The only (tiny) issue I've had with Tailscale on Kobo has been that the tailscale daemon prevents me from using the Kobo in Mass Storage Mode while it's active, so I have to disable/quit KOReader to be able to plug it in again, which is admittedly not frequently warranted anyways.

OTOH, koreader on the Scribe post jailbreak is easily the best large format PDF reading experience I've ever had.

Code, by Charles Petzold. It came to me at exactly the right time, and broke through the biggest conceptual barrier I’d had until that point; how do you actually go from logic gates to general purpose computing? Having Petzold walk you up the ladder of abstraction, never missing a link, really got me over the hump of treating all that complexity as a black box. On a meta level it gave me confidence to go approach apparently impossible things with an open mind and dig deep enough that you see how the “magic” works.

The plane isn’t perfectly rigid, so it would only be able to impart as much energy to the structure as contained in the part of the plane that gets sheared off while colliding with the containment building.

No, of course, I'd just previously assumed it was the sort of thing only a couple thousand dollars worth of. You might also want to link to the section on In-Body Stabilization instead, since that's what I was specifically calling out here. iPhones have had lens OIS for a while now, unless I'm mistaken.

Agreed that love of the craft seems like the general tone of their corporate culture as a whole, so that makes perfect sense too.

Hasn't it always been the case that the Pro Max has a better camera package?

The optical stabilization by moving the sensor looks pretty incredible, it's kind of nuts that it's even possible to do that.

Wait, so it's still Lightning but they include a USB-C to Lightning adaptor?

Could this be because Stripe has to sell, essentially, to developers, not executives, unlike most B2B products? Developers love slick product pages as much as the next guy, but none of that matters if sales are made over golf sessions with executives.

Wirth's Law, applied to networks? Ad-filled javascript bundles will expand to take up as much bandwidth as you give them

Presumably his transition to Apple Fellow also comes with fewer public facing responsibilities?

Is 5G rollout in the US really comprehensive enough at this point to deliver on any of the promises they're making about it at this event?

[Edit: found this benchmark from a month ago: https://www.tomsguide.com/features/5g-vs-4g] basically looks like Verizon delivers on the promised speeds, but it still isn't clear to me what the spatial distribution of the higher speeds looks like.

Is data on ownership of rental stock available to the general public? Curious about what percentage of landlords are individuals vs. larger companies owning multiple properties/units.
