After putting some money on PredictIt (like Intrade, but for US customers with crappier fees) to gambooool on the election, I thought it would be a good situation to put my ****ty Javascript knowledge to use and learn some Angular basics in the process:
Server updates from PredictIt once a minute and pushes updates to clients. While I don't see auto-trading in the future, there are some fun directions I can take this in terms of identifying movement/setting price alerts/etc.
Related: Visual Studio is surprisingly awesome for JS development.

Are you talking about this?
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd
It's a 13" laptop with an i5, 8G memory, 128 G SSD, and preloaded with Ubuntu. I feel like you can do way better for the price if you buy a different laptop and install your own Linux. And $200 more you only get a touch display?
caveat: my opinion may be shaded because I don't like Dell and Ubuntu.

Angular question for ChrisV or anyone else who knows:
In parentheses after each price, I'm trying to display the change in price since the page was loaded. That works and is all good, but I'm having trouble figuring out The Right Way to do this conditionally - i.e. if there has not been a change, don't put any text there at all.
The reason the "Last" column is on two lines and making the whole thing ugly at the moment is that I'm trying to set up that column to use a directive (so I don't have to repeat logic for conditionally showing/hiding everywhere), which may or may not be The Right Way of doing this.
The directive is using this template:
The comparison would obv be != to do what I want, but for testing purposes the markets aren't moving that often atm. I use it in the HTML here:
Directive definition:
I get the feeling that the directive is evaluated/expanded/whatever after the page is loaded or something, which is why it doesn't fit nicely into the table upon its enabling like every other thing in the world does. So, questions:
a.) is a directive what I want here? I guess I could also make another controller, but that seems verbose for what I feel like I should be able to write as a compact reusable component
b.) if a directive IS what I want, what's missing to make this play nice with my tables?

<div ng-if="value == 0">
({{value}})
</div>
Code:
<td>{{contract.last}}c <contract-change value="contractCtrl.changed('last')" /></td>
Code:
function ContractDirective() {
var ret = {};
ret.restrict = 'E';
ret.templateUrl = 'changeComponent.html';
ret.scope = {
value: '<'
};
return ret;
}

It worked!
Thanks but lmao I think suzzer's link scarred me for life on bootstrap.
Currently my unit tests are losing one cent of real money by buying a share of TRUMP at 72 cents and selling it for 71 cents.

there aren't many ways to display what amounts to maybe a paragraph of text and a short bulleted list so I don't get what the complaint is. I've seen lots of "creative" designs from people who clearly work in print design and have no idea how css works, and while they look nice as a picture they fall apart when forced into a responsive web design.
