  • I have used Excel to make tags from a table before. Usually just for one off stuff and before I was very familiar with JavaScript.

    E.g. if you have a table of 100 urls you could use excel to easily turn them into a tags using the various text formulas like concat.

    It’s probably never the best tool for the job but sometimes I’ll do stuff in Excel just because I’m very familiar with it.

    To clarify I am not a programmer by trade lol

    Someone posted about Americans being able to drive for like 13 hours in Texas and still be in Texas. The punchline was that Europeans can’t comprehend it. Then a bunch of euro memes came out showing similar distances in Europe.

    Perhaps related, there was a news post today about an effort to develop a standardized system for time on the moon.

    It’s just text but I’m sure I’m underestimating it, especially at social media scale.

    Anyone smarter than me know how much storage (I assume that’s most of the problem) overhead we’re talking with a version control system?

    Given, we may not have a version control system that is appropriately designed for social media yet, so pre-existing software like git might not be efficient.


  • Part of the problem extended beyond software. Back when I got into recording, FireWire was necessary for the data bandwidth and it was standard on Macs. I had to install a card to work with my recording interface on Windows.

    On a side note, been using Reaper for years and it has been great as a hobbyist option. I understand why any professional would use something like ProTools instead, though.
