In order for these changes to affect you in a perceivable way, you one need the following things to happen:

- devastating changes in income in your country (e.g. Greece)

- at least 20 orders of magnitude bigger fluctuations against another currency (a-la bitcoin)

- you need to work a FOREX

- you need to have someone investing at FOREX for you (which means that your grand-children and their grand-children will not have to get a real job no matter what).

So the real answer here since the OP lives in the US (so the first two options are off and last one is highly unlikely) and doesn't work on FOREX probably nothing.
1) Jumbo rates are basically the same as regular rates in this area. Source: https://www.dcu.org/loans/mortgage-fixed.html

2) We had the downpayment in cash. Selling the old house just let us replenish savings. Doesn't change the fact that it's possible to save 150k with two developers working (actually more, because we had previously saved for a down payment on our old house, and for extensive (100k+) renovations to our previous house).

3) I'm sorry you don't want an old house. Yes, they can have their problems, but so do houses of any age, including brand new ones. They also have charms that newer houses don't. It's a tradeoff. Newer houses are also available. The same day we first saw our house, we looked at another for around the same price built in the 70s a few blocks away (also in Medford). It needed a lot more work (a new kitchen) where our house was move in ready.

Get an inspection and figure out if the problems are deal breakers for you. Expensive problems are part of the "joy" of owning a house.
There's a class of interviews that are like this though. Knowing about that class is important because it's in heavy use. If it says "competency based interview" anywhere, don't do theory or generalities, prep as many specific examples as you can, and know the Situation/Task/Action/Result format.
Assange, Žižek, Varoufakis: Europe Is Kaput. Long Live Europe [video]
This idea made Elizabeth Warren famous. It was quite a profound finding. Well, I should speak for myself, when I first red the synopsis of the Two Income Trap it really felt like a slap on the head. It felt it was counter-intuitive, yet explains so much shiftily looking at own's family spending habits.

I also found the book's message darkly subversive sometimes. For example, all things being equal, it is better to spend more of your income on luxuries than on he biggies (housing, transportation, debt). If you do the former, you can easily roll back. If you do the latter, when times get tough, you're hosed. In yo face papaa!

I guess we just disagree on what that sentence is saying then. To me it says not that the US should care about non-citizens, but that, as a baseline, it cares about its own citizens more than it does about non-citizens.

On iOS, 2Doapp and Omnifocus have Safari plugins for saving links locally to a designated list or project in the app. 2Do can sync via CalDav and Omnifocus can sync via WebDav, to a self-hosted Linux VM, for optional cross-device sync.

What is missing is an app that will perform text analysis of the content behind the bookmarks, either on the mobile device or in the self-hosted VM. Computing "related stories" in the VM would conserve mobile device power.
It's just as likely that this data will be used to increase speed limits, under they theory that limits should be set at the 85th percentile of speed. Using data like this to make streets safe for people is anathema to the American driver.

What's the alternative to mixed-income housing? The US tried segregated low-income housing for decades, and the result was a disaster. The new system, called Section 8, is a privatized voucher system; it doesn't give tenants lower rents, but by subsidizing rents directly, it has the same fairness impact.
And especially, Behavioural Interviewing:

http://www.udel.edu/CSC/pdf/behav_interview.pdf
That's one way to deal with it, the other way is to not take it personally. It is not you who are being judged, you are merely a sales person selling your service, if the buyer ended up not buying yours, it's totally OK, you just find another buyer.

In the end, it's all about framing a situation in your own mind to make yourself comfortable with it. It is a very powerful technique to allow you perform well in stressful situations, and in a sense, keep yourself happy. It also applies to more than just interviews, but dating, social events, giving presentations, etc.
TLDR:

Blue Origin did a soft landing from above the Karman line. SpaceX is trying to do that from orbit. The former involves speeds 10x less and energies 100x less than the latter.

Still a hard thing to do no matter how you look at it, but the two goals are not trivial to compare.
After comparing the features of Core and Enterprise, it looks like the Core package is not self-hosted à la non-enterprise github. And the source at https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph seems to be the Enterprise version – minus 24/7 technical support and automatic backups I'd say.

>Be myself

Super important, and easier said than done. I was too much "myself" during an interview, and I ended up disparaging their choice of Visual Basic as their main language (at a trendy startup in 2015) a bit too heavily. Said I passed the interview except for that bit. Did a similar thing recently during a phone interview. Another trendy startup who acquired a legacy .NET product and were looking for engineers to "automate" it. Sorry, I'm not buying what you're selling.
Road infrastructure is horrid. That said, rail infrastructure is even worse, which is why there are so few railways in Africa.
Statistically, regardless of what the video is, most people haven't seen it. I always find it fun when someone is surprised someone else hasn't seen a specific movie or a popular video on youtube. I believe we're well past the point where even if you wanted to spend 24/7 watching videos, you couldn't possibly see everything that exists. Kind of out of the scope of this topic, but just a fun point to make.

I definitely enjoy seeing Malcom's father give advice, or is it a drug lord giving advice... hmm...
Which Flight Will Get You There Fastest?
Sort of. The ascent booster separates from the crew capsule, which basically uses parachutes for its deceleration. For descent of the booster, there will be some fuel requirements, but most of the work should also be done by the parachutes (I think. It just says "guided flight", but it would be weird if it did not use parachutes), with fuel only needed at the end.
They could also be signs of a defensive response on the part of the interviewee, who may be nervous. It is also a typical response of any person trying to maintain their sense of personal space.
There's folks who maintain that's why Europe entered the Industrial Revolution way before people out East did - non-Latin languages didn't take too kindly to be broken up into the pieces that could be used on a printing press!

Ask HN: Help me become a coder
I have been lurking in HN for some time now and I respect the insight people share here. Would you spare a bit of advice that can help me make a few important decisions in my life at this time?

A bit about myself: I am European but will be moving to US in a few months, in the NYC area. I am young and with a fresh degree in Physics but I've always felt my call is for hacking in the space of computers. So I recently decided to become a coder instead.

My practical and current goal is to be "employable" ASAP, ideally in much less than one year.
I already covered some basics in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery and Python but my options are still pretty much wide open, frontend, backend.

Due to the limited time I really need to optimize this process and get the minimum set of skills in the shortest time that will make me employable.
So I ask you, if you would be me:
- what stacks/technologies would you learn? Starting from the what is currently mostly in demand?
- how would you go about doing this learning as effective as possible? Best methods and resources.

This is ground breaking for me and all your insights will be gratefully appreciated.

How to bot: building a bot for Slack
You want to make at least a 24 hour window of plausible commit time, which is constrained by the previous pull time (assuming it is from someone else and not obfuscated), and the push time.

I would push at midnight UTC that is at least 24 hours after the most recent pull and set commit time = push time.
There are actually two films. The Get Lamp documentary and a recut version that's specifically about Infocom.
For comparison, I just pulled up http://arabic.cnn.com/

The headlines are a bit stylized and difficult to read as I'm not familiar with the font. Getting accustomed to a font is either more difficult in Arabic, or there are greater extremes in fonts -- I've never figured out which. Certainly I have to learn a new style of writing every time I read a hand written letter.

Most of the text on cnn's site is easier to read but feels mechanical compared to the harir font which feels like a significant improvement.

Harir is very easy to read, with few peculiarities. I don't claim to know fonts or which is better/worse, but I would say Harir is very good, at least for my sample size of one. You would have to ask a native speaker who might be more comfortable with script than type their opinion.
Treasury bills and notes are debts of the government. They pay interest. Federal Reserve Notes(FRN) are debt of the Federal Reserve and they pay no interest. Do you want me to go dig out the Federal Reserve Act and quote line and verse? Debts of the government are payable in FRNs. FRNs are debts. One FRN can be redeemed for exactly one FRN.

Why do people build a road or a factory? When Elon Musk builds a factory for batteries in Nevada he is doing it to lower the per unit cost of battery production due to increased efficiency. When someone paves a road to their house they are doing so to lower the cost in vehicle maintenance and time to traverse that road. Capital is created to lower costs.

You fall for the Keynesian fallacy that capital investment is just "spending"; that creating capital is economically equivalent to paying people to take a whole bunch of raw materials and burn them in a bonfire. Thus, you cannot distinguish between productive capital investment ,which lowers prices, and unproductive uses of resources, which raises prices. You probably think that war is good for the economy because it increases "spending".
I don't know, it sounds more like the interviewers didn't know how to actually interview someone properly. If they have questions they want specifically answered, they should ask them, not just sit around like a meek wallflower.

It could be that the OP just prattled on and on, and bored each of his interviewers and went off topic. If that's the case, then it makes sense, because we've all worked with people like that. But if the OP is actually a great candidate, and the interviewers passed on them because the interviewers didn't lead the discussion in the way they wanted, that's their fault, not his.

If that's what I were worried about then I think I'd just leave it at, "we didn't feel like our personalities meshed well" or "we don't think you are a culture fit" and leave it at that.

Do Fewer Things, Better
I haven't created large amounts of C/C++, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I was impressed by how well the source was commented and structured. Nice to see well documented, well thought out code, congrats
"The key intent of OSS is the right to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. The source code is just a prereq for that ability."

No, the key intent of open-sourcing software is to let one see the source. That's it. Additional intents are added with licensing terms. This goes back to academic and even proprietary (eg Burrough's 1960's MCP) examples that did this. Many models of it formed with examples ranging from permissive BSD to proprietary OSS like LISP machines (esp Genera) letting customers use the source of OS & supporting libs in applications.

So, OSS is a broader thing than you are describing which supports many models. There is no "spirit" so much as many different ideologies competing and pushing their own licensing schemes with various perceived benefits. Now there's one more.
I have been using Kafka 0.8.2 in a production setting for consuming real-time event traffic from our caching layer for six months. The most difficult parts of my experience were the occasional consumer lags that erupted without warning/cause in the high level Java consumer APIs. A lot of experimentation with their configuration proved to be futile and now we have had to create a feedback system that triggers alerts to change group Ids of our high level consumers every time some consumers start lagging.

Otherwise the performance of Kafka has been impressive (giving a throughput of upto 15000 packets/sec to a 8-consumer pool), even though I have not had the chance to compare it with any other such tool/library.

Nevertheless, I think this update is a long awaited one, and Kafka Connect may really be good starting point for building more (and better) endpoints.

So, being nervous?
I thought this was a very insightful article. I had always thought that for those upper-level positions, you would necessarily be talking more about philosophy and mindset than about specific instances. The idea being that you wouldn't be there if your fundamentals didn't stack up.

A lot of advice gets bandied about regarding interviews, and worse, a lot of people seem to think it's just a random walk, but really an interview is nothing more than a specific instance of exercising persuasion. Maybe you're successful, maybe you're not, but there's reasons why in either case. Coming to an understanding of all the angles is precisely the benefit of experience. Articles like this help me to understand what the game looks like.
jsdom is great, I have nothing but respect and admiration for its developers. But ultimately, it's not a very good representation of how browser implementations of the DOM really behave, and it's quite lax about letting you do things that won't work in browsers. So often your tests just end up testing that your code works in jsdom. Phantomjs has its own issues but is at least based on a real browser engine.

There are some nice tools that allow you to pipe JS to them for execution. For jsdom, there's jsdom-eval, and for phantom there's ghostface.

Lastly, I don't think there's much point casting about for the exact right assertion library or test harness framework. The important thing is the environment your tests run in, and how your tests are written of course. It doesn't matter if you're calling `assert(realValue, expectedValue)` or `expect(realValue).toBe(expectedValue)`, etc.
And in a more energy-efficient and elegant manner.

Boomer here.

1. I was not particularly well off in my 20s, nor were quite a few of my friends. Yes, the ones who went to law school did pretty well. To be sure, student debt was a vastly smaller problem them.

2. A large number of the people I deal with, and who are within five years of my age either way, are parents of young adults in the work force. There may be occasional bemusement by the younger generation's expectations, but I don't see much resentment.

3. Most of the boomers barely made it into the long economic expansion that followed WW II (though on the other hand you can say we owe our existence to it). You could see things getting tighter and tougher by the beginning of the 1970s. The consumer goods we could afford were a lot shinier and nicer than what our parents had, but the economic security was harder to come by.

I've never had a single potential employer do this, to avoid liability, I suppose.

To this day I have no idea why I didn't get the job at any of my failed interviews.
It's a bizarre side-effect of lacking query hints. This is my interpretation of the sequence of events:

1. Postgres will never implement query hints, because query hints are evil

2. In the real world people need them anyway, so they (ab)use implementation details that offer some control over the query plan (WITH is one example, see also OFFSET 0 and other hacks)

3. Everyone starts relying on these implementation details, e.g. you'll find people actually recommending this as a way to optimize queries in the mailing lists

4. Now when someone asks to fix the planner, someone else will point out this will break all the queries that have been "optimized" by depending on the old behavior

Postgres is generally a fairly sane project though, so I have some confidence they will come to their senses. Eventually.
You are giving interviewers a little more credit than they deserve. It's certainly a process for "feeling you out", but not so much "understanding".
