Growing takes time. Things like a surge in tourism or commercial activities can happen nearly overnight. In the city I live in (no NYC, but still one of the densest in the US and high demand), there's currently some big construction pr

Airbnb wouldn't want to do this though. A lot of cities are made almost entirely of condos and apartments that specifically rule out short term rentals (and have had since before Airbnb was even a thing). If people respected laws, rule

For sure, though my comment referred more to analysing code for things like automatic transformations at scale (like codemods) than during development. Like, figuring out that a stateless function component is a component is hard. You can d

And ES6 classes were designed long before they were implemented, around the time people were making class hierarchies with backbone and AMD modules were the future. The rise of Java and the OOP revolution isn't that far behind us (2

There's very few things JS classes can do that ES6 modules/named exports along with closures returning plain objects can't do better, in term of code organization, isolation, and extensibility. For the 6 times a year where I

Depends on the profit margin in a field. Some industries have razor thin margins. Unless your competitors do the same as you do (and in some industries, your competitors are in other countries with different standards of living), you don&#x

Holy shit. As a Canadian who moved to the US, that was quite surprising. Homeless people in big American cities are everywhere. In the couple of large Canadian cities I lived in, they were present, but not nearly as much. I guess Canada is

There was still a pretty easy line between "I take credit cards" and "I don't take credit cards". The rules for PCI drastically vary between company size too, in that compliance for small companies is pretty easy, a

Dealing with laws is hard. Dealing with laws that aren't even from your country is very hard. When you're in "move fast and break things" mode, getting stuff working for SOME users is better than having a complete soluti

The only benefit renters have when new construction come in is that they can get the hell out instead of being stuck with "beep beep beep" trucks backing up at 6am and demolition tremors all day long for 3-5 years straight (yeah,

Redux reducers were at least partly inspired by constructs of other languages that heavily rely on pattern matching. So I'd take it more as "You know this mediocre compromise we had to do because JS is missing this core language f

Note that when I say the "community" here, I don't necessarly mean you or people close to the project, but I rather refer to what I've been seeing here internally, when talking to people at meetups, twitter, etc. In the

Ironically, it used to be much simpler. The community was very much around using Redux like you would event sourcing (even though thats not how it was talked about), and it was much into the FP/Elm-like patterns it provided. You could

Well, for one, because one of the biggest ad vectors is retargeting. The ads aren't split in tiny overly broad categories. If you pick "videogame", unless they ask you if you like RPGs, which videogame do they advertise to yo

No, my eyesight both far and close was quite a bit better than average as of last week (as I was just there getting checked). We have a lot of 4k and 5k displays at work and most people who say they can tell a (significant) difference when

2560x1440 on a 27 inch at a reasonable distance is pretty darn close to optimal IMO, so 4k, to me, is for 34" monitors (but 27 inch I feel is optimal on 60-75 inch desks, which is what I usually work with, so 4k rarely matters). I&#x27

If I had the choice between no housing whatsoever and stock market, sure. Unfortunately being homeless kind of sucks so the choice is between being and renting. The former is cheaper if only because I don't have to deal with massive re

A rich person can buy the cheap option. A poor person usually cannot buy the expensive option. Of course the rule doesn't apply to everything, but it applies to "enough". Buying a house is often much better financially than r
