Question: Describe a programming goal you eventually abandoned because you couldn't figure it out?
Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 8 2011, 11:31pm
Reply on November 9 2011, 3:40pm:
    The back burner is often full... I haven't solved P=NP yet, if that would count... Anyway if something is difficult I sit on it and think about it more, and if I lose interest then I guess it would be abandoned. I'll think about this more to see if I can come up with any specifics.

    None really; I do generally think that hobbyists should have access to the same stuff as pros, so that someday they might be able to go pro..

Question: I agree. They don't get taxed for high frequency trading & causes volatility for the legit investor. Where do we draw the line?

Question: Re: money from money. Are you referring to socialite types of people & brokers who collect interest doing jack shit?
Asked by AnalSeducer (75.125.220.x) on November 7 2011, 6:34pm
Reply on November 8 2011, 2:33am:
    I meant more the arbitrage/high volume trading stuff... At least if you have money and you invest it, say, in municipal bonds, you're providing value to those municipalities that need the working capital to get shit done. If you have a computer that buys and sells stocks thousands of times a day to make money, what's the value (for society) in that?

    I think that making money from money without contributing anything to society is a bit soulless and awful.

Question: If you were to start as a programmer TODAY, which languages / platforms would pique your interest?
Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 5 2011, 1:15am
Reply on November 5 2011, 8:48pm:
    I think web based stuff (html/css/php/javascript/ajax) gets you the most bang for the buck, but I really prefer end user software as you can scale it cheaply.

Question: Is it possible to link mingw LIBs/DLLs with vc2005?
Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on November 4 2011, 2:40pm
Reply on November 5 2011, 8:49pm:
    LIBs would probably not trivially link, no. DLL loading I'm sure you can do, though the C++ calling conventions probably differ, so if you use classes/interfaces across modules/compilers it would be a world of pain.

Question: What hardware do you use to backup source code? In addition, what's the new build environment? (Ref: changelog v4.11pre3)
Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on November 4 2011, 8:52am
Reply on November 5 2011, 8:50pm:
    We use git, and the hardware doesn't really matter (it's all online storage, really, just in many locations).

Question: REAPER media items lane painting (WM_PAINT) is really smooth... do you use double buffer? Hardware accelerated (DirectX)?

Reply on November 1 2011, 9:25pm:
    It just renders to a DIB using LICE, and then BitBlt()s it to screen. Nothing fancy.

Question: Is signal theory that complicated once you have a firm understanding of it?
Asked by John (24.234.128.x) on October 31 2011, 5:37pm
Reply on November 1 2011, 9:26pm:
    Depends on what "signal theory" means, I suppose... I never quite get my head around the multidimensional math of recursive filters, but other things end up pretty simple to me.

Question: How did you determine what to optimize to make Nitrane so fast? Did you just "borrow" others optimizations or were they yours?
Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on October 31 2011, 4:38am
Reply on October 31 2011, 3:20pm:
    I had spent a lot of time optimizing other decoders.. and Intel was nice enough to give us VTune early on, and we also got MMX and 3DNow! supporting CPUs, which were optimized for.. other than that, it was a lot of trial and error, and yes, learning from how other people optimized.
