You still have time. The real fun starts in february.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I enjoyed the Fasching celebrations when I lived in München! it goes on until the 6th of January so you get to leave the Xmas lights up until then (although you take down Father Xmas, etc.).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Cool... at least a mini explanation... I was always wondering... how the elephant works this game?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

First, develop a twisted mind. It won't help you with solving the clues, but it'll make you feel better watching others suffer and fail.
Then, have a read of this: How to Solve Cryptic Crosswords[^] - it gives some useful pointers.
In this case, My thinking went sorta like this:
Around Coffee tasting, leaders of every major European department were resentful
Around Coffee - could be an anagram, or "Coffee" in the middle, or something meaning or to do with coffee.
tasting - No ideas immediately, may be related to coffee. "Wonderful", "great", ... maybe "Java"?
leaders of every major European department were resentful - "Leaders" could mena "first letter of": EMEDWR
So...what's it all mean?
Nothing.
OR, assume "were resentful" is the whole answer: "Leaders" would become "EMED", "resentful" could mean
EM------ED
"Coffee" or "Coffee tasting", six letters, whole means "resentful"...
EMCOFFEEED
Nope...ten letter words for "resentful"? EMBITTERED ... ah!
"Coffee Tasting" == BITTER
And we're done.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ennio Morricone - The Ecstacy of Gold[^]
This week another soundtrack.
Listened to this song a lot this week because it's only the best soundtrack ever from an awesome movie that's played during an awesome scene
This one has been in my playlist for many years and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
Might've been SOTW before, can't quite remember...

I like it but...
ENNIO MORRICONE -"Sixty Seconds To What?" (1965) - YouTube[^]
I like this movie more and the two scenes in which this soundtrack appears... and Gianmaria Volontè interpretations... woah.

I've seen the entire trilogy, but I can't remember the Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More movie and soundtracks that well.
They're Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood and Ennio Morricone though, so of course they're good

Love that track.

Today started off to take a look at Angular 2 for the first time. Setting up tools and environment itself is painful. I now realize how awesome MS has been with .Net and IDEs.

TBH I find Visual Studio gets in the way a lot; I prefer to use WebStorm for front-end stuff these days. I'm finding myself working in VS less and less overall (really now just for building web services).
Angular 3 is tipped to be released soon 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

I still type in html and js for front end (oh..but that is so old some would say) so have not really experienced problems.
I saw the post on insider about A3. Let me get basics right and then see which version should I go for.

The main problem I have is VS conflicting with gulp/grunt tasks around building (.ts, .less/scss) and moving files around (node_modules, removing .ts and .js.map files).
You can manually edit the .csproj file and disable certain bits, but it seems like overkill having to do this for every SPA (especially where there's no C# code) being developed.

Ok, I am using VS code. Just started today. May be my views would change in future.

Ah, I use that for .NET Core Web API development - it seems to be decent enough, at least it gets out of the way. I sometimes think that Visual Studio (not Code) tries to do too many things sometimes..

don't be too hasty ... i coded in C# for a lot of time and i started coding in TypeScript and using Angular2 since a couple of months now. I had my doubts in the beginning, but now they are all almost gone

I am not hasty about Angular itself. I barely know it. I am annoyed with setting up my environment to get started with it.
BTW, it looks like a different world for now.
