I think Flow's in more direct trouble, but I wouldn't announce victory for TypeScript just yet. With wasm around the corner, things may (or may not, shrug) change significantly.
Even with wasm, much as I'm looking forward to the Great JS Purge personally, it's not going to happen anytime soon - too much existing code and devices. JS will remain necessary on the front-end for at least another decade, and probably beyond that. So TS will still be necessary to make the pill less bitter.
> but they’ve come to regret the decision because the running isn’t as good and socially right-wing politics still forces itself upon every space.
Not true at all. I have lived in Nashville (10+ years), Houston, and Bay Area. There might be some area like Franklin or Belle Meade that is more conservative. But overall Nashville is like most big cities in the south which is liberal.
Then that'd be a good thing? If people are not renting their homes or condos out, they can't just let them sit empty and will have to sell them at some point which increase housing supplies.
They certainly can leave them empty. There are ~20,000 vacant units in SF where the owners have determined it’s cheaper to keep them empty than rent them out.[1]
They either keep them as second homes or hold as an investment (no tenant means when they sell the price isn't depressed).
If real estate is appreciating 10% per year and you own a $2M home, that's $200K in appreciation each year. Sure, you might get $60K per year if you rent it, but if you have rent control, you'll never be able to sell it at market rates.
If you have kids, you might want to freeze their credit too. I listen to "The Perfect Scam" podcast, and they said that thief now prefers to steal kid or teenager identities since they can milk their account longer.
"Apple said it decided to sue after the company bought a number of its power adapters and charging and syncing cables "that were directly sold by Amazon.com – not a third-party seller – and determined that they were counterfeit."
I recalled multiple discussions about fake products on Amazon. I have been very careful not to order from 3rd party, but if even a product directly sold by Amazon can be fake, this is not good.
There is a phrase from Yaron Minsky about OCaml, “make illegal states unrepresentable”, which summarize this.
It's more about programming declaratively, functional, as well as strong types which allow you to be very expressive. My experience with F# is similar, if you can get you code compiled, it almost always just works as you expect. But this doesn't mean that you can avoid writing tests though.
Agree although I have been renting for the past 4 years as I don't feel settling down and still want to move around (e.g., working remotely). Depending on the market, owing might not be better economically (e.g., expense, flexibility to move), but it gives you peace of mind even if you don't plan to stay there forever.
The insurance industry is the enabler. Is there any other industry where you the individual do not know the cost until some third party that has agreed to pay the cost, negotiates said cost, and then even after negotiation may just give up and say, nevermind, pay it yourself?
