Does this allow Microsoft to work around Apple app store restrictions on running interpreted code?

Nuance there is that the legitimacy in the form of line of succession has been governed by law too (and no doubt conquest historically) at least following the glorious revolution of 1688. It has jumped around.

No it doesn't. I am an atheist and I do not believe the King is ordained by any form of deity. I look past that and support the constitutional monarchy settlement on the grounds of tradition/culture, how it provides constitutional

Another side of this story: https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/17/thousands-condemn-extinction-... This feels like a partisan hatchet job. There is a balance. Freedom of protest does not give the right to perpetuall

1Password is E2E encrypted no with decryption/encryption happening only at the edge? If the cloud storage is compromised, that doesn't mean the attacker can read the passwords?

My understanding is that Maya wasn't a total rewrite, it bolted together parts of Power Animator and Wavefront together with a new architecture.

Thanks! As I thought. Long lived sticky foreground notifications tend to annoy folks from my experience. Have you seen complaints?

AFAIK Modern Android (>= 8.0) reserves the right to kill your app when running in the background unless there's a foreground toast bound (even then, can still be killed in low memory situations). How does this solution work around t

Is another low tech way simply print screening the redacted image + cropping? Naturally you will lose resolution if the OS/app is downsampling the image to render but could be good enough and a good hedge against the image format someh

Thanks for asking! I am not super optimistic in the short/medium term (5+ years) at least. There are clear structural headwinds which anyone would be foolish to deny. This doesn't mean the country is ending. The country will still

Another day, another anti UK/doomer post on HN. Folks have touched upon this already but a real issue is the chattering classes can simply not get over Brexit. Everything is seen through the prism of either supporting remain or leave.

Not sure. In the devolved administrations, Scotland in particular, my understanding is they locked down for longer with more restrictions and actually had higher death rates (other factors may be at play here to be fair) or very similar lev

The vitriol in the position. Possessing such a negative exaggerated view point is not healthy and doesn't help discourse. UK has challenges yes, but it has a lot of good to offer too. It reads like left-wing doomerism.

This is such a total hit piece with all the right bingo hot words and themes: Brexit, "Island mentality", "Not European", "Sun has set on Britannia", "Pirate roots" (?) to name a few. Total poisonous

What are you insinuating would have been the better approach here? It sound like you would have wanted harder lockdowns and/or pursue a zero Covid strategy?

In the Anglosphere, it feels that many of our institutions have been captured by activists. A small minority who push an agenda and are able to silence (consciously or subconsciously) mainstream thinking.

You are coming across here as a terrible elitist. Language is unnecessary. Referring to people as the "unwashed masses" and then a comparison to chimpanzees. In the context, this reads like de-humanization.

In perception polls on xenophobia across Europe, UK scores very well. Here is a report from the EU from 2019: https://fra.europa.eu/sites/default/files/fra_uploads/fra-20...

First I've heard of them. They come across as incredibly hostile and over the top. "Human rights are in peril, and so are British businesses". Tell that to the folks in Ukraine. This is utter nonsense. Perhaps this is a way t

I have noticed an unhealthy obsession and inability to move on. I speak from someone who would have voted to remain. Yes it wasn't perhaps my choice, but trying to relive the result repeatedly with the same vitriol anger isn't hea

What are you suggesting here? That the UK wants to unwind the Common Travel Agreement? The NI situation is very loaded, it doesn't helpful such a fragile situation with a "UK is bad" narrative. Ultimately, the goal is to try

Isn't this a larger issue with France's voting system? Isn't residency status more democratic than citzenship based requirements?

Do you mean Power Animator perhaps and not Maya? I believe Maya, Power Animator's successor, came later around ~1998.

Indeed. 35mm is actually a good archiving format if stored correctly; good for 100 years. No need to continually change tape formats every couple of years. I've heard for some of the 3 strip technicolor restorations, they scan the 3 in

Indeed. Kodak basically invented digital intermediate. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cineon They had an end-to-end (scanning, compositing, film out) 4K system back in the early 90s. They were able to crack the col

In the early 90s, Kodak created a ground breaking system which allowed for 2k/4k scanning/compositing and recording back to motion picture film. The recorder (Kodak Lightning) used lasers to expose the image on the film. This was

This looks like the interop libraries auto generated off the Office OLE Automation interfaces. SafeArrays should have existed back then. I imagine this was used instead for perceived developer friendliness vs forcing developers to box up an
