Living in Japan where mixed-use zoning is the norm, there is often a small local bar within walking distance from where you live that can fulfill this role. This has been one of the best parts of living here for me, I can’t imagine going ba

Yeah, I agree that it doesn’t make sense in the suburbs. It really depends on where you live. In the center of a large city, you can order something in a minute, pay a couple dollars extra, and have the food at your door in 10-15 minutes. D

These places are actually 9 square meters, including kitchen and bathroom. Typically, the “kitchen” is a hole in the wall which is barely big enough to use to prepare instant ramen, and the bathroom/toilet/shower are combined in

Nobody is forced into these apartments. They’re definitely the exception - not the rule. And for a similar price, you could get an apartment for double the size if you only add (quite) a bit of time to your commute. I think it’s great that

This is actually a thing in Japan. A number of real estate companies manage “share houses” where 10-20 people each get a ~9sqm room, with shared living space, kitchen, bathroom, etc. While I’ve never lived in one, the few times I’ve seen in

I want to point out that the linked article is hyperbolic (as most “Japanese people aren’t having kids/sex/etc.” articles are), and its title is outright misleading. It claims that Japan has the lowest birth rate ever. And while i

Yeah, this is definitely a thing. I'm a bit conflicted over it. One one hand, staying within the world of React components gives you a lot of functionality for free. And with Suspense and Hooks, the amount you can do within a component

This is a nice and simple solution! Just keep in mind that it'll interact badly with the browser's scroll-to-hash functionality. A full solution is a little more tricky, and probably involves code on multiple components: - You&#x2

I ran into many of the same issues as you, and open-sourced my solution (called Navi). Responding to a few of your pain points: * Relative links are supported out of the box. If you use '..', it is relative to the current "di
