Question: I start to love STL. Am I doomed? Asked by gio (94.66.69.x) on March 6 2012, 9:50am Reply on March 6 2012, 11:22pm: I don't think you are necessarily doomed, however one can easily do themselves in if they are not careful. Comment... Question: Which particular functions do you use to deal with threads on Win32? Asked by Rodrigo (187.112.69.x) on March 4 2012, 2:14pm Reply on March 5 2012, 5:48pm: CreateThread(), WaitForSingleObject(), CloseHandle(), Enter/Leave/InitializeCriticalSection(), etc, and sometimes CreateEvent() too.. Comment... Question: have you ever considered running a web-based IRC channel for cockos stuff? take a look at this beauty: github.com/thedjp Asked by pixeltarian (75.161.176.x) on March 4 2012, 7:13am Reply on March 5 2012, 5:48pm: Nah, we're often too accessible as it is :) Comment... Question: Why do smart/hip programmers these days (especially SF) answer every question by beginning with "So, ... " Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on March 3 2012, 3:05am Reply on March 5 2012, 5:49pm: So no shit is the prefix I prefer. Honestly I don't really know what you're talking about, though. Comment... Question: If you HAD to use a managed VM platform, would you go with Java or .NET and why? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on March 2 2012, 2:13am Reply on March 2 2012, 7:01pm: Argh, hell if I know... I guess .NET, but I have little experience with either. Does PHP count? Comment... Question: How will having X amount of people following you on twitter affect your ego? :) Welcome to the dark side. Asked by AnalSeducer (76.103.105.x) on February 29 2012, 6:57pm Reply on March 1 2012, 5:16am: Either validate how important I thought I was, or crush me, time will tell. Comment... Question: www.neveroccurs.com/lab/three.js/gpu_particles/index.html?partic... Look what browsers can do now! Wee! Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 29 2012, 12:42am Reply on February 29 2012, 4:52am: It is getting pretty awesome, I agree. I've been playing with javascript stuff for fun, too. Nothing that fancy, though. Comment... Question: What is your opinion on the huge trend away from software efficiency (.NET, iTunes, Windows 7 using 1GB RAM baseline, etc.)? Asked by Josh (75.128.193.x) on February 27 2012, 3:19am Reply on February 28 2012, 1:40am: It's generally awful, though to be honest Windows 7 I rather like, you do get some bang for your buck. The real problem, as I see it, is that people get lazy. People make stuff and don't think too much about code size or overhead or memory use, they just go "whatever, that's good enough". .NET is particularly awful because it lets the user put that blame onto someone else. You can write a nice little tight piece of .NET code, and turn it into a big pile of bloat, but it has a nice SEP field to it. Comment... Question: I've a fresh app with child dialogs & vwnd controls. i get R6025 error while i do .PaintVirtWnd(&g_vwnd). any idea what's wrong? Asked by gio (94.66.78.x) on February 26 2012, 3:36pm Reply on February 26 2012, 8:23pm: I'd have to see more code, but that might be where you do NULLpointer->method(), where method() is a virtual function... Comment... Question: Have you ever listened to any of Nina Simone songs ? If yes, which is your fav.? Asked by tayfun (78.175.239.x) on February 25 2012, 8:40am Reply on February 26 2012, 8:23pm: Can't say that I have. Comment... Question: Have you played around with mobile device (IOS/Android) programming at all? Thoughts? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 25 2012, 1:27am Reply on February 26 2012, 8:24pm: Yeah, I've done some iOS stuff.. it's not bad, just pretty tedious. The main thing keeping me from it now is that to target iOS5 you seem to have to use Xcode4, which is probably the most frustrating experience I've had lately. Comment... Question: is justin bieber actually real Asked by jason (107.2.187.x) on February 23 2012, 7:18am Reply on February 23 2012, 3:26pm: Youtube seems to think he exists... Comment... Question: les paul or strat Asked by stumpbroke1 (67.166.148.x) on February 22 2012, 4:52pm Reply on February 23 2012, 3:26pm: Strat, but there are always things to appreciate about all guitars, really. Comment... Question: Hi Justin! I have a wav file with Note C (guitar sample) and I want to change it to C#. How to implement it in code? Asked by asafonov (79.104.2.x) on February 22 2012, 11:00am Reply on February 23 2012, 3:28pm: If you don't mind changing the length, you could use WDL_Resampler to adjust the rate, i.e. rs.SetRates(srate,srate*pow(2.0,-1.0/12.0)).. There would be a lot of code to read/write .wav files, etc, though. If you want to keep the length the same, you could use SoundTouch and use a pitch adjustment of a similar amount. Comment... Question: Have you ever listened to any Humble Pie? If not you have to check out the Eat It Album!! Asked by HE-MAN (66.61.105.x) on February 22 2012, 2:13am Reply on February 23 2012, 3:28pm: I haven't, but I will. Comment... Question: Have you ever, for any reason, wish you wouldn't have sold Nullsoft to AOL? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 21 2012, 12:18am Reply on February 21 2012, 2:15pm: I'm sure at some point, probably in a stupor, I have thought that, but the vast majority of the time I am thankful for the events that occurred. Comment... Question: Did Tag actually rewrite shoutcast, or just make minor mods on your code? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on February 20 2012, 6:15am Reply on February 20 2012, 5:20pm: I believe there were very extensive mods.. Shoutcast was probably my first real network server thingy... and thus was pretty lousy (albeit functional) initially. Comment... Question: I have to ask... What�s the perception you have of Portugal and the Portuguese. No need being polited! Asked by THe_Portuguese (217.129.147.x) on February 19 2012, 7:51pm Reply on February 19 2012, 9:31pm: I don't have any real perception, I've never been, but would like to go, though I suppose I should learn some Portuguese first... Comment... Question: As an old Win32-head, how did you approach OSX programming? What did you try to learn first? Asked by Rodrigo (187.112.250.x) on February 18 2012, 7:44pm Reply on February 18 2012, 11:40pm: Probably the biggest help would be getting comfortable with objective C's syntax, and getting used to things like [obj isKindOfClass:[NSWhatever class]] and [obj respondsToSelector:@selector(doesSomething:)] and so on. Then you learn some basic cocoa stuff, and spend ages digging through the awful documentation to figure out how to do what you want to do. I liked it so little, I made sure that I'd never have to do it again (hence SWELL wrapping the cocoa). Comment... Question: When dealing with large changes in a system, do you prefer a gradual change or a hard switchover? (postgres > mongodb for me) Asked by neuman (184.152.73.x) on February 17 2012, 9:49pm Reply on February 18 2012, 12:11am: Gradual when possible, for sure... Comment...
