I don't mind macOS Tahoe, but grabbing a corner this rounded is strange every time.

They should at least let me hold Cmd + right click to resize anywhere (like on many Linux WMs).
The corner of a window on macOS Tahoe which is much more rounded than previous versions. The mouse cursor hangs off the bottom right edge, showing the corner resize cursor.

I wrote a cross-platform CLAP plug-in test host in < 2000 lines of code with no libraries (other than CLAP + system libs). If that is not a testament to how simple and straightforward the CLAP API is idk what is.

Here is it playing a sine wave through Pro-Q 4, ST4b, and the MiniMeters plug-ins.

i did not think they were going to go this hard
Live 12.2 saw the introduction of Bounce to New Track. With 12.3, you can now bounce an entire Group track in place – or bounce a portion of a Group track, including all its processing, to a new audio track. The all-new Paste Bounced Audio feature allows you to paste a copied clip or selection as bounced audio into any track or take lane. Just hit cmd/ ctrl + opt/ alt + v and whatever you’ve copied can be pasted as bounced audio multiple times, even with tweaks to the clip and processing between each paste.

Seems like an update to the 16 or the desktop. I’m hoping for this keyboard option personally (as seen in a LTT video)
An image of a framework laptop with an ortholinear keyboard rather than the traditional staggered layout. Essentially it looks like a grid of evenly spaced laptop chicklet keys.

index-based for loops are so good when you don't have a clang-tidy on your screen telling you to use a range-based for loop.

got a new keyboard in a few days ago and I’m already back to my normal typing speed :)
A photo of a split mechanical keyboard with six keys on each thumb cluster, a trackball on the left side of the right keyboard half, and a curved key well to better fit the shape of the hand. On screen is neovim in a terminal emulator and monkey type showing 104wpm, and 98% accuracy.
