Question: I know you aren't a big fan of OOP, but what's the max # of coders you've worked with at one time? (real ones, not just by title Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on June 4 2011, 7:25pm Reply on June 4 2011, 10:15pm: I wouldn't say I'm not a big fan of OOP. I like OOP. Just not OOP for OOPs sake, and I don't like some things that C++ supports, like operator overloading. Multiple inheritance is usually ugly, too. The most coders I've actively worked with on common code? I think 5 or so. Comment... Question: windows 8, arm, and reaper. Any thoughts (on the long term) ? Asked by glou (80.13.12.x) on June 4 2011, 4:59pm Reply on June 4 2011, 10:14pm: If the hardware is interesting we'll port to it. :) Comment... Question: I'd like to know how you organize your Win32 code in terms of files, headers, wndprocs, callbacks, and etc. My code is a mess :( Asked by Rodrigo (187.112.248.x) on June 4 2011, 1:25pm Reply on June 4 2011, 10:17pm: I try to keep related stuff modularized and only expose things between modules as necessary. Often I'll have a "main.h" which includes a lot of common declarations of functions, and classes usually get their own headers (or a few highly-related classes sharing a header is not uncommon). Generally speaking though if a class doesn't need to be accessed directly by other modules, I'd rather keep it local to the module where it is used, and use "class Whatever;" in the header in case a pointer gets passed around... Comment... Question: Your take on this? www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html Asked by poop (75.119.11.x) on June 4 2011, 5:17am Reply on June 4 2011, 2:58pm: The short answer: I think people working on things need to use and want to use that thing every day, and be good at their jobs, and be good at communicating. Comment... Question: What's your middle name? Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on June 4 2011, 4:42am Reply on June 28 2011, 12:27am: Danger. Comment... Question: are you still interested in reaper development like in the beginning or are you actually focusing on other plans? Asked by diego (186.18.24.x) on June 3 2011, 9:18pm Reply on June 4 2011, 2:57pm: I am quite interested, though as of late I've been looking at reducing our power consumption and some other fun stuff too... but REAPER is still the biggest single focus. Comment... Question: Do you think Carmack would be impressed by AVS, or think it was a novice invention? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on June 3 2011, 2:39am Reply on June 4 2011, 2:56pm: He'd probably think some of it was trivial, and other parts cute, and hopefully some of the more amazing AVS presets would be impressive (I'm looking at you, Unconed heh). Comment... Question: What all do you have running on EC2 now? Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on June 1 2011, 4:04pm Reply on June 2 2011, 12:14am: Web/dns/forums/etc so far. It works nicely! Comment... Question: What do you think about the ideas in Jurassic Park (bringing dinausor to life) ? do you think it will be possible one day ? Asked by BensBens (109.208.153.x) on May 31 2011, 7:02am Reply on June 2 2011, 12:15am: I very much enjoyed the book, not so much the movie. Yeah, it might happen, though I have my doubts as to whether DNA survives that long... Comment... Question: Can a one-man show sustain himself if he offers his product as uncrippled trialware if it's popular enough? Do people pay up? Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on May 30 2011, 7:06pm Reply on May 30 2011, 10:12pm: People definitely pay up if the product is good and the price reasonable. I'd guess (judging by my gut and ballparks we've made but not any recent analysis) the percentage of serious users who use it at least a few times a week who purchase licenses is in the double digit percentages. Comment... Question: If I'm writing a network app with winsock, how can I code a bandwidth limit throttle? Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on May 28 2011, 8:06pm Reply on May 28 2011, 10:46pm: if sending using send(), track how much you've sent in the last X seconds (maybe keep a rolling count), and don't send if that counter is over its limit. Same goes for receive, mostly... Comment... Question: Do you read stuff like this? www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/ Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on May 27 2011, 6:22pm Reply on May 28 2011, 10:45pm: Not in a very long time, no. The last CPU which I knew anything about the cache structure and logic was probably the P5... Comment... Question: What is your take on CMMI? Will Cockos ever adopt it? What is the current process at Cockos? Is it related to Cowboy coding? Asked by Michael (78.52.211.x) on May 27 2011, 2:13am Reply on May 28 2011, 10:44pm: Probably not. We are very much driven by wanting to do good things, and wanting to enjoy doing good things, and things like CMMI probably aren't that enjoyable. Comment... Question: What's about llama ? Asked by BensBen (83.197.48.x) on May 26 2011, 2:12pm Reply on May 28 2011, 10:44pm: I like llamas. The idea of llamas. Comment...

Asked by BensBen (83.197.48.x) on May 26 2011, 12:46pm Reply on May 28 2011, 10:43pm: I haven't paid too much attention to the kernel scheduling drama, but I also haven't noticed any real problems with linux's desktop performance... so ... yeah. Comment... Question: This is Pimppp bit.ly/kAGX8O where were you when you took this picture?

Such a long day, but it was fun. Comment... Question: what adds value to a software product in yho?
