1. tbt stands for "Truth Be Told" but may be used in a "so now you know" way OR this could also be throwback Thursday
2. [routerLink]="['/app','whatever','13']" would be a template-side example of handing an id on in a route (the 13) in Angular 4
3. tape backups were an old way to backup hard drives
4. Ctrl-Shift-R is for find and replace in WebStorm 2017.1.2
5. Viewpoint doesn't have primary keys at its database tables. Sometimes you'll see KeyID as a bigint column type, but these are not consistently present. KeyID is used like a unique identifier when it does show up.
6. PWAs are the new RIAs. Progressive Web Apps made in the likes of Angular 2 are utilizing JavaScript for an experience beyond HTML ABCs. This was the same promise of Flash and Sliverlight wasn't it?
7. OKRS stands for Objects and Key Results. Gtmhub is a tool for OKRS.
8. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 are examples of graphics cards for PCs.
9. CompuServe was an ISP.
10. Google Home and Amazon Echo are voice controlled devices. You can do things like ask them to play music for you and you can break into them and program your own stuff. Tie them into Philips Hue Smart Lighting and get them to dim the lights in your home, etc.
11. In vinyl LP the LP stands for long playing. CD stands for Compact Disc. LaserDisc or LD is the forerunner of the CD and later the CD-ROM, ROM being read-only memory and the format allowing for people to burn digital data files onto CDs. RAM stands for random-access memory while we are at this. I strayed from vinyl, huh? We all do.
12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lhZ6w1fkww is an example of a YouTube Radio station.
13. PTO is paid time off.
14. UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is, I think, the technical term for a drone. This better name kinda speaks to what drones are.
15. Supercell is the mobile gaming company that does Clash of Clans. Zygna is the mobile gaming company with the founder (Mark Pincus) who asked Barack Obama to pardon Edward Snowden to his face.
16. inFlow is some form of inventory software
17. NSB could stand for NServiceBus.
18. Disney is to pull itself off of Netflix and start its own streaming service.
19. uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger deal with popups at Google Chrome.
20. Libby, by OverDrive lets you hear audio books and if you have an account at your local library it is now possible that the library will let you access all of its eBooks across Libby.
21. Newegg sells stuff online, computer gunk and the like.
22. https://www.ng-book.com/2/ has "ng-book 2" which is an online book that will teach you to use Angular 4. I believe this thing just exists digitally and is always kept alive and growing by way of updates. I think "living book" might be the term for this sort of thing.
23. BaconReader is a client for Reddit for your phone.
24. Pornhub apparently both revolutionized and destroyed the pornographic industry by offering a torrent approach.
25. When you have so many changes in SourceTree that the app hangs when you try to remove them all, instead stash the changes and delete the stash afterwards.
26. Type "Git Bash" at start in Windows 10 to open a shell for SourceTree manipulations.
27. Firmware is software in read-only memory that cannot be tossed away or altered. It is software to make the hardware it sits in work.
28. .trim() in JavaScript gets rid of leading whitespace and not just trailing whitespace.
29. The only time I have gotten to do any work that tangentially relates to IBM was at Network Logistic, Inc. IBM reached out to NLI to have some audio clips cleaned up for a presentation and I did the work. I believe Cool Edit Pro was the software I used. I think this tool became Adobe Audition.
30. https://www.hackthissite.org/ has little games to play to learn hacking.
31. versiony is an npm packet for versioning Angular2 apps.
32. Alpha channels on TIF/TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) images with the .tif extension allowed one to save a piece of metadata with the file that could then be resurfaced to make a selection or do something else in Photoshop. Typically I would use this trick to save a shape for a selection in Photoshop. I cannot remember why. If you need workspace notes, if you will, in the midst of a file and you cannot just save a .psd for whatever reason then things get tricky and you have to resort to hacks like this. .png files (Portable Network Graphic) have comparable gunk going on with them allowing you to have layers in Fireworks, etc.
33. Only spending within the first tenth of your credit card limit on your credit card is supposedly healthier for maintaining credit than going over that.
34. I am hearing that Best Buy has ridiculously good warranties to such an extreme that you may buy a laptop, pay five hundred dollars for a warranty for two years, break your own laptop at the twenty-three month mark, and then just go back to Best Buy and get either a new laptop or your money back. If you run into a manager who gives you grief, just go to another store or come back later. You most likely will just get a kid to help you and not a real adult and the kid won't care. The reason this loophole is open for the moment is just because most people don't know to exploit it. It gets better. Whenever you get a replacement for a warranty, you also reset the warranty so you have another two years. You can keep it alive forever, and a missing cord may be all the excuse you need to get that guy right out of high school to go "yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever" and push through your warranty abuse to fulfillment.
35. Rebates as a concept are a funny sort of discount. Basically you will make a purchase and be given a coupon to get some of your money back later. The parties giving the rebates hope you'll just forget about it or lose your receipt or something.
36. http://beta.speedtest.net/ is a tool for gauging network speed.
37. Populated could be a term used instead of hydrated.
38. QuickBooks is accounting software.
39. Microsoft BizSpark is a program to vaguely help out startups in the software space. I assume that being a part of this is akin to what it meant to be a Microsoft Gold Partner ten years ago.
40. toastr is a toaster (https://github.com/CodeSeven/toastr)
41. LibreVR / Revive is a tool that lets you run Oculus Rift games on the HTC Vive.
42. The PalmPilot was a handheld device from the late 1990s. You tapped the screen with a stylus.
43. Xtras for Macromedia Director looped in additional, third-party goodies for functionality.
44. ApiController is not a first class citizen in .NET Core's MVC (a generally available fundamental feature, a cornerstone) as a Controller can be either what a Controller or an ApiController could be in MVC5 or a mix of the two, but it is a common pattern to make Controllers inherit from an ApiController with some common concerns in it. This introduction of a middleman inheritance trick is like the BaseController thing that we have all used in the prior five versions of MVC.
45. A footgun is a feature that results in you shooting yourself in the foot when you bolt it on to something that wasn't sick yet to begin with.
