Firefox's containers are useless for privacy, given other enhancements of Firefox (e.g., Total Cookie Protection). And as far as "isolation", privacy or security are concerned, Chrome's profiles are actually superior due to ability to have different extensions and history per profile. Chrome's extensions in general still have superior security (e.g., activate on click or only for certain websites), so sometimes different profiles aren't even needed.

Chrome's Profiles are also remembered when you "install an app" (SSB/PWA), so you could have "apps" started in their own profiles.

Firefox's containers are only useful if you want multiple logins to the same service in the same browser window. But I never found that usecase to be very compelling.

Firefox's containers are an often lauded feature, and I don't understand why, given the integration issues or general awkwardness. It's probably a reminiscence of the "Facebook container" extension, which was a bandaid until better site isolation was implemented.
Regular expressions are a great example of bundling up some really neat and complex mathematical theory into a valuable interface. Linear algebra feels similar to me.
I started my career with VB/VBA/Access, but got burned by one of their non-backward compatible upgrades (I don't remember which versions) that derailed an important project. This was around the time that Java was what the cool kids were using, and I was very amenable to trying open source after that experience, and I never looked back.

It was a great experience though, especially for a self-taught beginner long before code academies and YouTube.

Stupid question as someone who worked on wifi for many many years:
What is the point of this?
How is this remotely useful?
There are tons of better technologies to use?

Let me guess, this thing puts the wifi into some constant transmit mode and measures loss rates as it passes through objects, and scans in some pattern, measuring loss rates at the other side.

Is this just packet based radar? Is this a cute way of saying "using the 5GHz band to scan through walls when you have a receiver on the other side of your object"?

Here's the thing:
different materials absorb / reflect radio waves with different characteristics. You could just as easily make these letters out of a completely different material that doesn't remotely resemble a letter and it could look exactly like a letter.

How is this useful? And why is wifi the medium to do it.
You can't just do this with a regular old driver. Your normal driver will be selecting antennas, adjusting rates for loss rates. This is clearly a dedicated radio with some open source driver that they've hacked to do this.

Ugh. This just seems like a dumb waste of time. This isn't even a passive radar, as it requires there to be a receiver on the other side. There is no bouncing back of signals.

"It does not require any prior RF data for training a machine learning system for RF sensing."
Yes, but it does require very specific material characteristics that it is trying to detect at fixed distances. Namely edge keller cones on specific materials, and hoping that other materials don't replicate similar patterns.

I think the answer is: because Microsoft let it. I'm a big fan of modern .NET, but my biggest complaint is that Microsoft views, and always has, the CLR as the C# Language Runtime and not the Common Language Runtime.

For example, see the relationship between F# and C#. The CLR is constantly getting features that are only to support features in C#, leaving F# in a position where they either don't get the feature, can't add the feature, or begrudgingly add the feature to keep up compatibility with C#, which is something it does take seriously. But this has the effect of "dirtying up" the F# language by either adding features that don't really belong in the language or keeping features out.

The other thing is that C# consistently adds features to itself that are inspired by F#, since F# already implements these features on the CLR, thus showing their viability. So what happens is that C# continually approaches a more bloated language with a subset of it being a poor copy of F#. But then F# gets dragged along towards having a small subset of C# in it for compatibility purposes. So it's simultaneously making both languages worse.

Even the iron languages project that lead to IronPython, IronRuby, etc. was a bit of a Trojan horse to test out and exercise the CLR and .NET with no intention of ever providing long-term support for those projects. The DLR, which was implemented to support those, appears to be just maintained by a skeleton crew of people invested in it, probably by those interested in keeping IronPython up and running.

I do not understand why Microsoft takes this approach. It is myopic, shows a misunderstanding of their own technology in the CLR, and ultimately turns C# into another C++, leave dead languages and projects in the wake.
This is a pretty big accusation without any kind of sources or links or whatsoever, you could at least name them or their cases so one can research on their own...
> If they asked a flight to divert, that may open multiple other cans of worms.

Any ATC system has to be resilient enough to handle a diversion on account of things like bad weather, mechanical failure or a medical emergency. In fact, I would think the diversion of one aircraft would be less of a problem than those caused by bad weather, and certainly less than the problem caused by this failure. Furthermore, I would guess that the mitigation would be just to manually direct the flight according to the accepted flight plan, as it was a completely valid one.

One of the many problems here is that they could not identify the problem-triggering flight plan for hours, and only with the assistance of the vendor's engineers. Another is that the system had immediately foreclosed on that option anyway, by shutting down.
Also could mean, "I fired the guy who knew".

In other words: legislation has failed, it's time for more legislation.

My observation is that most people don't care about their data being used by Big Tech. Not as much as they care about short term convenience, momentary distraction, long-term addiction, or the catastrophic possibility that they may miss out on something popular. The way to "take on" Big Tech would be for people to change their real preferences for what Big Tech offers. In practice, this would mean not using Google, Meta, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, and so on. That's it, that's the option. Failing that (which is the contingency we should expect) nothing, including legislation or regulation, will have the effect you want it to have. We keep getting what we ask for and then wringing our hands over it.

If the legislation forces them, they'll probably install one 150kw station somewhere off to the side. There will be a market for the cheapest, smallest one which meets the rule.

To recoup the money would they be allowed to up-charge for it? "I was forced to install this, I am getting my money back in 2 years..." kind of an idea.

You don't install chargers in thru-ways (like a gas-pump) and you don't install gas-pumps on the fringes where you'd normally have parking (like an EV charger). I don't think the land-use argument really holds, here, since it would likely be installed where there's simply parking.

And by increasing the density of chargers, you are spreading out the usage, so _per station_ the increase in cars idling in their lots I don't think would be a significant problem.
I wonder if there's a UX team somewhere that got bored and needed to justify their existence with unasked for changes and user research deliberately misinterpreted to support their stance. I'm only bitter about this having experienced it a few too many times.
It feels like it would make more sense to encourage installation of charging infrastructure at places where you might want to be for half an hour anyway; parks with parking lots, restaurants, grocery stores, etc; rather than encouraging it at gas stations, except for in the rural highway case where gas stations might be all that's easy to find when you're driving between urban areas.
That is not in any way a legal right.
> If you use Tokio's single-threaded runtime, things get simpler.

I don't do a lot of low level work, but coming out of Elixir / Erlang I would expect a greenlet system to manage the # of threads based on the hardware its running on. I.e. not single threaded or "you manage the threads too" but "a standard piece of code spreads your greenlet processes between N managed hardware threads where N is determined by hardware + settings." Is that not a thing that the Rust async libraries support?

Interesting blurb from the linked article (not Reuters, despite the link's name: https://carbuzz.com/news/germany-will-make-it-law-for-gas-st...)

===

Interestingly, earlier this year, Tesla dragged Tank & Rest, a large gas station corporation in Germany, to court over its monopoly over service stations along the Autobahn, as the company has the right to decide where chargers can be installed. Tesla feels that it should be allowed to install Superchargers where they're most needed. With this new law, Tank & Rest may be pressured into working with Tesla to save on installation costs for mandated chargers.

The actual Reuters article has even less information though:

Oh man, I remember building GUI apps with it in college. My professor only let me use it on the condition that I could fully explain what every component was doing. I could. I took the generated swing code and added a massive amount of comments, but even having to do that I was still an order of magnitude faster than every other CS student without. A lot of my peers were super jealous that I had so much free time, but they weren't willing to invest time in their tools (gdb, perl, regex, sql, etc). It was quite the force multiplier.
That's fine, and is exactly the kind of case that I was thinking of: your software has a different idea of what is valid than an upstream piece of software, so from your perspective it is invalid. So you need to pull this message out of the stream, sideline it so it can be looked at by someone qualified enough to make the call of what's the case (because it could well be either way) and processing for all other messages should continue as normal. After all the only reason you can say with confidence that it in fact was valid is because someone looked at it! You can only do that well after the fact.

A message switch [1] that I worked on had to deal with messages sources from 100's of different parties and while in principle everybody was working from the same spec (CCITT [2]) every day some malformed messages would land in the 'error' queue. Usually the problem was on the side of the sender, but sometimes (fortunately rarely) it wasn't and then the software would be improved to be able to handle that case correctly as well. Given the size of the specs and the many variations on the protocols it wasn't weird at all to see parties get confused. What's surprising is that it happens as rarely as it does.

The big takeaway here should be that even if something happens very rarely it should still not result in a massive cascade, the system should handle this gracefully.

This is a clear straw man is it not? Who is saying gas stations aren’t allowed to install ev charge stations?

Ensuring infrastructure is available everywhere is one of the most important roles of governments. Imagine buying a car if there were only roads in some cities instead of everywhere, doesn't make much sense. This ensures you will have charging stations everywhere, and that greatly increases the value of electric cars.

I change carriers so incredibly rarely (way less than once per decade) that I've never even considered that as an annoyance. Even if I did switch carriers, I can't imagine that I'd have found it to be much of an issue, switching carriers isn't exactly urgent. And the one-time cost of a new SIM is really low.

But I will admit that it's a potential advantage of eSIM. If you do switch somewhat frequently, I can see it being convenient (assuming all the technical stuff works out).

This really isn't about input. Whether it comes from outside or produce inside the application, the reality is that everything can have bugs. A correct input can cause a buggy application to fail. So while verifying input is obviously an important step, it is not even a beginning if you are really looking to building reliable software.

What really is the heart of the matter is for the entire thing to be allowed to crash due to a problem with single transaction.

What you really want to do is to have firewalls. For example, you want a separate module that runs individual transactions and a separate shell that orchestrates everything but has no or very limited contact with the individual transactions. As bad as giving up on processing a single aircraft is, allowing the problem to cascade to entire system is way worse.

What's even more tragic about this monumental waste of resources is that the knowledge about how to do all of this is readily available. The aerospace and automotive industry have very high development standards along with people you can hire who know those standards and how to use them to write reliable software.

It's about the order of operations.

Ubiquitous fast charging infrastructure makes it much easier for people to make the switch to EVs, especially for people who don't have the ability to charge at their homes.

Lacking that, increasing gasoline taxes will just anger people who don't have access to a practical electric fueling option.

In all seriousness, it depends on your frequency used, building materials, national limits on WiFi output power (which some routers/firmwares respect more than others), etc.

5 GHz in particular has trouble passing through concrete and metal. If you have a small wood house or apartment it often isn't an issue, but if your office has a lot of concrete and steel, etc. it could be problematic. Those enterprise mesh networks exist for a reason :)

I don't understand. All those things are real to me. What definition of real are you using?
The problem with your assertion that it wasn't clear what I was referring to is that it is contingent on the supposition that your mental ability put you in the category of someone I intended to present my ideas to.
You know, the point of this post was that “medical science is pretty bad at recognizing real, non-somatic causes of these diseases when the cause is not obvious, and instead tends to handwave onto somatic causes, and people generally find this offensive especially when the cause is determined another few years later and they’re asked to pay $50k a year for something their doctor was sure wasn’t real two years ago”.

And yet you’ve somehow both completely missed this point, and deflected onto “but doctors get pushback and even personal threats when they try to double down on this even harder”. Yeah, don’t default to telling patients it’s all in their head, after a while it gets offensive, especially when a few years later you try and charge them $50k a year to treat a disease you told them wasn’t real.

“Somatic research” is fine on paper but in practice it’s usually an excuse to deflect from a disease that cannot be adequately explained in medicalized terms. Everyone knows “somatic” means “in your head” and that inherently leads to a course of treatment that’s “get the patient to believe it’s not real”. And since many of these diseases do have medical causes that are not somatic (but not adequately medicalized for treatment) this gets offensive after a while.
