R and Python. Those seem to be big in the algo trading world.

Not learn, but suddenly gain 10 years experience in: Java. Whilst in the job market, I've passed over so many really good opportunities that demand high levels of Java experience. I could learn the language properly in a week.
Otherwise: Ruby. I'm already learning Python and TypeScript, and new languages like 'GO' haven't made my TODO) list yet.

Eventually it would be great to go with C# anytime with Mircrosoft's IDE...

I'm risking a lot here, but... Javascript.
Not because I think it's an interesting language, but because of the implications. If I was learning Javascript well enough to become proficient, that would mean I was doing web programming, which means my job security and ability to find another were that much greater.
My current skill set centers around C++/C#/C, Windows desktop, and process control applications. COBOL programmers have a higher success rate at finding jobs than that.

F# is pretty awesome. It's a functional-first language with access to all the .NET APIs you know and love. It's also just a really good language. Compared to C#, it makes lots of common and useful things easy to code (collection literals, record types, discriminated unions), and has some particularly powerful and interesting advanced features (computation expressions, type providers).
There are lots of other interesting languages (Swift, Rust, and Clojure are high on my list as well), but especially if you're comfortable in the .NET/Visual Studio world, F# is really outstanding.

I think that something that is well accepted in robotics circles might be useful. It seems to me that there will be a demand for folks that can read, understand, add-to, and clean up half-baked Python and C++ as more and more machines enter the workforce. There will, it seems to me, be a real demand to fix some legacy boggles.

Why do things like that never happen to me? oh.. right... I don't have a car.

Sheep are such stupid animals that they can't think and walk at the same time. Give them any decision (e.g. left or right of the car) and they just stand still.

Israeli archeologists dig up liquor bottles of WWI British troops
Quote: Excavation director Ron Toueg says uniform buttons, belt buckles and riding equipment were found near the city of Ramle in addition to the bottles of gin, whiskey and wine.
The article in Hebrew also shows pictures of 100 year old bottles of Gordon's Gin.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Nagy can't answer right at this moment. He's on his way to Israel with a shovel and a 10 gallon can of tonic. 
Hope it's "Finders keepers!"

Of the soldiers?
Of the snooty, elitist officers, more like.

Just had a very nice little instruction from the sat nav: "In three quarters of a mile, turn slightly right"
Not "turn right" or "stay to the right", but "slightly right". Not bad for a T junction...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's the English version (what was I saying about meiosis?)
The US version says "JEEZE, BUDDY! YOU ONLY GOT THREE-FOURTHS OF A MILE BEFORE YOU GOTTA HANG A HARD RIGHT!!!"

I had a similar one the other day: "In a half mile, go straight."

While touring in Spain we were cruising through a motorway junction near Bilbao where it is was 3 levels deep when the sat nav (sygic) insisted we turn right, we were on the top level going straight through. sat nav does not seem to deal well with verticals
