I see, thanks. Though this feels like something that would always have a better alternative than returning Some(None). Probably a new enum, or in Python's case, exceptions (e.g. instead of returning a value if the document is missing, you'd raise DocumentMissingError or something)

Can you explain or give an example of nested optional types? I don't quite see how that makes sense

If I understand the article correctly, there is no boiling water, it uses hot air only. It says the concentrated solar generates air up to nearly 1000 degrees, and that's used to heat up compressed air to run through a turbine, with the eziting air at around 250 degrees. Burning fuel would replace the initial source of hot air. Burning fossil fuels to get hot air and then dumping 250 degree air to the environment doesn't seem very efficient, but the article doesn't mention anything about the efficiency of the process with either source.

Does say the hot air at the end can be used for industrial processes, so it might not be completely lost

Based on the estimate in the article, Australia had 60k reservations. That's a 9m initial loan. Probably not significant for Tesla, but not nothing! If you bought Tesla stock with that money, spread across 2019, that'd be worth nearly 200m now so I guess that's a good estimate for what Tesla got out of this?

Rockstar is American right?

> from the UK and European advertisers Why would "European" advertisers come into this, I don't think ofcom has jurisdiction outside of the UK?

Not geothermal I would think?

The BioPykrete name is kinda funny. As opposed to the regular pykrete, made with the famously not-bio wood pulp

I'm sure it would also be salient to me if I went to the dentist and saw a hygienist some big disfigurement on his face. But if I then spent a whole paragraph talking about how grotesque it was when writing an article about the dentist, it would (rightfully) come across as weird and mean spirited

From the repo owner:

> Seems like a git push credential of some kind was compromised, not an npm or GitHub token. Still working with the GitHub team to get some better forensics on what/how. The attack consisted of malicious commits and tagged pushes to main.

So it didn't go through review, it was pushed straight to main. It also seems their publishing pipeline was already secured against this sort of thing:

> Zod's release flow was already secured against kind of attack via trusted publishing and a dedicated GitHub environment for secure deployments. Zod's release CI worked as designed and was already secure against this; NPM's malware scanning didn't prevent any malicious here.

Good inspiration, thanks. I intend to add a few more things like a section for notes/pictures and ranking by importance, but this looks like a good starting point

> Projects priority list which tells me what to do each day based on last update for each project (each project has a desired frequency of work and it prioritises by "lateness"). Checks git activity and RSS feeds to see what I'm neglecting

I've been meaning to find or build something like this for a while, specifically for house maintenance and projects. Did you make this yourself? Available anywhere?

Given this is a free service, what's the endgame of this "evil plan"? I don't know much about SSL and such so I assumed lowering this lifetime has some safety benefit

Yes, but it's delicious, delicious maintenance. I'd take the joy of eating good food over plugging into a wall to recharge any day

I've been reading the Mars trilogy (by Kim Stanley Robinson) after it was recommended on an HN thread a while back, and it's been on my mind to look into what the "chaos" was. Pretty neat
