Yeah but

> Palo Alto Networks recommends creating a security policy in the firewall to block the QUIC application. With the QUIC traffic getting blocked by the Firewall, the Chrome browser will fall back to using traditional TLS/SSL. Note that this will not cause the user to lose any functionality on their browser. Firewall gains better visibility and control of Google applications with or without the SSL decryption enabled.

Fortinet also recommends blocking it.

> However, due to the protocol is still in an experimental stage, it is not supported by Fortinet and causes some issues when SSL inspection profiles are needed to block specific websites or applications provided by Google itself.

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Note-D...

And given how trivial and likely udp/443 is already blocked because the only reason prior to QUIC you would be hitting udp/443 is some malware trying to get past the firewall and hoping it's open without inspection turned on you're fighting an uphill battle.

This has a lot of interesting accidental rebuttals to some "features" of go.

> If you’re not in an entry-point function and you need to call a function that takes a context, your function should accept a context and pass that along.

This is in contrast to the fact that Go's cheap threading means that you don't need to colour your functions with async or not async. But this quote that you sort of have to do this with context or no context.

It isn't quite as bad as you can "skip steps" such as passing a context to a callback directly rather than needing the function that calls the callback to support contexts. But still in general your functions do have colour if you want to use contexts properly.

> most seasoned Go devs would leap out of their seats to tell you it’s an anti-pattern for libraries to start their own goroutines.

If goroutines are so cheap then why not let the library spawn them. As long as the interface doesn't reveal if they are being used or not it shouldn't matter.

That sentence feels like it's missing an "... um" (or two)
Of course -- and all of that has lead to the display technologies we take for granted these days and a number of other advances (low cost, low energy, high output LED lighting, for example).

This is an example of the reaction to any new technology -- electric cars catch fire and we suddenly forget we drive around in vehicles carrying large quantities of explosive gas (and work via controlled explosions). They get stuck in the winter and we forget the few times a winter we had to jump our gas car to get somewhere. I remember actual indicator lamps ... granted, they tended to serve very temporary lighting purposes and despite that were still often burned out (if your elevator in the 80s had floor indicator lamps, 25% or more were dead).

When it's good new technology, as the blue LED objectively is, it becomes mass produced and then mass adopted as "the cool new thing." And it was the cool new thing -- I remember thinking how neat the deep blue LED on my first AV receiver was. And then it becomes over-adopted. Most of the LEDs I have covered up in my bedroom aren't blue -- they're cool white[0] and oh so much brighter than the various-shades-of-blue ones that adorn other equipment throughout my electronics stuffed house.

[0] If they were warm white, but dim, I'd probably have a similar "that's neat" if they looked like earlier indicator lamps (but cleaner).

And yet for exactly light the entire premise is falsified. It's a hilarious own goal.
Hijacking my own comment:

I feel like I started talking about heat pumps a long time ago. I'm unable to find evidence for this before 2021. Anyway, it's certainly hit the cultural mainstream really fast over the last couple of years, and the story on the street is... manufacturers are running at capacity, installers have long waiting lists, some people are getting systems installed that aren't right for their space (too big or too small) and regretting it.

It's good that we're doing this, but it feels like a microcosm of our general cultural impatience. There's a limit to how much government subsidies can speed the adoption of a new technology. There are going to be issues with hiring a bunch of technicians to install heat pumps really fast if they suddenly don't have as much work in five years. The Spanish solar-energy debacle of the early 2010s rings in my head.

Maybe instead of setting big, distant, ambitious-sounding targets, we should set shorter, smaller, more gradual targets, and update every couple of years to accelerate in a sustainable way. It's pretty easy to say that the way to decarbonize the economy is "as fast as reasonably possible"; forecasting how fast that will be is hard, unnecessary, and potentially distracting.

When the queue is full, we can say that it's too late to replan and we're locked into the current plan. People can set X to what they want to increase the time that the plan can change at the expense of using more memory and higher latency to get the first tuple.

To a huge population, preferential differences directly and fundamentally imply bias. You see the data and say "see, X", they see the same data and say "see, Y."
What's your point? That statement has nothing to do with the problem at hand.
We have a set of those hyper heat mini splits to supplement a hydronic system which wasn’t expanded to several additions. They’re generally great but during the Midwest’s recent extremely cold snap down to a week or two of negative temperatures they were pretty disappointing and could not keep up. We ended up having to close off a few parts of the house to keep the temperature reasonable in the rest. I think that trusting heat to a heat pump system is not yet feasible in much of the Midwest and northeast.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice ;)
Hard agree. I lost everything. Pre kids: working in a startup with long (but enjoyable) hours, lots of travel, conferences, tech meetups multiple nights throughout the week followed by continued discussion / dinner / bar hopping afterwards, music festivals, clubbing until sunrise and time with friends on weekends. If I wanted to do something, focus on something, or neglect something it could happen.

Then I had a child and COVID hit at the same time.

I switched jobs to an org with much more stability, predictable hours, and absolutely devoid of any passion. Combine that with immense sleep deprivation, no child-compatible social network, and society going through its own existential challenges. My mental health was comatose.

It's hard. It's really fucking hard, but you will settle into new patterns that work for you, even if that takes time. I'm now a few years in, have redefined some sense of self, work part time (in the same org, but a properly enjoyable role) and have a tiny human that my partner and I are continuing to explore the world with. It's an inexplainable experience that you're about to embark on. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Evidently this is an opinion, and the argument - which you are, of course, free to disagree with - is that 'not seeing those things' implies a privilege from which you are benefiting, or an ability to ignore the fact there is injustice even if you aren't benefiting.

If you have a bit of damage on your front door, is it better for the person observing you as you walk through the door to point it out (hoping you fix it) or to not point it out (hoping you notice it yourself and fix it, or alternatively that whether you notice or not you choose not to fix it).

I do not think it is subject to debate that our front doors have damage, so the question is how to remove that damage in the short/long term.

You can share stuff with a multiprocess architecture just fine (either through IPC or just plain shared memory + synchronization)

It's true that threads share memory by default, but processes can opt into sharing memory if they wish. And it appears that Postgres already makes use of shared memory for some things

Vanilla JS is better these days than when React first arrived. ES Modules are natively supported in browsers now and give you much of a component system.

The only way to do that would be to introduce a concept that is orthogonal to functions (and their signatures) / errors, and that would mean an incredible increase in complexity. I doubt the Go authors will do that.

I beg you to please tell me how to uninstall a web browser altogether. I was dreaming of installing GrapheneOS but nobody in the forums was able to answer my question whether it was possible to uninstall the web browser altogether in a way that renders it impossible to be installed again in a whim.

I struggled to have a pixel delivered, for the 6th time, so I ended up with an iPhone, which has screen time.

My wife despises me when I ask her to manage screen lock codes for me, so I’ll ask a kind coworker I always meet on Tuesdays, to lock the screen time in my stead.

Were that to fail, I’m kind of doomed. I ducking spent around 12 hours yesterday scrolling between NH, Reddit, messaging, and other webs.

Another option is to get a signal capable feature phone, but those are also smartphones and quite expensive and outdated. For me, it’s either screen-time lock or grapheneOS without a web browser.

I know I’m missing on the good HN content but it’s still way too engaging.

I’d only allow “nautilus” and r/science and a few other websites whose engagement-interest ratio is higher

That part is great. It uses UDP, which means it helps prevent UDP from being sidelined or blocked by middleboxes. That in turn helps prevent the Internet from becoming a de-facto HTTP-only network, which was a trend that was kind of happening in the 20-teens and had me concerned.
PG&E electric rates are so high that it's operationally more expensive to use a heat pump than a condensing gas system. The heat pump is the better deal practically everywhere else in the contiguous US.

You need no proof when you can just dismiss any sort of criticism to the current state of things with a blanket accusation of people being reactionaries.
When I was growing up, my mother worked at a dolphin rescue center. I spent a whole lot of my early childhood there.

Some dolphins would be make friends with specific other dolphins, and enemies out of others (bullying / attacking) and needed to be kept apart. Not all of them would actually recover enough to live to old age.

I distinctly remember times when a dolphin had a friend die, they would display what I would consider depression symptoms. Not wanting to play with toys, less interest in eating, way less activity in general.

'Long release cycles: The joint deployment meant that there was increased fear of unintended production outages as debugging and rollback can be difficult for a deployment of this size. This drove the approach of the “release train”. Every two weeks, a “snapshot” of all modules was taken, and promoted to be a “release candidate”. This release candidate then went through exhaustive testing which attempted to cover as large a surface area as possible. This testing stage took about two weeks. Thus, depending on when the code change was merged, it could take anywhere between two and four weeks to reach production.'

I guess I'm just old, but I prefer the delay with a couple of weeks of testing versus pushing to prod and having the customer test the code.

Show HN: Oration (iOS) turns pdfs into audiobooks
Hello HN community!

I'm excited to introduce a project I've recently launched: Oration, an iOS app designed to convert PDFs into audiobooks. This idea was inspired by my experiences as an engineering student with ADHD, struggling to engage with dense academic papers. Relying on Text-to-Speech tools, despite their robotic quality, was a workaround for me and others with similar learning preferences or challenges, such as Dyslexia.

Recognizing the limitations of existing tools—difficulty with complex formats, inability to skip over citations or footnotes, and inadequate handling of tables, graphs, and figures—I developed Oration. Our goal is to refine these areas continuously, offering both summarized and full versions of PDFs for a more accessible learning experience.

Oration aims to serve as a high-quality, user-friendly platform for auditory learners and those who find traditional reading methods challenging, with features akin to popular audiobook apps like Audible or Spotify.

How Oration Works:

1. Download the app and sign up using either a username and password or through Google, with a 2-week free trial that doesn't require a payment method.
2. Upload a PDF document.
3. Within about 5-10 minutes, you'll receive a notification that your Audiobook is ready.
4. Listen to your Audiobook directly in the app or through a browser-based web player, which also facilitates easy sharing with friends and family.

Also, to emphasize - all audio generated by the user is yours to own! We're working on some updates to easily export .MP3 files of Oration Audiobooks you create

For an example of how the web player looks and functions, check out this link: https://player.oration.app/75e079c1-bd7e-4a16-8e02-23636837a...

I believe Oration can significantly benefit those who prefer or require alternative learning formats. We're committed to enhancing the app's functionality and user experience, so feedback and constructive criticism are always welcome.

Thank you for considering Oration, and I hope it proves to be a valuable tool for you or someone you know.
Always refreshing to see someone with their facts straight.
