I think we'll be using 90% less power than when we started, soon. Comment... Question: What (icc) compiler optimizations are you using for REAPER?

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...

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.
