That's strange, the form factor is the worst part for me.

There is no comfortable position to use an iPad in. In bed you're craning your head over, or propping it on your raised thighs. The keyboard cases are flimsy or super heavy.

I love the user interface on the iPad, it looks the best of iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But a MacBook is so much more ergonomic than an iPad.. :(

The Brydge Pro+ has been designed to bring a better experience to the iPad Pro. We've created hardware that maximizes the current functionality within iPadOS, and as accessibility features evolve and improve, the user experience will become more intuitive.

Awesome videos, thank you for linking.

James should find a better host for his blog, the loading time is abysmal. Presumably because of the comments section. (Which is actually interesting!)

Going back to our message-sending example, how might we use these concepts to ensure consistency? In this case, we might break the job into two pieces, with the first one sending the message and enqueuing the second one, and the second one writing to the database. In that scenario, we can retry either job as many times as we want—if the message-sending provider is down, or the internal accounting database is down, we’ll appropriately retry until we succeed!

This still isn't any better than the initial example. It could still crash between sending the message and enqueueing the second job. So it may still send out the same message twice.

Does anyone know why lambda is taking off, compared to heroku style PaaS?

Heroku style still removes the burden of managing servers ("serverless"), but doesn't lock you in as much. You could easily move your own server process to a different provider.

Is it just because Amazon doesn't offer anything similar to heroku?

Likely with 'CloudKit End to End Encryption', see page 57 here: https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf

CloudKit end-to-end encryption

Apple Pay Cash, User keywords, Siri Intelligence, and Hey Siri use CloudKit end-to-end encryption with a CloudKit service key protected by iCloud Keychain syncing. For these CloudKit containers, the key hierarchy is rooted in iCloud Keychain and therefore shares the security characteristics of iCloud Keychain—the keys are available only on the user’s trusted devices, and not to Apple or any third party. If access to iCloud Keychain data is lost (see “Escrow security” section later in paper), the data in CloudKit is reset, and if data is available from the trusted local device it is re-uploaded to CloudKit.

One bad support rep interaction doesn't sink the security model of the company.

If they were lying in their documentation, or the software itself, that would be a different story.

Just had a quick look to see the general flow.

Only looked at the read path, which is roughly:

* filesystem receives read

* blocks on a semaphore (https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs/blob/master/chunk.c#L141)

* network thread wakes up semaphore when ICMP reply containing data is received

* filesystem thread copies data into new buffer to return from syscall

* filesystem relinquishes chunk back to network thread, which wakes up, sends it back to be echoed on the network via ICMP, and frees the in-memory buffer (https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs/blob/master/chunk.c#L107)

How silly :)
