India has extremely poor electricity infrastructure. Outages are long and regular, electrical lines are old and flimsy. Every time there's even a small rain, there's no electricity.

It's so bad that while traveling in India, I've seen electrical lines burning multiple times.

Also, India lacks its own energy sources and huge solar energy project was stopped by USA/WTO (because they were unhappy that India doesn't buy expensive solar panels from USA companies).

I was considering getting the robot until my wife got these sifting litter box trays. They come in three layers, with one being for filtration.

For better and worse, a low frequency publication will have the benefit of hindsight, which can lead to deeper thought but also a big bias in coverage. There is a tendency to create grand unified theories of the past, and pretend contrary stuff didn't exist.

Reading a higher frequency publication with a delay will reveal how much ambiguity there really was.

I think also we have learned why map/reduce or functional recursion is better than for loops - because the state of the system is explicitly contained; with a for loop you could literally mutate anything in scope, so the cognitive burden to understanding the process is potentially unbounded; with map, your state between iterations is nothing, and with reduce, it's strictly what you can stash in your accumulator.

I was laughing at myself the other week because I was having so much trouble writing a for loop because I had gotten used to the explicitness of the functional iteration operatiors

From my experience in construction, the works are usually divied up into packages or 'claim cards'. Then each supervisors are supposed to report how complete each package under their control is.

Problem is, this can sometimes be a little tricky and the supervisors often fudge the numbers to smooth out how their works look. Ie, they may have done 50% of the work, but will only claim 20% because they know that the last 50% worth of the claim card will actually take way longer. They don't want to look bad at the end of each week cause the estimators did a shit job. So they'll take their gains and average them out.

A system that was more automatic and had way more compliance built in would be cool to see. I doubt however, that an algorithm could solve what is predominately an issue of people and estimation.

There needs to be a whistleblower from a Googler about what’s going on.

I strongly suspect that a few Googlers have too much time on their hands. This speaks volumes to Google’s eventual downfall that they can’t keep their employees busy doing more important work.

My second theory it’s tied to Google’s outsourced workforce in India that handles their advertising accounts and the advertising platform. I think those workers are penalizing the sites that don’t respond or buy more advertising. This workforce has too much access to try to manipulate advertising spend.

Also, everyone should know by now that Google counts on brands to buy advertising for their trademarks to keep them as the first result. Otherwise these company names show up as 2-10.

Google knows which sites should be #1 for any given term. These are manually curated.
Those sites will be good test cases for the bookmarklet. And I see I have to add Fahrenheit for the next release.

The explanation of "Google Juice" given in the article is generally incorrect. Google very often does penalize sites by kicking them out of the index entirely. For example, see https://www.searchenginewatch.com/2013/08/01/what-is-pure-sp... .

For the queries I linked, I gave a specific example of oneboxes because this is a user interface that's specifically promoting a result as good. If there's any sort of penalty on a site, it's unlikely to be placed in such a UI.

At the end of the day, it isn't entirely visible to us what the Google algorithm is doing. Google does manually blacklist pages that Google considers to be spam - see that searchenginewatch article for some more information. But it doesn't appear that this is happening here.

The Online Slang Dictionary is not being unfairly penalized by Google. It's just not that great of a website.

I agree news can be mentally harmful but I actually think I disagree with Aaron's position here. The way he writes makes it sound like your citizenship and influence on policy and politics starts and ends every four years (or two) when you vote for new politicians.

Personally I believe this should be the bare minimum of democratic involvement. Voting is important, but you can do more than just that if you do decide you care about something -- contact representatives, attend local hearings or meetings, start petitions, etc.

This view of news consumption (i.e. don't bother) works when you only engage with your government via the ballot.

How I wish I knew that at my {previous}^2-job, where we were heavy JIRA users. I remember getting so angry off at the frontend performance that I actually (somehow) got minimal API access and ended up timesheeting from a Lisp REPL.

I thought about my previous comment through the night and realized that, at some point, I should have had found a reference manual for JIRA and read it end-to-end (reading manuals cover-to-cover is a superpower, but that realization only truly hit me around the end of said job). Also, I now know enough to articulate what was my biggest discomfort with JIRA (beyond abysmal performance): lack of clear mental model of what it does, and what is being represented inside. This came about not just because the product is large, but also because JIRA admins - we (developers) had access restricted only to a tiny portion of the product, so I couldn't just poke around (my usual way of grokking software) and build a clear mental picture. Next time in such situation, I'll just go straight into "read docs cover to cover" mode.

I suspected so! I saw some of these capabilities during my brief exposure to the "corporate pointy-haired MBA" project management tools during my time at the university. But I get the feeling that it's another place where Agile culture is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Shave your dry and oily (unwashed) face with an electric shaver.

I have sensitive skin. I used disposable razors for years and had got painful and disgusting blisters on my neck. I switched to a $40 Philips 3-head shaver and the blisters reduced. Then someone told me the secret to irritation-free shaving: shave dry, before washing. The oils on the skin protect it from damage by the shaver. I started to shave before my shower and my neck blisters mostly went away. Switching to a high quality foil shaver (Braun 7 Series) helped reduce the blisters even more.

The Braun 7 series is expensive, but the it lasts a long time. The heads last a long time and are inexpensive. I bought the shaver for $160 three years ago. I replace the shaver head once a year, for $35. So over three years, I've spent ($160 + 3 x $35)/3year = $230/3year = $77/year. Two gripes: 1) the battery is too big so it's a little heavy for travel, and 2) the charging port is not USB so I have to bring the charger when I travel. The base station with "cleaning cartridges" is a scam, just throw it in the recycling bin. When my Braun 7 series shaver breaks, I will buy another one immediately.

No, there's an important distinction here. Many countries tax world-wide income, but USA is one of the few that taxes your non-US income even if you are not considered a resident for tax purposes. For example, if you are a Canadian expat and notify the CRA, you do not have to file a tax return at all unless you earn income from Canada. However, if you are a US expat, you still must file US taxes each year (and pay the difference between my local taxes vs. what you would have owed in the US).

For what I hope is the last time, whatever the merits of a type with no values, that does not describe the semantics of void in argument and return position in C. ISO's definition is not relevant at all here, since they are using definitions specific to C rather than type-theoretic ones, and given that you haven't addressed any of the points I've made except to cite various standards bodies, I'm not really sure how else to explain this to you.

You are correct that it is possible to forego unit in exchange for defining vectors of length N as a fundamental type. This is the solution used by Rust, for example, in defining its tuple types, and in Rust indeed the empty tuple and unit are equivalent. Personally, I do not find this simpler than defining unit as a base type and pairing as a fundamental operation on types, since you are effectively just hiding the same cons/nil definition in the definition of natural numbers used for the list length. In any case, unit is not intended to automatically generalize to multiple types, and the rule for product types is a completely orthogonal feature that is useful by itself, so this seems like a bit of an aside. It also seems a bit pointless to introduce a general type like tuples of arbitrary length if you are going to restrict "arbitrary" to 0 or 1 (well, not pointless in some contexts, but in this one it seems strictly more complicated than just having a unit type, since any type you could use with a 1-tuple already has to exist in the first place).

I don't know why you assert that we don't need bottom under this model, however. A list of length zero is not the same as bottom, it is the same as unit (I believe you may have a fundamental misunderstanding about this?). To model bottom in an equivalent fashion, you would want a mechanism for defining sum types with N constructors--0 constructors represents bottom. And just like with the tuple case, this functionality is effectively equivalent to providing the bottom type plus a two-constructor sum type (although depending on the strength of your type theory, a more elaborate construction may be preferred, generally speaking you don't need to be able to define more than two constructors at a time).

Just to reiterate (and close the door on my end of this conversation): bottom and unit are not the same, and your proposed solution does not allow you to represent bottom. It allows you to represent void because void is not semantically bottom, it is semantically unit. I am extremely confident that whatever solution you come up with for representing void, whatever its individual merits, will either be interpretable as unit, or not reflect the actual semantics of C.
