How big of an install are you looking to do? I just did a ground mount install on my property. (4kw panels, 5kwh battery) If you are good with your hands, and can follow instructions then I would recommend you do the work your self. The actual installation of the panels and battery are close to plug n play. The cost of an electrician can easily double the project costs for small projects.
For the panels I did whatever was cheapest on signature solar. For batteries and inverter I did eco-worthy. (eBay for that, they run sales pretty often) in total is was $1000 for the panels (that included delivery) and around $1200 for the battery and inverter. If you have a truck then you might be able to find cheaper panels locally.

Kind of a weird headline. It makes it sound like this just happened. But it happened almost 2 years ago. Reading the article is also a bit confusing. I finally figured out they are only referring to utility scale solar and not total solar (utility plus behind the meter)
Presumably we have dammed everything that made sense to (and some that didn't), so solar / wind will keep growing while hydro is unlikely to change (unless it drops).
Uber does offer a similar setting in some markets. It took a while to roll out in the US because of legal uncertainties. So Uber waited until the feds gave them a promise that no action would be taken related to offering a “women only” or “women preferred” feature.
If you’re using Alpine already, then is there a good reason to use HTMX over alpine Ajax? They both look quite similar to me, but I don’t do enough front end work to tell the difference.
Htmx offers more flexibility than Alpine Ajax. Here's an example: htmx allows using relative selectors, which allow you to target elements relative to the triggering element in the DOM tree. This gives us a lot of power for swapping in pieces of UI without having to make up ids for lots of elements.
I have a blog post in the works for this feature, here's a small code sample I made to show the idea:
I have tried to use exclusively each of the libraries to better understand their limit, overtime I got to the following observations:
- htmx is more straightforward (because a lot of the magic basically happening in the backend) and helps a lot to keep some sanity.
- Alpine shines when you need more composition or reactivity in the frontend. But it gets verbose quickly. When you feel you are reimplementing the web, it means you went too far.
For pagination, page structure, big tables, confirmation after post etc. I usually go with htmx. Modals, complex form composition (especially when you need to populate dropdowns from differents APIs), fancy animations, I prefer Alpine. (I probably could do that with htmx and wrapping it in a backend - but often more flexible in the frontend directly.)
To me, the main reason why I use these libraries, is what I write today will still be valid in 5 years without having to re-write the whole thing, and it matters since I have to maintain most of what I write.
> The real problem with Java in particular is you'd end up chaining calls ... and have no idea from the error or the logs what was broken from: a.b.c.d();
That’s been solved since Java 14. (5 years ago) Now the error will tell you exactly what was null.
And “soon” Java will have built in support for expressing nullability in the type system. Though with existing tools like NullAway it’s already (in my opinion) a solved problem.
Chaos testing is such an interesting idea. At my last job we didn’t have access to any of these tools. So I made a poor man’s chaos testing library for Java and spring services. At the application level we would inject random faults into method calls.
It doesn’t test nearly as much as the real tools can, but it did find some bugs in our workflow engine where it wouldn’t properly resume failed tasks.
Per 1 billion vehicle-km the US has 6.9 deaths and the Netherlands has 4.7 deaths. That’s obviously better much but I wouldn’t call it “problem solved”.
My guess is better road design means less miles driven by cars (as opposed to other, safer vehicles) and therefore fewer accidents overall, even if car crash statistics remain the same.
1. Bazel is still not widely used outside of massive monorepos. (because its such a pain to use)
2. Solar power will surpass wind power in the US to become the 4th largest source of electricity. https://eia.languagelatte.com/
3. Starship begins launching real payloads, achieves reusability of the upper stage, and successfully does a ship to ship fuel transfer.
4. Tesla stock has a major correction (>20%) as it becomes increasingly clear that Waymo, Zoox, AVRide, and various Chinese companies are significantly ahead in AV technology. And as it becomes clear that Optimus is a sham.
Chinese will always be irrelevant to the US car market as both political parties will block chinese vehicle sales on (valid) national security grounds.
Uber and Lyft stocks crash as markets realise the game is up - nobody can compete with Tesla who can afford to burn excess spare factory capacity driving cars directly off the line to start picking up passengers. Waymo might have good AI but can't possibly compete with Teslas unit economics.
> 20% is not a major correction. It just recently doubled. Even at price before it doubled wasn't considered undervalued, so anything < 66% down is not a major correction.
