That's what I get for believing a Wikipedia page.
Thanks!

If you're going to update your skills, do neural networks instead, and ignore the front-end for one more year.
Browser tech and UI in general has been stabilizing and synching up ever since HTML5.
WASM is expected to unify the entire stack into a single dominant language. The milestone we need to reach for that to happen, is a workable garbage collector in WASM.
Meanwhile, everyone and their cat are preparing to fight for stack dominance.
Rust and Qt are already actively going for it, but they have a relatively small following with limited tooling.
C# is currently hitching a free ride on Mono's GC implementation, which is no-where near stable enough, but good enough to build exploratory tooling with like Blazor.
Meanwhile, .NET Core team is porting everything UI related and Enterprise-legacy related, shoring up for the paradigm shift that's inevitable.
I'm guessing Oracle will f*** up during all of this (hey, it's what they do) and miss the opportunity to solidify Java as the dominant language.
If we're lucky, we get a full C# stack by 2020, ending this era of language-war nonsense.
I don't care who wins it, as long as we unify the stack in the progress.

I've already generated a secret code on this contest entry, *BUT* I've not got an Amazon gift card. Should I re-generate the code again to receive it ?

Hi Arthur, you've certainly won it, but all prizes will be distributed at the end of the contest.

Thanks a lot for your reply and clarification.

If you crossed cats with nocturnal birds of prey would you get Meowls?

So cute. Do you think it'd work with a 20 year old blonde babysitter as well?

I'm sure it does. The problem is that they will not settle for simple kittie snacks. The sort of things they will do anything for cost a tiny bit more. So, if you are rich enough, you can keep an entire army of them happy.

I have ours trained to stand, then sit still on the arm of a particular chair for his treats.
This means I can stroke him all over, including his belly, and check for lumps, bites, ticks, fleas, and so on without him getting at all upset or bitey.
Bill The Cat I had half trained to play "fetch" - I'd throw it, he'd grab it, and return it to me. But only once per game. After that it was dull and he wandered off: "If you wanted the damn thing, why did you throw it away? Fetch it yourself!"

We all know that they can't be trained.
Still, cats are the last hope for our national teams[^].

It's not so bad. Entire civilisation were built upon the tireless work of cats. The Egyptians were no idiots. Do you think they could have built pyramids without the help of cats?
Rodents come for your stores of crops, cats come for the rodents and in the end you have enough of the crops left to feed a lot of (healthier) workers.

I frequently have a cat assistant when I make the bed: changing the duvet cover is always an ... exciting ... time. I can't help but think that the pyramids were only built that shape so the damn cats couldn't push everything off the top.
