I think we do a pretty good job on bug fixes. Comment...

Question: Also It's cool looking at your older blog posts from 2003+ similar how people post on twitter today. Fight the power brother!

True, though they are less aggregated and thus less useful. Comment...

Tor is cool but ends up being somewhat pointless. Comment...

Question: Will Reaper be made into a 64-bit Rewire SLAVE so it can work with other hosts that support full 64-bit Rewire(i.e. Studio One)

Question: [I want to make music software...] can you recommend which libraries to start with for GUI and sound? (part 2 of 2)

Reply on October 26 2011, 3:09am:

JUCE might be useful, but I haven't personally used it. It's hard to recommend things to people getting started, because it seems generally things are either a) easy to use or b) really awesome, but not both. Comment...

Question: Were you nervous dropping out of school to do Winamp? Were the folks upset?
Asked by John (69.15.110.x) on October 24 2011, 12:46pm
Reply on October 24 2011, 2:47pm:

I didn't drop out to do Winamp.. I dropped out out of boredom, and Winamp is what ended up being more interesting. Comment...

Question: Any tips for memory management in C/C++?
Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on October 23 2011, 7:10am
Reply on October 24 2011, 2:50pm:

I'm a fan of WDL_HeapBuf etc (having objects that manage resizes sensibly, and automatically have their destructors called is quite nice). C++ new and delete should only be used for single class instances, IMO, new[]/delete[] are terrible things. Comment...

Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on October 22 2011, 5:17am
Reply on October 24 2011, 2:51pm:

The right mix of OCD and low standards, maybe? I do sometimes obsess over stupid details, and other times am quick to say "good enough!" in a way that seems to work out OK. Comment...

Reply on October 24 2011, 2:52pm:

You should make things interesting available to the world, IMO. If you can't make them useful as a product, publish them as a paper or something. Comment...

Question: Re: multiple MIDI items focus/edit. I think Eyes meant this: bit.ly/oHG5VP. Reaper still doesn't do that.

Ah. Interesting. Comment...
