That heavily depends on where you go and the area. Not the same as a car, but when I went to get the check for the down payment on my home (which was 6 figures), I went to my bank which happened to be in a pretty upscale neighborhood were h

For sure that's great. The issue are still: - it's not there today - it still has to be bolted on (eg: adding new keywords, as opposed to, let say, Flow automatically doing nominal typing for Classes, which was the right move). -

Even if they enable it, it might be through a switch like strict nulls (which was a huge mistake to implement so late). That's not great.

Yeah, having equal leave + a bit more for actual pregnancy does make sense (it takes quite a bit leading up to childbirth and recovery after ward). not 3x as much though.

federal law gives 12 weeks unpaid leave. Companies may give paid leave, and usually make it uneven and pat themselves on the back by how pro-women they are, when they are effectively screwing them over long term for a short term benefit by

Its like municipal taxes. People don't get about the cost of the house itself. They only care about the monthly payment (or well, the total cost of ownership, since the deduction only directly affect you yearly). This is kind of like m

Any itemized deductions have to add up and pass the standard deduction. Thats normal, but they add up. With that said, as a lot of people said, in high cost areas, it goes really quick, especially if you add municipal taxes which can also b

Yeah, it's pretty trivial to rebuild Redux with a couple of functional building blocks, or my personal favorite, with RxJS and the scan operator. I'm surprised that didn't pick up more yet.

The docs are fine. Redux is just a victim of its popularity. A lot of people jumping on it are people who are used to things like Rails, where there's one way to do things, every little bit of boilerplate is abstracted away (and if you

While it wasn't really the original point, Redux picked up at a time where Angular 1 had a near monopoly. Redux got mindshare because it was the opposite. Do away with the magic, have a predictable flow, and virtually no framework. Jus

You don't even need a class, but either way, this is essentially how Elm works. There are very different semantics at work there though. Elm is Fractal, Redux is not. Each have tradeoffs. Some stuff gets simpler, some stuff gets harder

I really love Redux, and I use it for most things, but that is simply not true. Redux/MobX is a solution to the Angular 1-style issue where state is all over the place, but you sure can make full blown apps that way (it's not even

async/await is still based on promises, and promises are a naive/simplistic answer to the problem. It works fine for simple cases, but those are cases that were simple to begin with (Ok, maybe they would not be fine with CPS, but
