Anecdotal, but for what it's worth, only two of my Apple charging cables have broken since 2007. I always hear about people having issues with them, so maybe I've been lucky with all of mine, or maybe I just don't treat them like I expect them to be indestructible.
Yepp, I generally will try for the exit row or the first row in a section (sacrificing no under seat storage), but they tend to be the first seats booked. Since I'm usually traveling with multiple other people and we prefer sitting together, it makes it pretty difficult to reliably select those seats with extra leg room. I haven't seen any airlines that charge "+$25 for the extra leg room" on 12+ hour international flights, but if they exist I'd love to know which ones they are!
Anecdotal, but I'm 193cm, take a few 12+ hour flights per year, and have no problem not reclining. For what it's worth, I feel like I've experienced people on my shorter, domestic flights reclining their seats more often than on my longer, international flights.
I'm 6'4" with a lot of my height in my legs. Sitting comfortably (not slouching, mind you), my knees already barely rub against the seat in front of me. As soon as that seat is reclined, my knees get crushed and I have to either sit up even straighter or twist to the side, neither of which are comfortable. Or, I have to pay to be in a higher fare class with more space.

Apple Maps has had "Look Around" (their implementation of Street View) for a while now.
I have over 2,000 places saved in Guides in the Apple Maps app. Not sure what that 300 place limit is referring to, but I haven't had any issues.

Hello! I'm Lewis Godowski, a creatively-driven lead engineer with over a decade of experience across the Apple ecosystem. Passionate about the little details of good design and a strong advocate for the human-centered design process.
Most recently, I was brought onto a new strategic business unit build to turnaround, manage, and lead an underperforming team of ~10 iOS engineers at a top 3 global motorcycle manufacturer. I had two main responsibilities I needed to balance: doing some heavy lifting as an individual contributor, and more importantly people management (upwards with product stakeholders, laterally with other pods and work streams, and downwards with my team). I identified and reduced inefficiencies in our scrum sprint cycle rituals, and established a standard architecture, code style guide, and best practices document for the client's codebase, resulting in a 28% increase in velocity and allowing us to deliver on schedule for an in-person launch event with 150+ dealerships.
Unfortunately, my current role has been transforming more and more into a business/digital consultant, which means a lot of my time is spent working on slide decks and high-level architectures that never see the light of day. It's bumming me out and taking me away from what I really enjoy: writing code, learning new skills, and wearing multiple hats to solve problems.
Ideally, I'm looking for an iOS (or Vapor, a server-side Swift framework) role as either manager or IC that lets me really flex my Swift and iOS expertise.

Hello! I'm Lewis Godowski, a software engineer with ~10 years of experience across iOS and backend. I find joy in dogs, desserts, and the small details of good design. I am a strong advocate for end users and their experience with a product.
Most recently, I was brought onto a new strategic business unit build to turnaround, manage, and lead an underperforming team of ~10 iOS engineers at a top 10 global motorcycle manufacturer. I had two main responsibilities I needed to balance: people management (upwards with product stakeholders, laterally with other pods and work streams, and downwards with my team) and doing some heavy lifting as an individual contributor. I created structure and improved hygiene in the team, codebase, and sprint/scrum life cycle, which stabilized our velocity and allowed us to find our rhythm and deliver on schedule.

Anecdata, but a few weeks ago I drove from LA to SF in my 2018 Model 3 (long range, single motor). It has a 75 kWh battery pack, my drive was 417 miles, and I drove 70 mph for probably 90-95% of the trip. I used a total of 95 kWh, which equates to ~329 miles on a full charge (100-0%). My efficiency was 226 Wh/mi.
There are absolutely other times when I'll get substantially less range, but it's understandably when I'm driving faster of more aggressive, or it's colder outside, or it's primarily uphill, or there's a strong headwind, etc.
There are a lot of different factors that can affect a car's range (regardless if it's an EV or ICE), and it seems like Tesla has decided to show the EPA range on the dashboard because there's no way they could magically know where you're driving if it's not entered in the navigation system. Once you start navigation however, it's able to factor in all these externalities and give a very accurate estimate. On the first leg of the above trip, I arrived to charge within 3% of Tesla's estimate.
in every EV range comparison I’ve ever seen, teslas are the ones that can’t meet their claimed range by a fair margin. Other brands are almost always close to accurate or in some cases do noticeably better than claimed.
What's your source? Cause I don't think that's true... [1][2]
Is remote in other GMT+9 timezones ok?
For me, it's hard to find anyone else that matches Tesla on price, range, and performance. It seems like with the other EVs you get to pick two of those.
Probably rarely a wise choice
I think you'd be surprised! There are some big names using it at scale[1].
Sounds like a great use for SharePlay! (:
Because articles with "Tesla" in the title get more clicks.
Heads up, clicking the iPhone on your website opens an unrelated Themify YouTube video.
Doesn't really help the situation, but it's not clear who rebadged the car. It could have been the first owner, or the second owner, or Tesla.
Web push notifications will be available (in some capacity) in iOS 16 this fall. But that's beside the point.
I mean, I pay full attention while the car is on autopilot, keep both hands on the wheel, and my foot over the pedals. Sure, that particular trip was pretty annoying, but my daily commute (~80 miles roundtrip) rarely, if ever, has any phantom braking occurrences, so I don't know that I would call it a "way of life".
Or press command+shift+5 click the "Options" button, and then the "Other Location..." option in the "Save to" menu, like it shows in the article.
I like driving, so I don't mind not using Autopilot as frequently as I have the opportunity to. And it's the most fun and best car I've driven.
But honestly I hesitate to recommend it. Not because it isn't a great car, because it is, but because I'm growing more skeptical of Tesla as a whole in the past year:
- extremely delayed timelines (Roadster, Semi, Cybertruck, etc)
- focus on some robot thing
- FSD vaporware/false promises
- Elon's general immaturity
- frequent price changes
- supply chain shortages
- etc
It all adds up and I can't help but wonder if Tesla's initial market advantage is waning. I'm not sure there's another competitor that's caught up to them, but it isn't as clear cut as it was just a couple years ago.
I believe they're still using radar in cars where the hardware exists (unless you have FSD, in which case it's using vision only).
Phantom braking is not exclusive to FSD, so the vast majority of people who experience phantom braking do not have a report button.
My understanding is that the driving logs are only sent to Tesla when you take your car in for service. In addition, I imagine not a lot of people use the bug report feature, so most of the phantom braking in the logs and footage aren't even identified/used.
2018 Model 3 with Enhanced Autopilot. I took a weekend trip from LA to Phoenix a few months back. I was in the left-most lane for a majority of the trip, and had ~10 phantom braking occurrences each way. It seemed to think the shadow of a car in the adjacent lane (where the shadow fell well into my lane) was something that needed to be avoided.
It also doesn't infrequently highlight a car in an adjacent lane (or even exiting the freeway) as the lead car and slam on the brakes.
I have follow distance set to 7 and it still slams the brakes way later than comfortable.
I work at a consulting firm with 20k people and get a lot of restaurant recommendations while traveling. I don't like any of the existing methods of managing these recommendations and associated data, so I'm building an app that makes it easier for me.
I envision the focus to be on the users writing the reviews/recommendations (rather than on a restaurant's star rating), where users and restaurants are suggested based on how well their own recommended and visited restaurants overlap with yours. In this way, you would be able to follow other users whose taste you trust.
We initially bought a cheaper Schwinn IC4, subscribed to the Peloton app ($12.99/month), and used our 7 year-old iPad to get nearly the same experience (minus the Leaderboard functionality and probably other things). Eventually we wondered why we were even spending $12.99/month on it, as my partner only had a few instructors that she liked, and neither of us could understand, or get behind, the "Peloton culture". We ultimately canceled and now just ride the bike without a class.
There is no way to create the UI visually in SwiftUI, only programmatically. I find SwiftUI substantially easier to write than Swift or Objective-C, and feel like it actually requires less use of Xcode's functionality than either of its predecessors.
Had something similar back in December from Los Angeles restaurant, Vespertine. We got the separate components for all the dishes and then heated and plated them ourselves. It was a great experience!
This is a different package than what we had, but should serve as an example of what to expect from Vespertine (https://www.exploretock.com/vespertine/experience/261739/men...)
