yep, thanks for all the hard work @ mefi

great interview


You got all of my wish list with 2 additions: * ability to favorite plugins (please!) * aliases on the arrange page


Workaround: Make your plugin with settings as you want, then group it so it's inside an instrument rack. Then drag the rack into the browser and into a folder of your choosing.

When you want to use it again, drag the saved rack into your project. The plugins settings will be restored.


It's a marketing piece to highlight Imagination Technologies offerings. The title is misleading.


No, that is not the primary purpose. I've called out products related to Imagination five times (and all of them in block diagram/images used to illustrate practical examples) in an article of 1,300 words.


Sense | Boston/Cambridge, MA USA | Full-time | Onsite

Sense is a home energy monitor that lets homeowners understand their energy and know what's happening at home by showing them what devices are on in their house and how much energy each device uses in real-time. It's a simple box that is installed in your electric panel and a smartphone app.

We are an early-stage company of about 15 people, VC backed, and ready to grow the team! We are currently hiring for:

  * Product / UX Designer 
  * Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer
  * Marketing & Support Interns

I don't know why they have not pulled the new version yet.. apart from the login issue that blocked most people from using the app, there are so many regressions and new bugs it is unusable.

I'm surprised to see such a big misstep from Atlassian.


Please try the latest releases published on Mon and let us know what issues you are running into


Just tried it - few obvious ones on first open:

* Clicking on unstaged/staged files changes the diff view but the highlight on the file works on only half of the files, seems to be random when it works and doesn't work

* Highlight to show which branch is selected is gone (History is selected by default and highlighted, when you click out highlight is gone forever)

* Sometimes diffs are completely blank (https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/29857/194444/fU...)

* UI flickers, is about 2x as slow as previous version

Don't mean to pick apart a free product, but this is a tool we have been using for years and to have a pushed update regress things this much is a surprise.


Thanks for the feedback. I have passed it on to engineering.

Agree this would be the idiomatic java way to do it.

I would greatly prefer this approach - it is clear, consistent with common java practices, and self-documenting: you don't even really need to know java to understand what this does.


Poor quality or really long connections can cause jitter, especially since in most consumer stuff the clock is sent with the signal. That jitter can cause differences in the signal out from the d/a. That said, the difference is less than minuscule, and time and time again people post double blind tests that prove even people who consider themselves trained audiophiles can't tell the difference. Same goes for analog - in practice the cable doesn't make an audible difference, no matter what you use (see below)

Short answer: cables don't matter

The famous audioholics coat hanger test: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/speakers-when-i...

Also a great watch: http://xiph.org/video/vid1.shtml


the whole jitter thing is nonsense in the context of something like an Ethernet cable since only the data is being sent, the packets only have to arrive 'fast enough', the timing doesn't matter.


Yeah sorry - should have said that above applies to digital audio streamed over a wire and decoded directly (spdif, aes, etc)

You can always use a $6k rubidium clock http://www.antelopeaudio.com/en/products/10m-atomic-clock if you really want to make sure your bits are synchronized. It's good enough for wu-tang!

For buffered data being sent and decoded, like via ethernet, the bits are the same on both ends, so I'm not sure what effect you would even make up to say it could change the output.


Fantastic work. Thoughtful solutions to some real usability issues on the current site.
