From a blurb in an e-mail from Manning Publishers re a new book on the Meteor Framework, yet another "full-stack" JavaScript do-all-be-all (never heard of it before):
Meteor applications react to changes in data instantly, so you get impossibly responsive user experiences. I sure do want to have impossibly responsive user experiences ! And, hey, how about super-size that to include miraculous $ales ?
Pretty soon there'll be so many FrameWorks out there the only place you can get a half-stack is at the International House of Pancakes.

What's really needed is a framework to manage frameworks.

The first problem with this sort of statement is that developers are scientists in the true sense of the word(evidence based, repeatability and peer review of our work is common) and we are just going to pick the crap out of statements like that.
The second problem is that much of the time our bosses are not scientists and will swallow that sort of statement hook line and sinker.

Meteor is actually pretty popular, but only came to Windows pretty recently.
Generally, I like Manning books. I prefer Manning over Apress or O'Reilly 
I do agree that's an impossibly bad sales pitch though

No, no - it was me. I was here when I typed it.

Sadly he has gone from being a member to being a remember.

He's not dead as long as we 'member him.

For those in Canada or ex-pats elsewhere, happy Thanksgiving!
|
|

I was under the impression Thanksgiving was a thing those south of you did but hey happy day!

I think Thanksgiving in Canada is where all the Canadians give thanks they aren't USAians! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I did Wiki it, looks like the tradition was taken North by Americans who liked the Royal Family!, & didn't like George Washington

People are people; good and bad on both sides of the border.

Giving thanks for a successful harvest was a tradition imported from Europe. It is celebrated when the harvest happens; in Canada, that is October, in the U.S., November.
From Canada, live in the U.S. - celebrate both! Next Saturday, will be with 50 or so people for 'Canadian Thanksgiving', in November, will be in West Virginia providing and serving Thanksgiving dinner.

Since yesterday, when I try to update Windows Defender definitions, I get a "Connection failed" error. Has anybody else experienced the same?
Note: I can manually download the definitions file and install it by hand, but I cannot do it from within Defender.
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,
when their violent passions are spent?
