Synonyms of "By" and their differences
Q:
We will meet you BY the restaurant tomorrow ve We will meet you AT the restaurant tomorrow. arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
BY – this means that you are next to the restaurant. You are not inside the location, but standing alongside – presumably on the sidewalk or something like that.
AT – This is less easy to define. When we say that we are – at – a place we mean that we are occupying the general location of that place. Imagine a street marked on a map – if you went to that street in real life, you could say that you were at that location. If you say that you are at the bank, then you are close enough to the bank that you can be easily associated with that location – either you are inside the bank, or you are right next to it. And it’s the same thing with the restaurant. You don’t have to literally be inside, but you could be – either way, you are absolutely right on top of that location.

Q:
I would start BY trying to contact the aircraft using the backup radio. ve I would start TRYING to contact the aircraft using the backup radio. arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
I think it's more nuanced than the previous response. The first sentence means you're likely to have to try multiple things, like "I would start by trying this, then I would try something else, then this, etc."
The second sentence implied you should start trying, but doesn't imply that you'll have to try something else next.
The second sentence implied you should start trying, but doesn't imply that you'll have to try something else next.
Q:
I did it all BY MYSELF ve I did it all ON MY OWN arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
"I made the cookies by myself!"
"I made the cookies on my own!"
Yes they can be used alternately. And although I've never thought about it, "on my own" is just *slightly * more casual/informal than "by myself".
Hope this helps. :)

BY FAR ve SO FAR arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
@MarcosC: by far is a way of emphasising. e.g. "it's the best by far" (it's MUCH better than anything else) or "it's the worst by far (it's MUCH worse).
So far means up until this point in time/until now. e.g. "So far I have only read half the book" or "So far I have visited two countries (but I want to visit more)". So far indicates that there is more of the action to do.
