Angular embraces two way data binding while React does everything humanly possible to avoid it. I will also point out that Angular essentially re-implements JavaScript in the form of extensions to html. EG, if you want to iterate over some

As the article pointed out, the ternary operator, lambdas, and &&/|| make it easy to miss a tail call. I tend to agree with you - the later will see reduced use with named arguments while optimizing for the former doesn't

All of those problems are political; ie, we already know how to build more densely, how to make better trains, how to zone, etc. etc. For that matter, I doubt Uber for Houses would be successful (ignore all permits and just build).

I have shared your experience with front end tooling. I was recently pleasantly surprised by browserify. Next to no configuration - just a few chainable deps that are all built to work together. All in all, it took about 30 minutes from s

Where do you live? Most US cities aren't really urban - they were designed for cars, not people. Do you feel the same way about SF or NYC?

Something like 50% of all trips are by car in SF! I'm guessing NYC is better.

Thanks for the explanation! The assumption that volatility is a random walk strikes me as a very poor model when shit goes south. I would guess people use more sophisticated models in practice? Do you know of any good books on the subject

Its unclear how many of those units would turn into long term rentals. In in SF at least, I'm guessing well under half. Many, some, most? of the units are part timed occupied by the landlord. The commercial properties (run by busine
