Once upon a time print shops would only accept files in Quark Xpress format. Eventually, they came to accept InDesign documents too. They have licenses for the software and workflows and toolchains set up to integrate those files into their existing prepress and press systems.
LaTeX is purely for academic markup for postscript printing. VivaDesigner and its kind? Only niche and hobby layout and print.
That said, I only share in PDF now, so I use other software for the layout phases and don’t care that it isn’t portable to other shops.
I thought you couldn’t have foreign ownership in Dubai?
And I don’t get the pie chart… what’s 100% represent?
Or is this foreign ownership in a particular location, like the US?
Dual PIN is a great idea; I’d also love an emergency PIN that invalidates the token silently (so you can enter it under duress).
Anything faster would be a safety issue.
How else are they going to win the rail pod challenge?
A train is a collection of rolling railcars propelled by one or more locomotives. These are individual self-powered railcars.
So no, there’s no train here. Just monorail pods that will get congested as density increases.
The whole concept of a train is that all the cars move together and the only congestion is at the switching yards, where it can be optimized.
This isn’t helped by most websites reinventing themselves every couple of years so the old links 404 even though the content still exists.
Unfortunately, with the Belt and Road initiative, large parts of Africa already have well established Chinese police presence too.
It’s to enforce Chinese law abroad. Google “canada chinese police stations”.
I’ve used it to tweak a speech I was writing to make it more appropriate to my intended audience….
The company I work for has acquired a number of small companies over the years; the result has been a mixed bag. In one case, the original product and employees were dropped completely, only retaining the IP. In a number of other cases, the original teams and products were kept intact with cross-over between products plus a huge boost in funding and customers over the years. In most cases, the companies were absorbed into existing management structures and the employees and technologies deployed inside the existing product line, sometimes with a few things that didn’t match the company strategy sold off or spun off into their own company.
Personally, I consider all the acquisitions except the single case where everything was abandoned to be a success; in that case, the exec in charge of acquisition was made redundant when everything else shut down.
He sounds like a professional fall guy to me; who hired him? I bet THEY were the real ones to blame for what happened.
It happens in English too — just think about how many people never learned how to properly use paragraphs, quotations, hyphens, parentheses and footnotes.
It’s just the human condition to attempt to communicate in known blobs without thinking about what you’re actually trying to communicate and how it can be most effectively done with the tools at hand.
We’re all single hammer hominids at heart.
The big one for me is: how do we preserve online games? The ones with a server-side component?
Even bnetd had issues, although I think that time is over; but what about when we the public never had access to the game core in the first place?
At least they can observe the patterns….
Bless your heart.
Wow… 18 missions delivering 40,000 meals to a zone that’s been without resources for almost 6 months and has a population of 2 million and dropping.
Can you though? LS now operates in user mode, which means it can no longer block traffic sent to Apple via a kernel thread.
It’s all a bit pointless though, as a LOT of hardware now calls home as well, and it doesn’t matter what OS to run on top of it unless you’re running something like TempleOS. Vanilla Linux is not going to protect you by itself. And if you’re using a repository system for software updates, that’s going to be reporting your software too — and many web browsers also report the URLs you go to (or even consider going to) and what extensions you have loaded.
But that article points at a solution for macOS users: it’s the certificates that are being checked. Any non-bog-standard software I run is not notarized or signed, and it functions just fine and has nothing to send back to Apple’s servers. First time I run it I need to right click and select Open to run the app, and this bypasses the entire signer system.
This is most likely the culprit. On my work computer I have regular powershell scripts set by IT that run regularly to manage profile settings, push updates, etc.
But wait… didn’t China say the re-education camps were a hoax, that Muslims have the same rights as everyone else in China, and that any issues they’d been having had already been resolved?
