This post brought back memories of my first 'real' computer, a mid-90's powermac 6100 that had some really awesome painting/drawing demos. I haven't seen anything that good since. Paint-3D is pretty good but still a bit primitive.
My colleague has actually been doing a lot of nice design work lately using MS Publisher and PowerPoint.

Is a hamstar praising them?

Much like a chase lounge being the proper venue for a "Hollywood casting couch".

No, it's a way for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to test pork products for contaminants and improper handling, all without analyzing any actual meat.

An amusing, but also not amusing, writeup: Why Angular Made Me Quit Web Dev – Hacker Noon[^]
Quote: Not a single part of ANGULAR’s design makes your code run faster. It increases only three things: complexity bloat, the time it takes to complete a simple feature, and — if you can somehow avoid driving yourself insane writing this spaghetti day in and day out — job security for you and your team.
Yup, that's certainly my (granted, very limited) experience.

Two years ago the management - out of the blue - decided to write the new version of our portals in Angular...
It is just a messy tool - probably good for a quick-and-dirty, few page long site, but has nothing to do with large scale (enterprise) development...
We have to bend it over and over, and glue together when brakes...

Amusing!  I'll stick with good old asp.net webforms thank you! It may not be 'cool' but I'm used to it (can be productive) and it's easy to debug and deploy/update.

My take, too. Unfortunately, as I start my job search (position eliminated due to my lack of experience with open source and Angular that my employer has decided to transition to) almost every .NET job in town requires experience with AngularJS. Oy.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Well, I can't really comment on Angular as I've never used it (Javascript itself was my reason for running a mile from web development) but I find some of the comments rather depressing.
Basically, a guy writes a highly amusing rant only to be met with replies along the lines of "I don't do humour. Angular is ace. You must die for your sins." It's kind of everything that's wrong with the bottom half of the internet.

Quote: One of the most reliable ways to discern whether a corporation has begun to rot is to gauge the derivative of the utility its products provide over time.
Hyperbole right off the bat. A sure indication of truth in the article.  Probably a good read nonetheless.

I figure it's a filter, as it's probably a sign of intelligence that someone knows what a derivative is.

I expected as much after spending an entire afternoon trying to write a simple app in Angular and not getting it done.
I then tried Vue.js and I was up and running in an hour.

There is definitely a lot of 'plumbing' required just to get a simple page up and running and retrieving data from a web api. It would have been nicer if it were a bit simpler. But overall I still like using it and would rather use it than Asp.Net MVC.

Ah... I did look at that word, but I couldn't work out how to get it so I didn't want to just post a guess, couldn't even get close to a solution for it.
And for some reason I was only playing around the the chemical symbols, rather than the full names. Amateur mistake!

Not a fan of indirect anagrams, to be honest.
The possible permutations of TwelveLetterAnagram(Synonym("Attracts") + NobleGases.Any()) must be pretty vast.
Who (apart from Griff) actually claimed that this was solvable?
Anyway, everyday being a school-day and all that, I have at least learned that there is one more noble gas than there was when I was a kid. Oganesson (formerly ununoctium) has apparently swollen the ranks of Group 18 even though it doesn't actually exist. They're a funny old crowd, them chemistry types ...

Well ... @DRHuff did. And I suspect that @musefan would have, if he hadn't got hung up on chemical; symbols. 
The trouble is that to make a theme non-trivial you pretty much have ramp up the rest of it. So I did. Maybe too far ... I'll make tomorrow's harder then.
