Sounds to me like this is a workaround so that Google can maintain control over who gets to release apps now that they can't do it by locking the apps behind Google Play. I wouldn't be surprised if being verified also includes some kind of fee.

Leclair also faces eight charges from the incident, ranging from dangerous driving, possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, failure to comply with a demand for a breath sample, and flight from a peace officer.

Evel Knievel movies. Although I did really like the series.

Canada has a lot to offer and to gain from being part of the Eurostack initiative.

I think The Conversation just wrapped news about Eurostack in Canada wrapping paper to get views.

Canada can't be a part of Eurostack; its goal is bring everything (tech) in-house. Aside investing capital so Eurostack can hit its lofty 300 billion euro goal in 10 years, I dont see what Canada can offer or gain from this. If the "gain" is that we stop Canadian dependence on US tech, we'd just be swapping one overlord for another.

Yes, of course we could reduce our dependence on US tech, but Canada should be stealing this page from Europe's playbook and making their own ~~Euro~~ Canstack

Well, I hope they have insurance.

Thanks, I'll see myself out.

According to the alleged recipients themselves,

I don't see these people, especially after the context in the video, as reliable sources. I remain skeptical about these calls. Don't get me wrong, PP sucks, but Rachel should have done a little more "fact-checking"

Do you think Carney will allow Germany to trade theirs for draft picks later?

Yeah, unfortunately that stuff is almost impossible to estimate. Inform your client that fixing the build will be a game of whack-a-mole where you'll fix one thing and 5 new errors will show up. I would give yourself lots of time since you've never worked on Maui (? You didn't say that in your post but if you've never heard of xamarin, i'll assume maui is new).

I would break your work down into two milestones: a) compile and run, b) fix all the busted views. It should come to no surprise that a) will be hard to estimate so give yourself lots of time, and b) will be easier to estimate because you'll be able to review each View and determine what kind of fixes you need to make.

Good luck

Yes. The transition from Xamarin to Maui has been similar to transition from .net framework to .net core.

A few things you will run into:

  • namespaces have changed
  • certain things will be deprecated but still currently work (ie FillAndExpand)
  • platform specific setup has changed (you'll need to convert to the new way, but code will likely remain the same)
  • upgrade your nuget packages to the Maui equivalents (the ones we used had Maui versions so we didn't have to change any of them)
  • certain ways of doing things have change slightly, like how to run things on the main UI thread (you'll see warnings)
  • your xaml code will remain mostly unchanged but your layout may need to be fixed (especially if your dependencies changed their interfaces)

That's all I can think of right now. There's no easy way to do it and it's going to suck. Focus on getting it to build with all your dependencies upgraded and then go from there.

You will speak the version that you learned. You will mostly notice regional differences in the idioms and synonyms of the words you know might be used more commonly in one region vs the other.

For example, in London you might hear people use boot instead of trunk.

But the majority of the words will be the same regardless of region.

That means one of the options could be Trump's resignation. Right? Right?

Bonne fête des franco-ontariennes et franco-ontariens!

L’origine de cette journée remonte au 25 septembre 1975, date à laquelle le drapeau franco-ontarien a été levé pour la première fois à l’Université de Sudbury. Conçu par Gaétan Gervais et Michel Dupuis, ce drapeau est rapidement devenu un puissant symbole d’identité pour les Franco-Ontariens. Ses couleurs et ses symboles racontent l’histoire et l’environnement de cette communauté : le vert représente les forêts d’été du Nord de l’Ontario, tandis que le blanc évoque les hivers enneigés. La fleur de lys rappelle les racines françaises, et le trille blanc, fleur emblématique de l’Ontario, souligne l’appartenance à cette province.

 

Canada’s S-210 is part of a wave of proposals worldwide seeking to gate access to sexual content online. Many of the proposals have similar flaws. Canada’s S-210 is up there with the worst. Both Australia and France have paused the rollout of age verification systems, because both countries found that these systems could not sufficiently protect individuals’ data or address the issues of online harms alone. Canada should take note of these concerns.

 

Of course they would, what a crapshoot.
