Welp, iCloud on all my devices (iPhone XS Max, iPad Pro, Mac mini) has started randomly not syncing some things.

Reminders and HomeKit scenes different across devices. Photos and notes are fine.

After signing out and back in, iPhone told me it hadn’t backed up in 4 weeks 🤔
The iPhone is now stuck on doing this backup, saying “2 hours remaining”, and it’s not moving at all (I have a fiber connection).

I have already tried signing out of iCloud and back in everywhere. Honestly not sure what to do except hope it’ll fix itself eventually 🙁
Deleted all my previous incomplete backups, now stuck like this after 90 minutes. Will keep checking later today. 🤔

Shortcuts 2.1 beta 2 is out! Some great changes in this one:

- New actions to create alarms and timers directly in the app
- New Measurement actions
- Better AirPlay integration via HomePod
- New controls to stop sharing a shortcut
With the new Clock actions, it is possible to build simple but effective Pomodoro-style timers in Shortcuts.

You can also create “goodnight” routines more easily by toggling specific alarms directly 👍
Here are the new sharing controls in Shortcuts 2.1 b2. Reopen an iCloud link you previously shared to get an option to delete the link and wipe data from iCloud.

I firmly believe Photoshop on iPad is just the first big example of a shift that will occur in the 3 years with more desktop apps coming to iPad Pro.

Subscriptions, USB-C, cloud files, and more powerful iOS multitasking are accelerating this transition.

macstories.net/news/adobe-unv…
i.e. If your files are always in a cloud, and if an app is the same client everywhere thanks to a subscription, and if you have an iPad with a Pencil/trackpad and powerful enough to output 4K to an external display, at which point do you just have a Mac in a different shell?
In other words, this would be the ideal scenario I've been building towards since I effectively stopped using a Mac in 2014.

I want an iPad Pro that can become "a Mac" when *I need it to be* while still being a tablet for everything else. And I believe it's going to happen.

Shall I eat these fancy hospital biscuits?

[science thread]
Important vote 🍪🍪🍪
The packet tells me that each biscuit has 300kJ = kilo joules
Or 72kcal = kilo calories, ie 72,000 calories

But the box says "72 calories per biscuit"

So what's that about?

A #special #warning for my folks w or w/o #disabilities who might be taking #Flexeril / #cyclobenzaprine

it says on the warning sheet that very few folks have had #depressive #sideeffects, and maybe I'm just a rarity.

but if i have to take that thing for 2x in a row
waaaugh!
It's small & #insidious.
It starts with "will I ever get better?" & it can escalate into, "Why do I try?" depending how long I am on it.

I only need it sporadically, but yeah.
Changed my world to know that was a possibility.
Now I can say after using it..."Is this thought real?"
For those who would suggest other methods, this one is the best one i have for now.
(In a few years, maybe something that works better will come along or they might know more about why #EhlersDanlos happens)

In the mean time I wanted you to know, in case this happens to you too.

This is an amazing series of interviews of successful professors by younger professors. There are all sorts of interesting tidbits and advice in here. Highly recommend all junior profs read this!
To highlight some of the interesting tidbits: (my paraphrasing) "You should fight like a dog. You have fought so hard to get here, don't give up now!"

"Its really an art to ask money for a squid!"

"Don't take on every student who comes your way"
On grant writing: "The motivation is the most important part. If they like your vision and get why you are excited, they will overlook many technical details"

I've heard this before, but its good to get it re-iterated
