I'm leaning toward Angluar too - but really like knockout.
Oh, the quandry!

That;s why I;'m leaning towards Angular - but i feel knockout is just better and simpler (sure, doesn't do as much for you either!)
Just have to learn both, I guess!
And Android development.
And C++ (again - it's changed so much)
too much to learn, too little time!

Angular is like ASP.NET MVC. At first there's a real learning curve, but once you know how it works and build something, working on it becomes quick, clean and easy

Ah, there's so many frameworks to choose from in the javascript world. Angular does look good. I am totally unconvinced that NoSQL databases are actually necessary and even helpful, so I'll be interested to hear more about your thoughts on Mongo.

Lambdas are the cat's meow, I use them all the time nowadays. Continuation functions are really cool too and absolutely necessary to understand when working in functional programming languages.
I don't do this too often:
(relevance < minRelevance).Then(() => minRelevance = relevance);
(relevance > maxRelevance).Then(() => maxRelevance = relevance);
But it is really nice for one line conditionals and a great example of passing a code snippet as a method parameter and using extension methods.
static bool Then(this bool b, Action f)
{
if (b) { f(); }
return b;
}

Mostly I wait until someone pays me to do something that requires a particular technology. Otherwise, my time is one of the few things I "own" and therefore spend a lot of it investigating my own interesting ideas and technologies.

Yeah, that looks really cool. The truth is, I am doing some work in Angular and Kinetic, and so that's where my time goes. Like you, I am aware, but I need a reason to dig in to really learn it. I do enough C# that I feel like I should learn it, either way, but I've not managed to do so, yet.
I agree on NoSQL, I suspect it's the new thing that people feel they 'need' when they don't. I've heard of people start with NoSQL and realise they need SQL to do what they want. But, I want to know enough about it that if someone wants to pay us to use it, I can put my hand up and say I know it.

The coolest thing I've done with Action and Func is to put the call that processes a message into an Action lambda expression and then, depending on whether I'm animating the "mailing" of the message or not, the code either calls the Action or packages it up as part of what the animation code needs to know (sender/receiver and message.)
Then, when the animation code is complete (the message is received), the animator simply calls the Action and it executes at that point. The crazy and cool thing is, the animation code doesn't know and doesn't care what the action is, it just gets done when the message. And it's neat because it all works across assembly boundaries, there's no need for the animator to know about the executing code's namespaces, etc.
Anyways, I ramble, because it was a really good example of getting code to be more flexible in its behavior. If you have watched any of the HOPE[^] videos, you'll see what I mean.
Here's[^] a great article on computation expressions and continuations in C# and F#. It's well worth sinking one's teeth into.

I just tried to register for a 'free' report at an accountant's web site. Entered First, Last, Email, Pass and captcha. Then clicked on 'Register' to get this
INSERT INTO `dbbizval`.`tblauth` (`fldCustomerID`, `fldCustomerUserName`, `fldCustomerPassword`, `fldCustomerEmail`, `fldCustomerDate`, `fldCustomerFirstName`, `fldCustomerLastName`, `fldCustomerAddress1`, `fldCustomerCity`, `fldCustomerStateID`, `fldCustomerCountryID`, `fldCustomerPostCode`, `fldCustomerPhone`, `fldActive`, `fldLoginAttempts`, `fldDisabledTime`, `fldRandomKey`, `fldHowHeard`) VALUES (NULL, "My Email address", "MyPassword", "MyEmail", CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, "Paul", "Linton", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, "1", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);Could not connect: Access denied for user 'dbbizval'@'27.50.90.137' (using password: YES) (My email and password were both displayed in plain text)
Nice of them to give me their username and password as well as telling me my own.

I recommend re-registering with the first name of "truncate table dbbizval.tblauth;"

Found dead in his home of an apparent suicide... Aged 63.

All I can say is Wow I'm dumbfounded, didn't know he was battling depression. The world will be a much sadder place without him. R.I.P.
I loved when he and Jonathon Winters got together, it was always amazing.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Robin Williams was despondent over not being included in a "facts" list on a certain popular nerd-site.
Robin Williams was never formally charged in the banana smuggling scandal of '85.
Robin Williams not only laughed in the face of adversity, he laughed at the face of adversity.
Without Robin Williams, no one would have watched "and Mindy".
In Alladin we really saw Robin Williams' genie-ous.

Wow, this is very sad.
BTW, I'd never thought he was already 63 !

OMG! 63! I thought it was the drugs and the lifestyle made him look older!
That's sad. I really liked "let me entertain you"
