Look like old buildings? Sure. But actually be the same? No. Hell, the building I live in is less than 12 years old and the electric panel is no longer to code, the HVAC condensate line is no longer to code, the damn stairs are no longer to

There's a lot of reasons for zoning, not all of them are bad, even if most are. Preventing building a duplex around single family homes? Probably doesn't have fantastic reasons behind it. Preventing building a 50 stories skyscrape

Even if you allowed skyscrapers, most existing houses and buildings would be illegal because of code. The map on this particular page mentions it only looks at zoning, so it's still very valid. But my point is saying "X amount of

Yeah, that's why the title is kind of meaningless here. If you did the opposite (make it illegal to build single families in an area with only single families, to promote density), you'd end up with the exact same issue. A title l

You zone for what you want to build, not what is there already. The later wouldn't make any sense. The arguments generally given are to show that we're preventing building for density, pointing out NIMBYism, etc, but even if we we

Except almost everyone can produce things. You have to produce things people want. Not only that, you need to find the people who want your stuff, especially if its niche. Yes, I'm a highly paid software engineer. The people who create

Not everyone can work from home, but tons and tons of people can't work 9 to 5 either. We can instead start agreeing that the current system is pretty broken. When I was in elementary school, my parents had to start work much earlier t

It's also somewhat problematic: the above poster made a lot of assumptions about work day, but they're less and less true. Empty nesters, people without kids yet, childfree folks, all that rules out the school schedule (looking at

Probably depends on the game you play. I like to hack on some code while waiting for groups to form in MMOs for example. And I'm not building 10 million lines of C++ on the side. For moderate sized apps (<100k LoC) in higher level l

I've never seen an ad in Windows 10 aside on blog posts talking about the ads, though I do have the Pro version. The phone home stuff is likely still there though.

I can think of a few things. First, you get Windows for everything else (if you use the machine for personal stuff, gaming, need Office desktop apps, if you need Photoshop, etc). You get a lot of that on Mac though (well, less so on the gam

I mean, using Babel in the browser is essentially a build step. Your code isn't executed as is and has to be preprocessed. It's huge and slow. Not particularly viable. If your goal is just to play around, sure, but the point the V

For sure! I was just pointing out that discussing how easy Vue made it to change the delimiter ala Mustache isn't exactly a benefit vs React, since the whole concept doesn't reall exist there at all.

React doesn't have templates, so that's a non-issue. JSX is sugar on JavaScript, but it's not a string. So template delimiters don't matter (that is, if you didn't use a build step, then it would be straight javascr

React can be run from a single file from a CDN, and used without a build stage. Only catch is you don't get JSX. While by today's standard some people might consider that unacceptable, it was a fairly common way to use it when it

You can do that with various constructs without doing OOP style though. Eg: in JS you could use a symbol to store that state that is only known to the methods allowed to handle he array "internal" state. (JS isn't a great exa

Having a collection of methods associated to an object isn't really OOP though. You can have one without the other. There's also not a huge benefit to having data.sort() vs Array.sort(data). OOP is a lot more than that. One can ar
