I hear a lot about how great ReSharper is and would love to try it out some time. I love Visual Studio, but I develop Ionic (hybrid apps). Visual Studio has great Cordova support, and ReSharper seems to have TypeScript / JavaScript support, but would it be worth it if I do mainly this. Will I miss out on most of it's features?

You could contact ReSharper and get a definitive answer. You could try their message boards, too.
I love ReSharper, but don't know about its use with hybrid apps.

Never hurts to look around and see what other folks are doing, what problems they are having recently with the tools/context you are considering: [^], [^].
I can't imagine not having ReSharper working for me (note that I'm not doing cross-platform yogic contortions); I consider it the single best tool for programming I have ever seen ... and I go way ... way ... back to when you, James, were not even a concept, let alone a conception 
cheers, Bill

I mentioned a while back that I would be doing a app development competition against a bunch of other high school students. Well today was the day I presented my app at the state conference. After networking with all my competitiors and seeing their apps. My team and I were confident that we could make it to the nationals from state and were really excited. We have a really nice Ionic app, that seemed to look better than many others. (I fell special being the only hybrid developer ) On the website, we were told we would have ethernet and HDMI access, but when we got to the room, all we were provided with was some ancient projector and tried to use an HDMI to VGA converter, that did not want to work with my friends MacBook Pro. After struggling for a few minutes, we explained to the judges what was going on and they agreed to allow us to present it on his Mac (oh boy). Our presentation turned out well (at least for not having our notes), and my team still feels like we have a chance, but I fell like we just went from top three material at state to maybe fifth place.
Anyway, I am now anxiously awaiting tomorrow to see what goes on. Hopefully, we don;t get knocked for this stupid issue, but we'll see.

You have learnt an important lesson, Grasshopper. Never trust a third party's resources list. Better to take your own and find they are not needed than to not and find they are!

Best wished, James !

Win, Lose, Or Draw, think about this....
How many high school students today, when they are thirty something, will ever have the foresight to think something like this through, ahead of time, when they are presenting something to, say, a thirty billion dollar company's executive board for their first shot at selling them their stuff ?
Answer: One. You.

Today is the day. Best of luck in this.
And, yes, of no cable avail to show, while it is important to that of the "adaptation" within the current environment, do also learn of how to come as fully prepared as possible.
However, of the "presentation" anomaly being a "factor", that's not what interests judges, being one myself in such this type of competition.
"Does it run/work on the intended system?" is the first thing to answer. It seems you proved that, and then proved all the other factors (running & completing the demo).
That is "success".
Certainly, winning is the next "level" of that success.
Let us know the outcome!

I have a Surface Pro. An original. It's been sitting around as a tester machine for a while but I recently upgraded it to Windows 10 and have been finding it more and more useful. OK, from "Not really useful" to "Dammit I forgot my laptop - I'll plug in a keyboard and display to the Surface and use it today" sort of useful.
And it's working well. It's old, it only has 4 GB, but it's handling everything I'm throwing at it so far. I was thinking maybe I could use this when travelling. No more bringing the laptop out of the back at airports, no more heavy macbook in the backpack. Let's see how it likes VS 2015 and SQL Server.
And then I saw the battery life: 91% and 2hr 13 min remaining.
I though it was a mistake until I thought back to when this thing was released and the typical battery life we used to consider "adequate". Sure, even when the Surface was released people complained about the battery life but I was amused to find myself automatically reacting to a battery life of less than 10hrs as "useless to me".
I can't help but wonder if the latest advances in batteries[^] will make us look back and think "Wow - only a day of battery life. Anything less than a month or so of charge is uesless to me".

The contractors who work with me have surface pros and they have nothing but praise for them - if you can afford one, they are definitely the machine to go for when travelling a lot.

Quote: I saw the battery life: 91% and 2hr 13 min remaining.
Well at least it gives you a clue as to how long it will last!
Several times I have seen 91% battery and though 'I don't need to charge it' only have a couple of things to do and 'fuppt' after 15 mins it dies! (more than one long walk in the cold was caused by that, ahh analogue mobiles how thee are missed, NOT!). I agree though, wouldn't it be nice if the battery was changeable for new tech when needed.

i love that the Kindle can run for a month on a single charge.
obvs, a Kindle is not doing any hard work.

And if it's a "paperwhite" screen, it's literally doing nothing until you turn a page.
|
|
|
|
|
it's burning the LED backlight!
very hard work.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, so it's not a paper white screen. No backlight on those.
|
|
|
|
|
there's a light on current paperwhites. but it's shining from the side of the display, not from behind. so they officially call it a "sidelight". but that's a stupid name.
|
|
|
|
|
There is? Hmm.
Oh, well. I see no need to replace my EZReader, anyway.
Although I may have to hunt up a battery. Dang thing is 8 years old and only holding a charge for a week or so, instead of the month or 6 weeks it used to.

The biggest advances isn't in batteries, but rather in processors and led backlit monitors.
My previous laptop lasted at the best a bit more than two hours.
My current laptop has a battery that's only two thirds of the size of the old one, but it lasts up to ten hours.

That reminds me. They had a battery keyboard on the Surface accessories site that apparently was double fit with an extra battery so the external one would go flat before the internal one. It was out of stock when I found it. Maybe have another look!

That would make it as heavy as my Macbook (and still have only half its battery life)

Good question about the battery life. My wife went out and bought a Surface, she loves it. One day she complained about the battery not charging. No real way to change the battery out (unit is glued together). Some things should be replaceable, but you know the story behind that.

I just got a spam email that got through the normal filters into my inbox. It looked to be from someone I know; though when I read again it was not who I had thought of first. It was a spoof google doc share, I get quite a few from daughter for her homework, and it looked completely correct until I paused over the link. The link was obviously wrong, leading to a .ru url.
Just be careful out there.
