My neighbors bailed on their plant sale, put out a "free" sign, and I just got all these succulents! That table is ~3 feet in diameter.

I stopped by an Apple Store today to try the new iPad Pros. The screen is beautiful and the device felt incredibly light in my hands - until...

Until I tried one with the keyboard. Then the machine felt too heavy for me.

I don't currently use my keyboard that often and think if I get the 11" pro I would get the folio case, no keyboard, and I'd stick with the pencil I have.

My current is a 2018 11" iPad Pro

@dimsumthinking Be careful. The 2nd Gen Pencil is NOT compatible with the M4 Pro. Check compatibility.

@dimsumthinking The Pro w/kbd is still lighter than the previous Pro w/kbd. But, yes still a bit heavy. But what a nice kbd compared to the old one.

@dimsumthinking yup my 2nd gen doesn’t work with the new iPad :/ luckily I have a friend that wants it.

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@dimsumthinking yup. and amazingly thin

@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@dimsumthinking well I have posted about it ;) Mostly the fact that the Pro/Kbd combo are difficult to open since the kbd edge is now flush with the ipad and there is nothing to grab hold of. The old kbd had a plastic lip.

Happy National Notebook Day.

How many do you own? I’ve have hundreds, going back decades.

@Bishopjoey dito. I generally like the Tomoe. I never get much bleedthrough unless I use a broad or music nib, but i do get ghosting.

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@Bishopjoey Yup. I try not to use broad or stub nibs with darker inks on that paper.

🔥 New blog post!

“On compliance vs readability: Generating text colors with CSS”
https://lea.verou.me/blog/2024/contrast-color/

This has been in the making for over a month! 😮‍💨

It includes:
🔥 New Technique: How can we use widely supported CSS features to automatically pick a text color that is readable over an arbitrary background?
🔥 Original research: What lightness ranges correspond to what color contrast compliance & readability buckets? How are these affected by additional constraints (gamut, chroma, hue)?

@leaverou @mpospese I sense AI-involvement…

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@leaverou @mpospese Yes I did. The article has good input to an AI that could have validated or generated some examples. I didn’t say it wasn’t valid. Just that an AI was probably involveed. Prove me wrong.

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@leaverou @mpospese I have no ego. I’m an AI ;) Have a good day.

New m4 iPad / pencil pro will not accept settings for squeeze and double tap. Odd.

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@RonJeffries you need to enable assistive touch

@RonJeffries @mattgemmell posted something about it

In 2001, I went to Tromsø, Norway. Didn’t see the Northern Lights.

In 2006, I went to Iceland. Didn’t see the Northern Lights.

In February this year, I went to Iceland. Didn’t see the Northern Lights.

And last night, when they were visible from my neighbourhood, I slept through it.

Do the aurora hate me?

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@sdarlington Maybe you didn’t see them because you never opened your eyes…

I need to work on my worldbuilding. I feel my fantasy settings are less like Rivendell and more like Ankh Morpork. But I need to put more meat on the bones.

@Emmacox You can never have enough pork.
