Israel will accept you for making aliyah with any conversion (or none, if you have even a small amount of Jewish blood). Being a "real Jew" in the eyes of Israel may have some cachet for someone... but I don't know anybody who made a decision about which movement to convert in on that basis. I also doubt seriously that the Orthodox movement experiences more conversion than the other movements. It's smaller than either the Reform or Conservative movements.
It's a useful tool (and huge thanks to those who built it -- and SlimerJS for that matter) but whenever I've reached for there's always been some issue to resolve, generally relating to the exact version and/or set of APIs supported. Headless mode (with PDF support -- which it looks like the latest version of the Chromium remote protocol does indeed have) built into a mainstream browsers is nearly guaranteed to be a smoother experience.

Gravity Brands | Senior Data Engineer, Senior Full Stack Developer, Marketing Automation Engineer| Los Angeles (DTLA) | Full-time Onsite | www.gravitybrands.com

We filled our Director of Engineering and a Full stack position through our Feb 2017 HN post and I'm happy to be back on here!

Gravity Brands is a 2.5 years young startup focused on content creation and data marketing. We also benefit from producing all of our products in-house and profiting from selling those well-loved brands. We're looking to launch a second brand in the fall and will need to create a new technical environment when we launch, similar to when we created one for our first brand, which is conveniently making around 45 million annually.

Now that I stole an amazing Director of Engineering from Rackspace, we're introducing some team structure, engineering goals, growth opportunities and kicking off building things like:
- Custom analytics platform
- Robust data ingestion pipelines
- A micro-services environment
- Introducing a new site + platform for our second and third brand...
and so much more!

Email me at gabrielle(at)gravitybrands.com with your resume and which position you're interested and I will get back within a week! www.gravitybrands.com

I vote for less rectangles and more triangles (like the smaller bike in the picture). It is more structurally sound that way.
Not everyone cares about the same things you do. I used paperless post for my wedding because it was easy, free, and physical wedding invitations are not important to me or my wife in any way.

Nobody complained, it took a couple hours to get everything set up the way we wanted it, and within a few days we had around a 90% response rate. Only 1 person RSVPed as no so it doesn't seem like anyone got the impression we didn't care about them
That was fairly clearly fiction and the panic was exaggerated.
Yes, definitely have faced that problem with IntelliJ. It eats up memory and consumption grows while the IDE stays open, which it always does for me. Better autocomplete would be the killer feature that would win me over, so fingers crossed it gets better!

> People who convert are usually stronger believers, so they would convert to the more undiluted version of the religion anyway.

That doesn't follow; converts are very often quite passionate about the beliefs of the group they convert to, and it's distinction form others, but that doesn't mean that they necessarily prefer the version that is seen as most pure by outsiders.
The goal should also be sparking discussion. If a few guests starting having the same thoughts that are going on here, that would be a win.
To put that into perspective, here's a cool video of a guy riding through LA on a 14.5' (4.4m) bike.
https://vimeo.com/64653759
I'm being glib in talking about the collapse of California as inevitable: I certainly don't know that those states won't be able to tax their way out of the problem. States are somewhat limited in their taxation abilities compared to European countries though, in that they have no ability to control the flow of labor/capital across their borders. That being said, I'd point out that Tennessee doesn't have a San Francisco/LA or a Chicago or a New York. A lot of its economic competitiveness is built on being a low-tax environment.
I don't know the lineage or history of any specific family names. However, two facts I know:

- Many Parsis are named Metha and Patel

- Fleeing from Persia, the first Parsis landed their ships and took refuge in Gujarath.

Fun story (However, I don't know if it is factual):

Fleeing from Persia, their ships actually landed in many places but were not welcome. Finally, they landed in Gujarath, and the king of the land was kind and spoke with them, but rejected their plea for refuge.

The story goes: The king brought out a bowl filled to the brim with milk. A bowl so full it was impossible to fit another drop of milk. He said to the Persian refuges, "this is my kingdom, I'm sorry but as you can see, we will not be able to fit you". And the first Parsis understood, but asked the king, "can we have a spoon of sugar?". The king a bit confused, provided them a spoon of sugar. And they said, "We understand your kingdom is full. We do not want to take any of your room ..." They then very slowly (I imagine painstakingly) sprinkled the sugar into the bowl of milk. Emptying the spoon, and spilling no milk. "... We only want to help make your kingdom sweeter".

As they say, the rest is history.
This is fantastic. I'm using a combination of Chrome and PhantomJS for karma testing right now, for https://github.com/paypal/paypal-checkout and https://github.com/krakenjs/xcomponent. There are hundreds of tests opening up hundreds of iframes and popup windows, and sending a lot of cross-window messages, and that ends up being really memory hungry.

Chrome deals pretty well with garbage collection, so long as I'm careful to de-reference closed windows properly¹, and only uses a maximum of 150mbs. PhantomJS eats up almost 6GB of memory before it's done, which makes it almost unusable on machines with less memory or CI boxes. Travis is a no-go.

I'm hoping running Chrome in headless mode should give a nice speedup for our tests.

¹ Turns out even a closed popup window or iframe keeps a huge amount of memory hanging around. Who knew.
I really wish that modal interfaces were more popular. Modal interfaces are a fantastic way to make complex (or even simple) systems accessible and usable.

There is an irrational fear of modal interfaces that is prolific in teaching software design. It seems like everyone has agreed that Caps Lock sucks, and therefore modal interface is inherently awful.

For the trie, things would be a lot better if the words got longer. All the 'inefficiencies' of a trie lie in the pointer chasing. The great thing is that you can process a string 'on-line'.

If things start getting really big, there are some tricks with LCP-arrays and constant time RMQ (range minimal query) that have great theoretical performance. I haven't seen that stuff in practice though.
It's the reason we have not yet had WW3. The jury is out on whether that is a good thing.

Simpler, perhaps, is to print the two images (or documents, or whatever), each one on a separate piece of paper. Put the two pieces of paper on top of each other, hold them up to the or a bright light, and look at them. The differences should be easily discernable.

The Importance of Better Internal Communications

Contra here. I've been whittling down my physical possessions over the years, and during a messy LTR split last year, rather than try to deal with all of my possessions, I ditched pretty much everything that was replaceable or not regularly used. Everything I have left fits in a couple of suitcases, maybe less.

It does feel like a great weight has been lifted.

I don't think of myself as hardcore particularly. I rent a furnished place, and "rent" my transportation. (I even rent my primary dev CPUs and storage, in the cloud.)

There's nothing wrong with having a lot of stuff, but there is a mental cost to it. It's somewhat difficult to imagine putting up with a lot of possessions now. YMMV.
It is difficult to separate work and non-work with a home office.

That was not my experience at all. When I worked at home, I worked regular hours, and didn't do any non-work stuff during those hours. And after those hours were done, I didn't do any work stuff.

I basically kept to a strict 8:30-5 routine, and never had any issue.
> A side note: Military doesn't man the ICBMs. They are controlled by civilians. This is by design because the past administrations didn't trust the military to control ICBMs. The fear that they would use them without hesitation was too great.

Wut? Pretty sure that's totally false. US ICBM control stations are manned by Air Force personnel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Global_Strike_Comman....

The military still had control, even after they changed the codes on the warhead activation locks to all zeros: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_Action_Link#Develop...

If you're talking about civilian control of the military, you're talking about the President and Secretary of Defense, not a dude in a bunker.
This is really well done. I think there are some issues with the chronology of how some of it would play out but that's nitpicking. If you enjoy this kind of thing, I very much suggest reading Red Storm Rising. It's somewhat old at this point but presents a very detailed account of this kind of situation.
I dunno, I'm pretty tied into the Apple ecosystem. I'm only okay with it because they're very principled on privacy, and will probably be around for a long time. But all my photos, contacts, and lots of my data are all with apple. I suspect many users have even more tied up with Google on Android.

Pretty much all the "social" policies enumerated are about pricing negative externalities. It may not be Economics 101, but every last one of these things has genuine economic value.

More generally, economics doesn't exist in a vacuum: for a working system of trade, you need rules, enforcement and redress. Thinking you can consider one without the other is like thinking Newton's Laws are the last word in physics.

I'm terrible at responding to physical invitations (I had two friends actually have to ask me in person after I didn't get back to them for over a month).

But an SMS invite I most likely would get back to you within a day, most likely, possibly within ten minutes. For people like me, it's so much easier and much lower friction to respond to a text.

I can be just as bad with email. My parents get responses from me a lot more quickly now that they've started getting into the habit of texting (yes, it's taken that long).

Interview with Andy Hunt, Coauthor of the Pragmatic Programmer
Glad you followed up with "in my opinion". All in all sounds very preachy to me.
Either way, this sounds like a way you say it vs. what you said argument. I'd rather have someone share a special moment in their life with me than worry about wasting 10 minutes writing an invitation. Plus as stated else where one can pay a company to handwrite notes for you.
Getting up and down? With something this tall, it's a rolling ladder, you stop against a building, or have someone supporting your stop.

Stopping at a light? Ideally you don't, you time the light, ride in circles, or hope oncoming traffic stops for you. I wouldn't recommend the latter.

Suffix tries are an even better example. Donald Knuth once heralded them as the greatest algorithmic break-through of the '70s but in practice, it doesn't quite perform.

The point of suffix tries is finding substrings. I.e. build a suffix trie of all of Shakespear's works in linear time and memory (linear w.r.t. the total length of the string). And then, given a potential quote of length K, see if it is in Shakespear's work in O(K) time. The big draw there is that the complexity of string lookups does not depend on the length of the big text against which you are matching. This finds practical use in genome sequencing.

Today in Apple history: Apple co-founder quits and cashes in his stake for $800
I've had some success with that approach and am considering adopting it as my "goto" approach (over my current approach, Trello, for which I just stare at all the cards on the board and panic at how much I have to do).

When a deadline is coming up, I take a 10 minute "organization break" and list the actual, concrete steps that need to be mechanically performed in order to complete the task. I think the problem is that my mind tends to get hung up on abstract task descriptions and I start overanalyzing. For instance, "Design welcome page" will turn into a wasted day of messing around with colors, fonts, and layout positioning. On the other hand, "Add X, Y, Z to prototype welcome page" is a much more concrete task and it defines completion so that I can move on to the next task on the list.

(Btw, you could turn your nested-robotic-link-list into a quick webapp that I bet would get a decent number of users.)
You could even do better and use a perfect hash if you have known constant list of strings.
I believe the answer is "yes" but this problem is not unique to semi-sync. Take a single server example:

You could ask the database to "COMMIT"; it receives the command and processes it, but does not manage to send you notification that it has managed.

There is a further failure state:

The master could be behind when it crashed. So you need to look at it's gtid executed set or re-image it before plugging it back in.

You are absolutely right - and the benchmark in the repository doesn't even try to get the value - it's only check for existent of key.

However, it can easily be fixed by using something like vector<tuple<string, types_t>> and supplying predicates for both std::sort and std::lower_bound to only consider the first element in the tuple. There will be some performance hit, but should be minimal.
Penny wise and pound foolish...

Micro-optimizations are often easier to wrap our heads around, so we tend to want to focus on them. They're also often situations where you can get a clear win rather than a much more imperfect improvement. In development, it's sometimes called bikeshedding. You see it often in financial planning where people would rather cut out their morning latte than focus on investing better.

This behavior makes little sense, but it does appear to be a fundamental human tendency and those who are better able to maintain perspective definitely have a huge advantage in life.

>each holding 64 bits

There is no way in hell you're going to store the entire physical state of a neuron in anything near 64 bits. The question is not "information stored in the brain". The question is "information required to recreate the brain". In fact a single neuron has many more than 64 synapses, each of which itself has a highly intricate structure. All of the information describing this structure must be retained intact in order for the image brain to be equivalent to the substrate.
What? These are different things.

This article is about the server deciding which requests to reject. Exponential backoff is a strategy clients use deciding when to retry after their request is rejected. (Plus, the article is about malicious clients; they're not going to follow your preferred backoff strategy.)

More concretely, how would exponential backoff ensure that you don't allow more than 10 requests/second per user?
qsort is both unsafer and slower than a good templated sort.
> There is a significant distinction between "company X hires open source person Y and allows them to spend some of their time on project Z" and "company X now owns project Z".

I completely agree. The former doesn't generally result in a press release and/or public announcement that includes phrases such as "... will continue to operate as a not-for-profit entity under the same management, with the same principles, ...".

Personally, I don't care one way or the other whether this was a "purchase" or a "merger" or "alliance" or whatever you want to call it. I have been a freenode user (and, if memory serves, an "occasional financial supporter") since (probably) shortly after it became freenode and I expect that I will continue to be a freenode user in the future (unless something major happens to change that).

Vaguely worded announcements and a lack of detail, however, tend to cause things like "wild speculation" and "jumping to conclusions".
