Question: Have you ever studied the academic side of algorithms, or do you just use raw brain power/logic to do what works?

Question: I beleive that there are three people developing REAPER. In % how much of the three are involved in the amount of total coding?
Asked by JustCurious (89.180.116.x) on November 14 2011, 6:13pm
Reply on November 14 2011, 6:40pm:
    The three of us do all of the coding, except for the licensing of certain technologies (such as Elastique). I would guess that about 40% of our time is spent coding, and the rest dealing with everything else.

    Should email me instead :) I diffed the mods, some things looked like debug stuff was left in there. Try git diff --ignore-all-space and then send me comments on some of the less obvious changes?

Question: how do you think C74's gen~ bit.ly/tdNy38 compares to JS - similar technologies?
Asked by olilarkin (144.32.156.x) on November 9 2011, 3:58pm
Reply on November 9 2011, 4:03pm (edited at November 9 2011, 4:04pm):
    I haven't used it, but looking at it it seems they have a big hugely powerful complex system for building things, whereas JS is like having an assembler...

Question: What is a WDL_FastString, i.e. why should/shouldn't one use it instead of a regular WDL_String?
Asked by Tale (77.168.115.x) on November 9 2011, 10:38am
Reply on November 9 2011, 3:37pm:
    If you need to be able to do things like:
    string.Get()[3]=x;
    
    Then you must use WDL_String. WDL_FastString makes Get() return const char *, which means all modifications have to be done through its methods. The advantage of this is that it can track the string's length, so a) string.GetLength() is constant-time, and b) appends and many other operations are faster (not needing to calculate the string's length each time).

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.
