A video showing those steps, for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX9CGRZwD-w

It's probably not 100% identical to TSMC's process.

I was surprised at how similar Trilium looks to Obsidian when it was suggested in a thread somewhere: https://triliumnotes.org/

It's open source and as far as I can tell uses a database.

I didn't really get it until I Airdropped a shipping label PDF to the guy at the UPS store to print from his phone, which was already set up for the label printer.

File transfer! What will they think of next?

File transfer that just works.

My mum can use airdrop. She sends us things. She doesn't need to install anything or configure things. She just uses the first-party UI.

It's the same with Airpods. Bluetooth headphones? Yeah, you can buy some for $20, who needs Apple ones? Apparently everyone. Turns out providing great noise cancellation and bluetooth that just works means the product is appealing to general consumers.

File transfer worked well on Nokia devices and was pretty stable. What was not, is bluetooth connections with audio devices. This is a solved problem now and my Xiaomi earpods connection is pretty stable. I remember having more issues with the Airpods.

File transfer over SSH also just works. You can even mount it, so you can work directly on the remote version without any program support. It was deliberately killed by computing-device-as-a-service vendors.

A good rule can be a bad heuristic. In my experience this one misleads more often than it informs.

Good luck getting any two people to agree on a sharp line between programming language and scripting language. Perl seems to swap sides depending on the year people are arguing about it.

In my experience those can't discern what's what are usually the ones who mainly did a bit of dabbling in either.

Assuming you've done more than dabbling, what's specifically the difference to you then?

This reminds me of a Reaper changelog: lots of small quality of life changes each for a small percentage of users that add up to an overall massive improvement. It's not as splashy as huge feature releases but ultimately leads to better software.

This though has huge feature releases, biggest one seem to be a complete overhaul of the video editor, among others. Just so people don't get the impression that your comment is actually about the Blender 5.0 release :)

Reaper did sneak in a whole notation editor once inside a massive list of changes. Normally a $300 addon for DAWs.

One day they will build AI out of radioactive source material directly and skip the reactor. Maybe.

The new similar sound search in Ableton Live is handy. It's getting stem separation soon and I expect to get some use out of it.

It sounds like they're doing their own version of the experimental build thing that's long been popular in the Blender community. That's a good thing.

The classic clipboard and high-vis hack.
