schestowitz[TR2]> I thought maybe to travel to Manchester and invite you to come with me.Mar 24 08:53
schestowitz[TR2]Oh, wow! That's great news. One of my favourite singers, Rianne likes him also.Mar 24 08:53
schestowitz[TR2]Yes, let's do this.  It's 5 minutes walk from our door.Mar 24 08:53

schestowitz[TR2]"I think fall rates are a bit too slowMar 24 08:54
schestowitz[TR2]It sounds the same to me in browser (Firefox, Chrome) and has some click INSIDE the dits and dahsMar 24 08:54
schestowitz[TR2]Which is very weird, it's clean sine waveMar 24 08:54
schestowitz[TR2]Maybe aliasing is doing this? Playing with audio files and slew rates to hopefully make it cleanMar 24 08:54
schestowitz[TR2]Thanks!"Mar 24 08:54
schestowitz[TR2]"Ah ok, I've tried FLAC and it's all broken"Mar 24 08:55
schestowitz[TR2]"Chrome is fine, but Firefox can't properly play low bitrate FLACs, so I've put higher bitrate as a defaultMar 24 08:56
schestowitz[TR2]I've made slew duration an argument you can change while invoking the scriptMar 24 08:56
schestowitz[TR2]And also redid the soft start and finish using the Hanning window (you are already using numpy, so why not?)Mar 24 08:56
schestowitz[TR2]Check this outMar 24 08:56
schestowitz[TR2]Cheers"Mar 24 08:56

schestowitz[TR2]Excellent.  I'll give it a test and push it to Git.Mar 24 14:17

schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p>The FreeBSD ports tree is branched every quarter, roughly with the idea that you can pick a stable(-ish) branch of ports to consume, or you can go with main and get the ports-du-jour. The branches also offer a way of sticking to older releases of some software. </p>Mar 24 15:55
schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p> KDE Plasma 6 (and most of KDE Gear, and all the supporting KDE Frameworks) have arrived in main, and the KDE Plasma 5 ports have been removed. That’s a decision of the kde@ group of maintainers of the KDE ports in FreeBSD, one which boils down to not having the time available to maintain both versions, and wanting to be able to upstream fixes. </p>Mar 24 15:55

schestowitz[TR2]A guy who left in January on his own recently reached out to see if there were any openings in my group. He couldn’t wait to leave just like so many of us, so saying I was shocked would be an understatement. When I asked what happened, he didn’t really want to elaborate. Do you know of others in a similar situation? I thought everyone who left was in a significantly better position, so this was a bit of a rude awakening.Mar 24 16:50
