    All's I gotta say is, Rere forums on my tablet are 10000% better.

    RIP Jerry Doyle aka Michael Garibaldi of Babylon 5

    No kidding. The cast of B5 have been cursed. That said, Babylon 5 is probably my favorite sci-fi series of all time. What sucks is that I try my best to get friends to watch it, but they can never get out of season 1 before giving up.

    Uh, was Molly trying to commit suicide? Not sure what she was taking but a couple mouthful of pills can't be good.

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    I saw this last night and thought it sucked ass. I went into it not knowing the story, but was hoping it would have some reference to a TOS story or character like the second movie did. But nope, just some random bad buy. I find it hilarious that the captain of the Franklin found...

    Yeah, probably a mixture of Bootstrap and jQuery UI. There's the mandate that our app have the "look and feel" of a desktop application. So no huge icons and fonts, nor do we want that flat styling that's prevalent in contemporary CSS frameworks. UIKit is the closest thing I've found so...

    Does anyone know of a CSS framework that has styling similar to jQuery UI? That is, it more closely resembles a desktop application style rather than the largish buttons and fonts that have become popular during the mobile era.

    So I re-worded my Google search and actually found one solution atUsing Typewriter to Strongly-Type Your Client-Side Models and Services - Kamranicus. Interestingly, Typescript eases this pain with it's interfaces (which I totally forgot about). It still involves updating the Typescript...

    See, that's what my point is: there is now extra burden to make sure both the client and server code are in sync. That is why I'm advocating that we keep it all server-side. We, forourproduct, don't really gain anything by investing heavily into a client-side framework. It would be...

    The client has no access to the DTO object. The DTO is being serialized into JSON which is transmitted to the client.

    Of course, but take for instance this piece of server-side code that takes a DTO and returns a JSON string to the client: Somewhere in your client Javascript you'll be referencing an ".AuthorName". If someone changes "AuthorName" on the server to "AuthorFirstName" or whatever, then you'll need...

    Angular 1 is, but 2 is fresh off the presses. I have no doubt it's an amazing framework, but the problem I have with us going with is it that's so new that there hasn't been time for the community to run it through it's paces. Nor enough time for best practices to form, techniques discovered...

    Apparently they researched all the popular client-side frameworks, including React, and decided on Angular2. It seems like they placed a HUGE amount of weight on the support of web components. Although from what I've read, web component technology hasn't really been finalized and, hell, Safari...

    Wait, what? No, Angular2just went to RC1, I believe. ASP.NETCorejust released RC2 but with significant breaking changes between RC1. I totally agree that it's a sound architecture. But is it the right architecture forus? I'm not so sure, given our complete unfamiliarity with the technologies...

    I work for a company whose bread-and-butter product is a Silverlight app. For obvious reasons we've been researching which technologies to use to re-write it from Silverlight+WCF to some standard web technology. Actually, this has been tasked to another team who has spent the better part of a...

    The Flash

    Enjoyed the season for the most part, but really started to drag on towards the end. Damn it, they should've had the real Jay Garrick actually be Barry Allen from the 1990 series. That shit would've been cool. Same outfit and everything would've been a sweet nod to the original show. Oh well.

    On an unrelated note, I just converted one of my web apps used by the operations peeps to KnockoutJS and Typescript. Originally it was using some really ugly jQuery stuff and I wanted to clean it up. I must say, what they've done with Typescript is pretty damn cool. It feels like I'm...

    Actually, Webstorm is pretty damn good for Node / Javascript web app development. Lots of support for various frameworks plus a ton of useful plugins.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I disagree. Well, from a visuals stand point I think the show still looks great. Totally unlike TOS where, when I was watching the reruns back in the early to mid 80s, the special effects, displays, analog controls, etc. all looked extremely dated. However, TNG tech-wise still looks...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    TOS : Undiscovered Country came out in 1991 during TNG run. Although no reason to begin TNG then switch to Undiscovered Country unless you want to watch everything literally in chronological order.

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I'm late to the party, but just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed Civil War. Fun, fun, movie. Fantastic action. Loved it. However, Spider-Man is the only bit I didn't exactly care for. I think the kid did a great job, don't get me wrong, but I wish they could've cast someone slightly...

    They could do a better job of showing this open portal. It was my understanding that Cisco opened the portal temporarily to get Zoom, but maybe i wasn't paying attention.

    Wow, that was a first. 5 days in and someone goes psycho. Forced by the crew to tap out. And he seemed like a really nice dude too. I guess it's true - it's always the ones you least suspect.
