In contrast to Google Sheets, Airtable has an actual API.

I'm not sayin Airtable is a silver bullet though.


I thought google sheets had two apis: one hosted (gscript) and the other web services.


Confirmed, Google Sheets does have an API and it works very well, see https://developers.google.com/sheets/api


Google Sheets API is a nightmare compared to Airtable API.

There are external services like Sheetsu or Sheety to make Google Sheets API usable.


I remember seeing an external tool from the Ruby world on hacker news not too long ago, can't remember it's name though.

If the tool actually makes it easier to access the api, I would prefer Google sheets over airtable.


That someone could argue that the proof is forged.

Is there a good and short (5 mins max) video explaining how EUV works and how the produced chip works?


It's 21 minutes, not 5 minutes, but here's a lecture by Chris Mack on EUV from 2013. He's fantastic. (Skip around or increase playspeed if you don't have more than 5 minutes to spare.)

Chips produced by EUV work the same as any other chip. And even chips that are made with EUV are only using EUV for the very finest features - they're still using plenty of 'regular' lithography for the dozens of other lithography steps.


I have way more than 5 minutes, just my attention-span is crippled.


I don't know of a video but I'll try to summarize.

How to make a chip: 1. Slice pure silicon into a wafer. 2. Apply a thin coating of a light-activated chemical which does something to the wafer (etch, build up metal, dope[1] silicon, etc.). 3. Shine light through a mask which exposes a pattern into the silicon wafer. 4. Rinse off the un-activated chemical. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 many times for each layer. 6. Slice the wafer up into rectangular chips 7. Package the chips into a plastic, metal, ceramic, package with exposed metal contacts which can be soldered to a circuit board.

Why EUV? Extreme Ultraviolet - really small wavelength. When you're trying to expose really small structures you need a really small wavelength.

Why is EUV so hard? EUV is extremely high energy so it destroys everything, and it takes a huge amount of energy to create the light source. Also: quantum things.
