no lies, told: I like this quote from SparkJava
> Lately, a lot of server-side web development has been taken over by NodeJS, but a growing number of NodeJS developers are using TypeScript and other statically typed languages that compile to JavaScript. Why not go all the way and use a language that was actually designed with types, and intended to run on the server-side? You also get all the benefits of running your application on the JVM, where libraries aren’t deprecated every day. If you’re coming from ExpressJS, then Spark’s syntax will feel very familiar, and unlike a lot of JavaScript web frameworks, Spark won’t be deprecated tomorrow.

as someone who has experience with ExpressJS I agree massively. Typescript you end up fighting the tooling most of the time, rather than getting work done.

To avoid all this complexity, server side render pages in html - scalable to infinity. then sprinkle js using script tags n tools like Mithril, Vue, Knockout etc on
pages needed.

I had a professor who was very excited about their work. Coming from an environmental and ecological point of view with a decent amount of idealism, I thought the whole thing was a little pie-in-the-sky wackadoodle.

Totally second this but on a different ground. It's simply the noise it makes.

Many people have been left trapped at home, working remotely as a result of Covid. A noisy machine, such as a gas-powered leaf blower, can disrupt a peaceful neighborhood day. Imagine your neighbor to your left mowing the lawn at 8 a.m., then neighbor to your right at 9 a.m., then another cross the street started at 10 a.m., and on and on.. It made our already dismal lockdown, stay-at-home life even more despised!

We are in dire need of much quieter neighborhood leaf blower.

Can someone explain that graph? I thought each of the blue lines (the "vintages" if you will) corresponds to a CBO estimate made in that particular year, e.g. the 2005 line would project forward from 2005 reality.

But if you look at some of the lines, that interpretation doesn't make sense. For example, the dark blue "2010" line is already well above the actual data (the black line) in 2010. So what do these CBO estimate "vintages" actually represent?

Not really a disagreement with pjmlp, but MS has had several internal projects like this, where they create an “ideal state” for some part of their software portfolio, then incorporate learned lessons into their existing software packages.

A feature store is just a set of features stored somewhere or with the instructions how to compute them. The benefit is that you can easily add new computed features to the store by telling it how it is computed, and then that new feature just works like any other feature. This lets you create a lot of reusable features and signals just by adding the code without touching the data. So you can do code review, add documentation to them and spread the knowledge hose these signals works throughout the organization.

I work the graveyard shift, babysitting a rack of servers that do batch processing for a state government's means-tested benefits programs overnight. I monitor the batches, handle deployments, and install OS patches. I do a maximum of 90 minutes of real work a night, but stay up in case something goes wrong overnight. It's the ideal gig: no meetings, no culture bullshit, and as long as I follow the run book, the machines stay up, and the batches work properly nobody gives a shit about me.
The math is monumentally off. It fixates on 5 specific people having issiues, instead of: There exist some 5 loosely connected people that some HN-er heard about, and probably hasn't even met all of them in person, especially the ones that died.

The implied qualification of - there exists a HN-er so divide by 1e9 to get odds - is nowhere close to accounting for the additional degrees of freedom from the social graph.

it’s energetically too expensive for basically no benefit (in daily life), so that’s why it’s limited to escape situations where the mortal danger outweighs energetic cost.

this robot is also impractical beyond its research value for the same reason, too energetically costly. it’s too energetically costly because it’s constantly actively actuated, with two different sets of locomotors needing coordination on top of that, to achieve dynamic stability. animals rely on passive dynamic stability (akin to springs and dampers) to conserve energy and extend actuation time/efficiency (due to evolutionary pressure).

It's funny that people who go out of their way to announce their "support" for marginalized people don't bother asking the gardeners who use them why they use them.

In California those are overwhelmingly Mexican, and they're working in the hot sun to feed their families. They use a leaf blower because it lets them get done faster and make a little more money.

This only applies to sales of new equipment starting in 2024. Existing equipment isn't banned.

Good move, IMO. Electric yard equipment is now good enough that gas alternatives aren't necessary in most cases. Lawn care professionals will have to make a moderate investment in batteries up front, but even those are becoming more affordable and easier to charge on the go.

The combination of multi-battery chargers and vehicles with built-in AC inverters (new electric F-150 is brilliant) means the batteries can even be charged straight off of the truck, eliminating the need to carry gasoline around or even stop at gas stations at all.

I had an electric lawn mower it was great compared to gas mainly due to it being so quiet.

Charging wasn't too bad at first one battery for the front yard and one for the back. But then one battery would not charge as much or run for as long as when new. The store had moved on to new models so I couldnt buy a battery in store. Even if I could it was expensive $100, the mower cost $250. Online even the manufacturer seemed to have moved on and not have the battery type. But if it did price plus shipping and tax would be high.

It cut grass OK but if it was too long it would eat up the battery or stall. The grass catcher bag would also require more from the battery.

One day at three years old thw mower just quit. The good battery is OK so it must be the mower motor.

I looked at electric but the new ones are $500 they took a big jump in price. I bought a new gas mower.

> Electric yard equipment is now good enough that gas alternatives aren't necessary in most cases.

Have you used any? The batteries last 100x less than the tiny amount of petrol you pour into. You have to recharge 3x just to mow the whole (moderately sized) lawn. Hopefully newer models are better, but given the slow progress of car batteries, I doubt they're much better.
As a bit of a pushback to this - doing the opposite and not considering optimizations and edge cases is perhaps a major source of so many YC startups (and any startups out there that need tech in general) fail when they reach any sort of critical mass - simple is always good, if it actually works at scale.

Facebook's now infamous implosion a few days ago harkens to this - their system is clearly NOT simple, but it works extremely well 99.9% of the time.

I think you should compare the money supply with economic growth. (Money velocity: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V)

There's a relation between the two:

> Economic growth tends to have a natural deflationary effect, even if the supply of money does not shrink. Some evidence of this phenomenon can be observed in the technology sector, where innovations and technological advancements are growing faster than inflation; currently, the prices of televisions, cellphones, and computers tend to be falling.

Yes, I use them every week and they're great.

They've come a long way in the past few years. If your only experience is from several years ago then it's nothing like modern tools. Definitely don't have to recharge to mow an entire lawn, or even recharge every week.

> New portable gas-powered generators also must be zero-emissions by 2028

Fascinated by this large scale "green washing" taking place.

As of today 50% of the electricity made in california comes from natural gas...

On top of that an extra 37% of california electricity is imported from others states which are running mostly of natural gas...

You can also add an extra 30% of energy coming from petrol for cars , public transport and so forth.

Yet they go after "wind blower".

It baffles me.
The argument is we shouldn’t be dumping air quality externalities on everyone to have attractive landscaping.

Everyone is collectively used to burning fossil fuels without paying the true cost, and wrings their hands when they have to pay for their use case with zero emissions technology. The value of clean air is proven from scientific research on emissions.

Are these "mobs" organized (which by definition flirts with not being a mob)? Or do they manifest and are fed by the algorythm? Or a bit of both?

The point being, there seems to be a steady stream things that get a free pass. On the other hand, seemingly random - and often less impactful - things / people get canceled. Mind you, the media is often guilty of the same disconnect. But they too are driven by engagement and profit.

It seems web development devolves more and more from "use the right tool for the job" and KISS (not that it ever fully was either) to "use all the tools you can find for the job" and focus on process instead of product.

While I appreciate that a lot of things have gotten more straight forward since I started mid 2000s, the cynic in me can't help but think that the primary reason for many of those tools to exist is to sell SaaS subscriptions, consultancy services, courses and certifications, not to solve a real world users problem.

I wonder what the impact of this on the field is going to be long term. The barrier of entry has gotten insanely high with all the tools you supposedly need to know. Yes of course you can still learn it the "old fashioned" way, but that's not what you will find/perceive when you look how to get started. What I see quite a bit in interviews for juniors devs is, that they know a whole lot of different tools and technologies, but often have a very shallow understanding how to solve non tutorial problems with them. Which is not per se a problem, it's something you learn on the job. But I often see a unwillingness to dig deeper, get a more profound understanding instead of immediately trying to solve a problem in one tool by adding yet another. Steadily increasing system complexity and making it harder to maintain.

Good point around avoiding the call in the first place. This is a very tricky topic, I’ve found. Things that try to guess the nuanced health of a dependency can lead to outages when they guess wrong. These circuit breakers are helpful if they’re right, but harmful if they’re wrong.

For example, say a service is backed by a partitioned cache cluster, where the data is hashed to a particular cache node. Now let’s say one node has a problem, causing requests to data that lives on that node to fail, but others to succeed. If a client is making requests for data that happens to live on all nodes (the client doesn’t know about these nodes by the way, it’s just an implementation detail of the service) and sees an increased error rate, should it start failing some requests? It could take a single partition outage and increase the scope of impact into a full outage.

Anyway I’ve been meaning to write an Amazon Builders’ Library article on this topic, or to convince someone else to do it (looking at you, Marc Brooker!)
It would be more significative to REDUCE the spent power, instead of changing the power storage from hydrocarbon to battery, e.g. change the grass to something that doesn't require trimming as often, or at all, like clovers.

But for people, beautiful grass is more important than the environment.
This. I've lost my respect for so many developers who have decided to go to work for these net-social-negative surveillance companies for a fat paycheck and justify their decision by the argument that if they didn't accept the offer, then someone worse would accept.

What annoys me is not that they took the job for the paycheck (we all have to eat at the end of the say), but rather the fact that all it takes to appease their moral conscience is such a weak and flimsy bit of moral acrobatics. Have a spine and accept the real consequences of your actions at least.
