So it looks like the battle for office communication and team cooperation is still undecided. Microsoft might have more users, recruiting thousands at a time from big companies, but the avant-garde techies of funded startups still favor Slack. Microsoft is making little headway in this market segment and Slack is showing little signs of letting up its hold on startups any time soon.

![]() "I can just plug my guitar straight into my phone's headphone jack using an adaptor, why do I need this?" Well, yes, you can just hook your guitar up to your device's headphone jack using something like IK's own iRig adaptor. ![]() "But wait a second, Mark!" I hear you cry. The iRig UA works in conjunction with the AmpliTube UA app to deliver some decent guitar tones by emulating the effects of valve overdrive and distortion in software, manipulating the guitar signal into something that resembles what you might hear from a classic guitar amp. The device itself is a small, lightweight, and unassuming bus-powered silver box that hooks up to any device sporting Android 4.2 or higher and supporting host mode/USB OTG (if you don't know if your phone supports host mode, you'll probably need an app to find out). One of the few devices to take advantage of the SDK was IK Multimedia's iRig HD-A, released towards the tail end of last year along with a special version of the company's AmpliTube software on the Samsung Galaxy Store.Ĭlearly, a more widely accessible solution was needed. The emphasis there is very much on "a wide range." Samsung did develop the Professional Audio SDK, which added high-performance audio processing and a USB MIDI driver to Android, but it only works on Samsung phones and tablets. Limited or not, class-compliant support means that third parties can finally build audio interfaces for Android that work with a wide range of devices. Suffice it to say, most audio interfaces have some issues working with the OS. The folks over at ExtremeSD, which makes its own custom audio driver for Android, have a good list of what does and doesn't work with Android's class-compliant driver. ![]() Only towards the tail end of last year did Google introduce class-compliant support for USB audio interfaces in Android 5.0, but even that had some hefty stipulations attached to it to dramatically limit compatibility. Part of the reason it's taken so long for devices like the iRig UA to hit Android is due to a lack of interest from Google itself high-quality audio simply hasn't been a priority. Ars will have a deep dive looking at the process of guitar modelling, including interviews with some of the industry's biggest names, up in the next few months. There are numerous ways to model guitar amplifiers, but for the most part companies like IK Multimedia and Positive Grid study the schematics of an amplifier, and try to recreate the behaviour of each individual component, backing up that process with convolution and impulse response modelling. Valve amplifiers are particularly difficult to recreate in software, however, because of the non-linear way in which valves amplify the guitar signal and how the different components in in the amp interact with each other to produce a particular tone. ![]() In the guitar world, digital modelling mostly revolves around recreating classic tube-powered amplifiers and solid-state effect pedals. What is digital modelling?Digital modelling is the process of recreating an analogue device's behaviour entirely within software using either a general purpose CPU or dedicated digital signal processing (DSP) hardware. While guitar amplifier modelling has come a long way over the last few years, unfortunately the iRig UA is still a few steps behind. It's the sort of thing that, when I first started playing guitar many moons ago, I'd have absolutely gone nuts over.Ĭhild-like excitement aside though, I'm not entirely convinced by the sounds on offer. It lets you plug in a guitar and start bashing out riffs without the need for a hulking Marshall stack or expensive dedicated modelling hardware like an Axe-Fx. The iRig UA is a £80 ($99) audio interface and software solution for Android 4.2 and higher devices. Thankfully, IK Multimedia-a company known for its AmpliTube modelling software on the desktop and iOS-has stepped in to fill this gap on Android. There are limitations of course-needing an iPad being a large one-but multiple third-party vendors now built audio interfaces specifically for use with iPhones as well. Class-compliant support for USB audio interfaces (essentially an external sound card) has long been baked into iOS via the USB camera connection kit for iPad, meaning that a wide range of audio devices can be used with that platform's plethora of musical apps. If, like me, you're an Android-toting guitar player or musician, options for getting high-quality audio in or out of your smartphone or tablet have been rather limited.

TextWrangler works with Services, and the Tidy to XHTML service lets me take the not-quite-standards-compliant code that Claris Home Page produces and the much more compliant HTML code that KompoZer produces and convert them to XHTML in a flash. In addition to having TextWrangler search the current open page or the entire website, I can also have it search only the results of an earlier search (as with the TextSoap example) or only the files I currently have open. I need to have a tool that can go through the entire website and replace a misspelled name, change an updated URL, substitute a new email address for an old one, and locate links to websites I’ve learned no longer exist or have expired and been taken over with unrelated content. That’s the primary reason I stuck with BBEdit 4.6 as long as I did – and why I was thrilled when Bare Bones made TextWrangler free. Then I did a search-and-replace to find “/textsoap.html” and substitute “/textsoap/”, and after that I looked through the results page and found some links to mac_textsoap.html and textsoap_mac.html, which I also replaced. Then I did a search-and-replace on just those results, replacing “textSOAP” with “TextSoap” on one pass, and “TextSOAP” on the next. ![]() The first step was to search all of our files for every instance of textsoap regardless of case. I also discovered that the URL had changed from to.

Text Editing at Low End MacĮver since we began this website, we’ve used Claris Home Page to design our pages and edit our content. TextWrangler didn’t become free until Bare Bones released TextWrangler 2, and for a lot of people, it’s all the text editor you’ll ever need. TextWranger 1 was a low cost alternative to BBEdit and supposedly replaced BBEdit Lite for OS X users. (There were later versions of BBEdit Lite, but version 5.0 and above lost the ability to do a global search-and-replace through the contents of a folder and all of its sub-folders. ![]() I used it for years, and BBEdit 4.6 was exactly the right tool for me in my pre-OS X days. ![]() Historyįor years, Bare Bones offered a free, lightweight version of BBEdit known as BBEdit Lite.

Then, return and talk to the director to complete the mission and unlock the Omega Armor outfit. ![]() Destroy all the cultist vehicles, which is quick and easy to do. You will first be tasked with going up and around the mountain to destroy trucks blaring noise in the area. When you arrive, talk to Guy Marvel to begin the "Quiet On The Set" side mission. They will often talk about the Radon Mine, and the Hollywood people there. You can also ask NPCs at the Hope County Jail, or talk to survivors with "!" notes above their heads. There is a mine entrance with a neon "Omega" symbol outside. You can reach the Grimalkin Radon Mine by following the road east from Hope County Jail, then turn onto the dirt road leading up the mountain. To unlock the secret Omega Armor outfit, go to the Grimalkin Radon Mine at the following location (in the Henbane River area in Faith's region). Open it, go down the ladder, and enter the room with the bunk bed to solve the Foxhole Prepper Stash and unlock the Militia outfit. Follow the short platforming through the building to reach a hatch in the floor. Kill the enemies, then enter the destroyed building through the window. It is heavily guarded, including a flame thrower guard. To find the Foxhole Prepper Stash, go to the Armstrong Residence in John's region at the following location. The Militia outfit can be found in the "Foxhole Prepper Stash" quest. You have to collect it from the tunnel again. However, if you drop it, it cannot be bought from a vendor. It works just like the regular modern RPG in the game, and can be refilled with rockets around the map and from the shop. The classic RPG-7 is leaning against the blue rusted truck, in front of the destroyed tunnel. Go to the indicated location in the west of John's region to find the classic RPG-7, which cannot be bought in the shop. It is an optional quest and not part of the main story. You can do this quest at any point in the game, even after having completed the story. At the end of the questline, you will get the Magnapulse alien weapon (you can find and equip it in the special weapons tab at any gun store) and "Science Fact" achievement. Always return to Larry after completing one of his quests. In total this questline consists of four quests: "Free Larry", "The Hero's Journey", "Close Encounters", and "Out Of This World". Once Larry is free, he will give you some follow up quests. You can disable it by turning off the three nearby generators (marked on the map once you discover Larry). When you find Larry, he will be trapped behind an electric barrier. He is at the "Parker Laboratories" fast travel point, just west of Fall's End (main town in John's region). It is given to you by an NPC called Larry, in John's region. So for anyone with uPlay google Baracuda for the dll file, and use Mr Antifuns last 2 trainers.To get the special Magnapulse alien weapon, you must complete an optional Aliens questline. I am already in the hardest mode though so basically all I was after was the use of CE to gain more skill points without having to go farm prepper stashes for the extra 3 points each time. I used CE for my skill points as I do not like to have any left over points when I stream my games making it painfully obvious I did something I shouldn't have. Love to see one by Mr Antifun as I prefer to stick to one coder then have a bunch to keep up with. Mr Antifun's trainers Far Cry 5 V1.011 Trainer 9, Far Cry 5 V1.012 Trainer 9, and Far Cry 5 V1.013 Trainer 9 work as well but only curtain ones in each trainer which works out running both as they have the same option so no conflicts take place in the game running both as I have done. ![]() I am able to use Cheat Engine which I can easily get values for most numbered items.

![]() The schedule for the audio tones is listed in the table, with the minutes labeled from 0 to 59. However, a 440 Hz tone is broadcast once per hour, and some minutes do not include any audio tones at all. Most minutes feature a 500 or 600 Hz audio tone.

As shown in the graphic below, the total zone around the second pulses lasts for 40 ms, consisting of 10 ms of silence, the 5 ms tone, and another 25 ms of silence. The silence before and after the pulses makes it easier to identify the second pulses. The station's on-time marker is synchronized with the start of the 5 ms tone. The second marker for the broadcast is at the end of the 10 ms period and the start of the 5 ms period. The remaining seconds pulses are short audio bursts (5 ms pulses of 1000 Hz at WWV and 1200 Hz at WWVH) that sound like the ticking of a clock.Įach seconds pulse is preceded by 10 ms of silence and followed by 25 ms of silence. The first pulse of each minute is an 800 ms pulse of 1000 Hz at WWV and 1200 Hz at WWVH. The first pulse of each hour is an 800 ms pulse of 1500 Hz. These pulses are heard every second except on the 29th and 59th seconds of each minute. The most frequent sounds heard on WWV and WWVH are the seconds pulses. The hours are numbered beginning with 00 hours at midnight through 12 hours at noon to 23 hours and 59 minutes just before the next midnight. However, the difference between UTC and local time does change-by 1 hour. When local time changes from Daylight Saving to Standard Time, or vice versa, UTC does not change. The number of hours depends on the number of time zones between your location and the location of the zero meridian (which passes through Greenwich, England). ![]() ![]() UTC differs from your local time by a specific number of hours. Coordination with the international UTC time scale keeps NIST time signals in close agreement with signals from other time and frequency stations throughout the world. UTC was established by international agreement in 1972, and is governed by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in Paris, France. The announced time is "Coordinated Universal Time" (UTC). The WWV announcement follows at about 7.5 s before the minute. The WWVH announcement occurs first, at about 15 s before the minute. Voice announcements are made from WWV once every minute. Global Positioning System (GPS) Status Reports. ![]() The absence of traditional tutorials results in hundreds of generic puzzles, which are normally just slightly harder variations of the previous panels. But The Witness is over 40 hours long, and quickly the repetitiveness and pacing issues begin to weather away at the patience of even the most committed puzzle game connoisseur. These qualities all embody the unique experience that The Witness refines so well, and the opening few hours are a delight. Being able to drop into The Witness, leisurely stroll around the realm and stumble upon another hidden environmental challenge is a joy, and something that is perfectly suited to the portability of the iOS iteration of the game. Suddenly, that strangely arranged collection of rocks shows itself to be more than just for show, and the island becomes more than a mere path to your next objective. ![]() But then, at some variable point when you’re just about sick of the seemingly infinite puzzles, you start to look at the in-game world differently. Certain areas require water and light reflections to reveal secrets, while others use colored filters to make you approach certain conundrums literally from a different angle – these clever twists expand the core maze gameplay far beyond what its genre contemporaries would ever have been able to without The Witness’s gorgeous settings. For starters, many challenges require light and color to bypass seemingly impossible puzzles. The most groundbreaking aspect of The Witness is how it incorporates its open world into the puzzles, in ways that will repeatedly surprise you as you dive deeper into the game. However, the breathtaking settings aren’t just there for eye candy. After all, views that feature shimmering, reflective lakes and sprawling, accessible locations that are just longing to be investigated are worth taking in. As with the puzzles within the game, the fluorescent and minimalistic design isn’t cluttered with details, but leaves it to the player’s imagination to make the most of the mysterious settings. ![]() With an impressive realistic lighting system that is as spectacular on the smaller screen of the iPhone as it was on consoles, the pink sparkle of the orchard or the mysterious gloom of the desert ruins looks stunning, despite its inherent simplicity. The approximately sixteen different locations in the overworld, despite being entirely devoid of activity, are brought to life through incredibly vivid and distinct cel-shaded graphics. ![]() If there ever was a game to show off the Super OLED display of the upcoming iPhone X, The Witness is surely it. The other area The Witness quite literally shines is in its incredible aesthetic design. However, these ‘new’ mechanics can be found throughout the world from the beginning, and that light-bulb moment when a previously inaccessible panel suddenly makes sense upon a later discovery is one of the most satisfying moments in The Witness. This may sound initially confusing, though The Witness ensures all new concepts are introduced gently amidst its ‘show, don’t tell’ philosophy, with forgiving trial and error prioritized over immersion-breaking explanations. As would be expected of any decent puzzle title on iOS, new mechanics are quickly introduced, from self-explanatory symmetrical challenges to more cryptic symbols that have multiple requirements before any such maze can be cleared. The actual gameplay in The Witness revolves around the concept of a ‘maze puzzle’ – using the touch screen, you must draw a line on a panel that connects specified origin and ending points together. In an era where procedural generation and sweeping sandbox worlds are the norm, The Witness excels through amalgamating experimental puzzle elements with a stunning, nonlinear environment that must be interacted with in numerous creative ways. However, the hands-off approach that is fundamental to The Witness’s identity is also its biggest source of frustration and, because of Thekla, Inc.’s impressive efforts in emulating the experience on mobile devices, a flaw that is as prominent as ever in the iOS iteration of the game. This core ethos permeates into every inch of The Witness, whether it’s solving puzzles, navigating complex terrain or attempting to work out how to access a seemingly out of bounds point of interest, and its respect for the user is one reason why the game received such universal critical acclaim upon its console release in 2016. No title screen, no contextual introduction, no long-winded tutorial – in The Witness, you’re simply left to your own devices, and the curiosity that such a brazen start instills in the player serves as the primary catalyst to explore its luscious, vibrant and expansive environments. After a loading screen that suggests ‘for the best experience, use headphones’, you immediately awaken in a dimly lit underground tunnel, amidst deafening silence. From the outset, The Witness ($9.99) is a video game that defies convention. Flickers of movement behind the silver curtain that served as his first backdrop incited the kind of isolated squeals that you'd expect to hear at a blockbuster boyband stadium concert, and when he finally emerged on stage and stood still, hunched over in a yellow suit, to perform "Igor's Theme", the crowd's word-perfect sing-a-long was almost as impressive as Tyler's ability to switch between moods and personas. Whether he liked it or not, it felt as though much of the energy at his opening night at Brixton Academy was fuelled by his audience's political angst, as thousands of fans armed with bumbags piled into the show ready to mosh and shout some bad words at the top of their lungs. GIFs of the ex-prime minister's awkward dance moves soon spread across Twitter like wildfire. Not long after, in a bizarre moment of cultural and political serendipity, Tyler announced that he would be playing three dates at Brixton Academy in September, sold them out, and May tearfully handed over the responsibility of Brexit to someone else. Organising spontaneous comeback shows is apparently a little trickier when you have millions of fans who have been waiting to see you perform live for four years. ![]() ![]() Crowds swarmed to the gig's venue, Virgil Abloh apparently got caught in the mob, and then the police shut the whole operation down. But just days before May's resignation, he'd returned to London to announce a last-minute, surprise show in Peckham via a selfie of him stood outside Buckingham Palace. In 2015, the rapper had been banned from entering the UK by the then home secretary, for offensive music he had released in 2009. "Theresa gone, I'm back," penned Tyler, The Creator to his eight million Twitter followers, to the tune of 131,000 likes. It’s why his music has spoken to a generation of teenagers.When Theresa May resigned from her role as prime minister earlier this year, there was one celebrity response that elicited more excitement than most. His voice is raw and quakes at moments, but that only underlines the honesty in his lyrics. He notoriously hates his own voice, but tonight he sings beautifully without effects. Tyler stands with the mic by his side, drinking it in, before ripping through half of IGOR. The ‘IGOR’S THEME’ instrumental plays while the crowd yells along and chants “Fuck Theresa May”. Even the spotlight tracing him across the stage shakes, as if it’s also been blindsided by the fact that oh my God, he’s actually here. The already iconic mushroom wig and yellow suit silence the crowd. It’s twenty minutes later when the man himself, in full IGOR regalia, actually emerges. ![]() If the ritual works, it’s slow to have its intended effect. The crowd at O2 Academy Brixton – the first of three sold-out nights – skews so young that at 22 I constantly feel like I’m about to be led out back and put down like an elderly dog in a Western.Īt 9pm screams rise from the standing section and the entire circle balcony jumps up, as though in a summoning ritual. The silver lamé on stage shrinks into neat squares, vertical Snapchat rectangles. You can feel the anticipation in the air at Tyler, the Creator’s first UK show in four years – it feels like the heat of nearly five thousand humans in one room. ![]() Castle Garenbrig is also a perfectly serviceable mana ramping since it can turn four mana into six green.Llanowar is the better of these options in the early-game since it doesn't require you to tap another creature.
