Question: How do you deal with massive WM_PAINT code? Separated functions? Dedicated classes? Asked by Rodrigo (161.148.171.x) on December 5 2011, 10:41am Reply on December 8 2011, 12:15am: Normal functions and stuff, yeah. Comment... Question: Why did you decide to start this site, and begin answering questions in this manner? Asked by Mr. Distributed (173.254.216.x) on December 5 2011, 5:31am Reply on December 8 2011, 12:11am: I figured it was easier than coming up with things to write in blog form. Comment... Question: run-time or load-time dynamic linking? Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on December 5 2011, 4:08am Reply on December 8 2011, 12:15am: Depends, but run-time generally if it's something that might not always be present. Comment... Question: Hey Justin, I like my handle. But i'm thinking of changing it to "Sam Sweet" what do you think? bit.ly/4ZyRn0 Asked by AnalSeducer (206.217.221.x) on December 4 2011, 12:45am Reply on December 8 2011, 12:14am: Haha I had no idea he was in that. Comment... Question: If Pinnochio said "My nose is about to grow", what would happen? Asked by Mick (46.66.84.x) on December 3 2011, 12:21pm Reply on December 3 2011, 6:42pm: The real question is, in my mind, did Pinnochio's nose grow because of the intent of lying or the actual lie? I.e. if he believed something to be true, and said it, and it turned out to be false, would his nose grow? If so, he would have an extremely valuable tool for testing the truth of things. Comment... Question: VMWare Workstation or VirtualBox? (and why?) Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on December 2 2011, 8:19pm Reply on December 3 2011, 6:39pm: VirtualBox, because it is free and in theory one could go hack the source (though compiling it is apparently a huge task). Comment... Question: Do you think Linux will ever compete with OSX or Windows as a desktop OS? Asked by Mr. Distributed (86.68.63.x) on December 2 2011, 1:34am Reply on December 3 2011, 6:40pm: I would say that it does now, but if you mean "with a significant share of the desktop OS market", I don't know. Both Windows and OSX are pretty compelling, largely due to the wide variety of software... Comment... Question: Would it make you happy if one of these online music stores ported AVS to Javascript/Canvas to add your tech? That'd be rad. Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 30 2011, 6:53pm Reply on December 1 2011, 3:55am: That would be rad. I.e. this... Comment... Question: What are your thoughts on Google's Music service? Any point to uploading your library? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 30 2011, 9:48am Reply on November 30 2011, 4:53pm: I tried out iTunes match, it works pretty well. Not having to use iTunes would be a big plus, though. The Amazon service is pretty good too; the big thing that was nice about iTunes match, though, is I only had to upload about 10% of my stuff, the other 90% it already had. I have a decent amount of upstream at home, but that 10% still took a while... had I had to do all of it, I would've been waiting around a while. Comment... Question: Do you think you could solve skeletal tracking (or get a decent solution) like Kinect? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 30 2011, 8:45am Reply on November 30 2011, 4:53pm: Probably not, but I know someone who can/did... Comment... Question: I have been trying to decompile it but I have not been able, can you help? Asked by tribalplague (99.33.78.x) on November 30 2011, 6:05am Reply on November 30 2011, 4:54pm: You could also just transcribe them, no? Comment... Question: Do you use Pandora? What are your thoughts on it? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 29 2011, 9:34pm Reply on November 30 2011, 4:04am: I have used it, and it's interesting, though I think I listen to about the same 10 or 20 albums most of the time. I really like the album format, vs songs. Comment... Question: Where can I find a text of the old scrolling credits in WinAmp 2.0 and where did you come with the idea for that? Asked by Tribal Plague (99.33.78.x) on November 29 2011, 9:15pm Reply on November 30 2011, 4:03am: Probably embedded in the exe.. not sure what the idea came from, just standard movie style stuff... Comment... Question: What do you think of this question? Asked by philosopher, THE (89.180.178.x) on November 29 2011, 5:45pm Reply on November 30 2011, 4:03am: It is very simple to answer. Comment... Question: Did you ever experience any wrist pain due to long hours of coding? Asked by Albert (161.148.171.x) on November 29 2011, 5:06pm Reply on November 30 2011, 4:02am: At times, though I think bowling was a bigger culprit. Comment... Question: Which open source license to prefer to release your code under and why? Asked by Mr. Distributed (137.56.163.x) on November 29 2011, 2:41am Reply on November 30 2011, 4:02am: If it's code that I think everybody would benefit from, and I wouldn't imagine any secret-sauce updates being important, then a BSD style license (example: most of WDL). If it's something specific where if someone took it and improved on it, I'd likely want access to their improvements (example, WDL's resampler lib), then I'd do LGPL. Comment... Question: what's top of your list of things you'd love to do but haven't quite found the time yet? Asked by themike (90.195.247.x) on November 27 2011, 5:55pm Reply on November 30 2011, 4:01am: Hmm getting a pilots license would be sweet... just can't commit to devoting enough time to it, and it's something I'd want to do well, not just half assed. Comment... Question: How do you decide when something is done and ready to ship? Asked by Mr. Distributed (77.247.181.x) on November 24 2011, 6:20pm Reply on November 27 2011, 3:49pm: That question can be applied to so much in life! You never really feel anything is done, but "good enough" or "better than the last version" are feelings you do get. Comment... Question: www.reaper.fm/download.php doesn't work! :) Asked by Stench (75.119.11.x) on November 24 2011, 3:34am Reply on November 27 2011, 3:50pm: Hmm, was it down or something? It works fine here.
