  1. CW: Fast-track studio project fails, morphs into housing development

    Who remembers the Silverlight Film studio planned for Wanaka? It was a massive project offering ten sound stages, workshops, production offices, a film school, screening theatres, post-production facilities, back lots replicating international film locations (New York, Venice, European Cities etc), a lake, a medieval village, a banquet hall, a lake village and a replica of New York's Central Park.

    The project received fast-track approval in December 2021.

    I don't know why the Silverlight project failed, but it always seemed far too ambitious in scale. Now developers propose to transform the site with 240 visitor accommodation units, workers’ accommodation, two 18-hole golf courses, a driving range, a hospitality precinct and a hotel.

    Because the world doesn't have enough golf courses.

  2. Nothing better to honor the waxing Moon than hear the amazing combo Natalia Lafourcade + the Hermanos Gutiérrez perfirming Luna Cresciente

  3. It's funny how people try to defend #Mozilla caving in to #DRM / #EME in 2014 because it will somehow push all users to #Chrome for the #Netflix when you consider the fact that Netflix only ended support for #Silverlight and thus required EME in September fucking 2023

    And did
    #Firefox's "market share" in 2023 increase in comparison to 2014? Nope

  4. The "proposed" Silverlight film studios in Wanaka always seemed like a grandiose idea reliant on government funding.

    Now the project is dead.

    Despite the offer of $4.5m from the Labour government, the people involved couldn't even raise funds for the land involved, let alone build $280m worth of studios and associated buildings.

    The land now seems destined for a golf course & houses, rushed through under the fast-track legislation.

  5. They are expensive, but oh they work so well! That is why I am sticking with SIlverlight when it comes to socks. I'll wear one pair probably for the duration of the trip and keep a 2nd pair in the pack for in case. They hardly smell, but given the heat on the trail, I should be able to rinse out a pair and they'll soon be dry. They come in R-L pairs identified by the words Venture & Out

  6. The government has pulled the $4.5 million of support Labour had offered the mega film studio project in Wanaka.

    Honestly, if the proposed studio will be as successful as the promoters suggest, it should be self-funding.

  8. OpenSilver 2.0 is out. If you invested in and feel stuck, your options these days are better. Yes, you could rewrite to use or the , and maybe you can just keep your codebase with

  9. Idag uppdaterar jag min konsultprofil inför kommande uppdrag och när jag går längre tillbaka i tiden hittar jag saker som jag glömt bort, förvånar mig och får mig att bara skaka på huvudet.

    T ex 2016 gjorde jag något med en produkt som hette #Silverlight. Kommer ni ihåg den?

  10. This article on the zombie of Silverlight had me flashing back to the end of the 2000s, before HTML5 was a thing, when I was really concerned that MS was about to succeed in quashing the web once and for all for dynamic content/single page app type network apps. Like C# is to Java, Silverlight was Java Applets (and Flash) done right. There was no real alternative available. With Silverlight only having first class support on Windows with close second class support on OSX it seemed clear that all other desktops would be locked out. The open source Moonlight project, based on Mono, was always painfully behind. As much as I hate JavaScript I'm glad that the community got HTML/CSS and JavaScript polished up to not match what you could do with Silverlight but exceed it. Anyway, the spirit of Silverlight has been picked up by the community thanks to technologies like WASM and Blazor. Interesting read but not something I'd look to jump to personally. #microsoft #silverlight #moonlight #JavaScript #blazor #xaml

  11. 標準化された #ActivityPub :activitypub: があるのにわざわざ別の自前のプロトコルで分散型 SNS やるって、 #HTML5 と言われてたものが整備されつつあった時に #Flash に対抗して #Silverlight 出す、みたいなことをになっちゃうんじゃないの?って、Web おじさんな自分はつい思ってしまう :tony_smirking:

  12. Stripped an entire usercontrol of all twoway binding. Replaced with PropertyChangedCallback. Now it works. #Death2Binding #Silverlight

  13. The truth about binding: MMVMVMV+c = Model - Model of ViewModel - ViewModel - View & some extra connector code. #SilverLight

  14. AHH --- just reminded - Sunday Night Football starts TODAY - watch in #silverlight -- thanks @seesharp!

  15. Can't bind a brush's ScaleY transform property in #Silverlight?!? Ugh, that worked in WPF.

  16. Very cool - RT @rickbarraza New tutorial for Advanced Render Techniques in #Silverlight now live: http://bit.ly/Z2Rw6 (w/ code this time! :)
