AspNet Core: Appsettings from environment variables gotcha

Changes to environment variables are not refreshed until you restart the Visual Studio. This can be frustrating if you make some change and expect it to reflect in the application.
This is not new to AspNet core but rather a generic Visual Studio (or any Windows Process for that matter) behavior but it is more visible in the AspNet core because Environment Variables configuration is initialized by default and it is easy to forget the gotcha of restarting. Re-running the application does not help.

Actions lift property should match the RxJs profile

There is a breaking change in TypeScript version 2.4.1+ and it breaks the hosted VSTS projects if you have not specifically specified typescript version in the package.json file.

Fix the typescript version to 2.4.0 to fix this.

- "typescript": "^2.2.1"
+ "typescript": "2.4.0"
