Question: Re MM: yours is clearer but we get the exact same result. in my example I / with factorial of 6 which is 720 etc. boring? :p Asked by gio (94.66.72.x) on March 31 2012, 7:50pm Reply on April 1 2012, 12:55am: Ah yeah, oops, I didn't notice the !, it blended in as punctuation... Comment... Question: I don't know about MM but if it were lotto it would be: 1/49 * 1/48 * 1/47 * 1/46 * 1/45 * 1/44 = 10,068,347,520 / 6! correct? Asked by gio (94.66.72.x) on March 31 2012, 11:39am Reply on March 31 2012, 3:14pm: I think I made the same mistake when initially calculating the odds of MM, but the order doesn't matter (except for the last number here), so your odds would be 1 in 49/6 * 48/5 * 47/4 * 46/3 * 45/2 * 44, or 1 in about 13 million. For the first number, you have 6 chances in 49, the second number has 5 chances in 48, etc. Comment... Question: are you going to play MegaMillions for a chance to win 1/2 billion dolla' Asked by poop (68.28.147.x) on March 30 2012, 6:45pm Reply on March 30 2012, 9:09pm (edited at March 30 2012, 9:28pm): Sure, $1's worth, anyway. I originally replied with some odds calculations which were a bit off -- by my (fixed) math the odds seem to be (5/56 * 4/55 * 3/54 * 2/53 * 1/52 * 1/46), or about 1 in 175 million. Not too shabby! Comment... Question: Why do so many developers use Macs? Writing web code and browsing are basically the same despite OS, so why pay the extra? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on March 30 2012, 4:23pm Reply on March 30 2012, 9:01pm: It comes preinstalled with apache, php, perl, vim, etc? Comment... Question: what's the best organization for header includes in order to increase compilation speed? Asked by gio (94.66.81.x) on March 27 2012, 4:16am Reply on March 28 2012, 8:37pm: Dunno, I've usually tried to speed up rebuilds via hardware... The pair of mac minis do a pretty good job of it now. Comment... Question: what do you think of this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSKQ3ZNQ_O8 Asked by coop (67.88.171.x) on March 26 2012, 2:33pm Reply on March 28 2012, 8:38pm: Errm. Comment... Question: where [do] you live NY or SF ? Asked by reza (91.98.82.x) on March 23 2012, 4:59pm Reply on March 25 2012, 2:23pm: NYC! =) Comment... Question: Have you used XML in any of your projects? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on March 23 2012, 3:02pm Reply on March 23 2012, 4:00pm: I find it a pain to parse. Comment... Question: is wdl_fft fast enough for all Reaper's FFT needs or do you use other libraries too? Asked by olilarkin (144.32.204.x) on March 22 2012, 2:39pm Reply on March 22 2012, 6:42pm: Yes, though compiling it with ICC probably doesn't hurt, too. Comment... Question: who is the boss of twitter? Asked by rtqp (146.115.74.x) on March 22 2012, 6:57am Reply on March 22 2012, 6:42pm (edited at March 23 2012, 4:39am): royugo? Comment... Question: Ever used Lisp? Any thoughts on it? Asked by David (69.15.110.x) on March 21 2012, 2:12pm Reply on March 22 2012, 6:42pm: I've looked at it but never done anything meaningful with it. I've spent more time with javascript, which syntax aside reminds me of it. Comment... Question: Thoughts? www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UvEiSa6_EPA... Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on March 21 2012, 6:24am Reply on March 22 2012, 6:43pm: Err, meh. I've been playing with eyewire, it's really cool. Comment... Question: How many space is your tab space on your code editor? Or do you use the default (4 spaces)? Asked by coop (67.88.171.x) on March 20 2012, 6:57pm Reply on March 22 2012, 6:44pm: 2, inserted as spaces. Probably leads to bad habits (too large of functions), though. Comment... Question: Re: prioritizing. I assume then MIDI is not high on your list, unfortunately. But it's something that needs to be improved a lot Asked by Tinny (193.198.68.x) on March 20 2012, 9:12am Reply on March 20 2012, 1:35pm: It's on the list, and we'll probably address it at some point. It is all relative, though, and while you say it needs to be improved a lot, it is also quite functional. Comment... Question: Do you use _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks()? Asked by Rodrigo (189.26.137.x) on March 20 2012, 1:43am Reply on March 20 2012, 1:34pm: No, but we do have our own tool called Nitpicker which can detect leaks but more importantly other errors. Having said that, checking for leaks is sort of difficult as there are many many false positives; we normally would just detect them by real world testing and if we find patterns that result in increasing ram use we would be able to narrow those down and address them. Comment... Question: Do you do any automated testing on REAPER builds? Asked by dude (97.79.213.x) on March 19 2012, 8:55pm Reply on March 20 2012, 1:32pm: Not at the moment, but it has been considered, somewhat. Comment... Question: hmm, really enjoyed {company picnic}, long & tasty! So, what have you been doing lately mate, are you up to something? Asked by gio (94.66.23.x) on March 19 2012, 1:07pm Reply on March 20 2012, 1:32pm: Some travel, visiting friends and family, and stuff. Here's a pic: Comment... Question: The day you got the AOL offer, what thoughts went through your mind? Did you consider you were set for life? Did you celebrate Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on March 19 2012, 4:21am Reply on March 20 2012, 1:31pm: Didn't seem real at the time... I remember having dinner with some friends a short time after, and it felt normal (maybe like Christmas eve, slightly). Comment... Question: What's your opinion on C++ conversion operators, like "operator HWND() { return m_hWnd; }"? Do you use these on your code? Asked by Rodrigo (187.112.89.x) on March 19 2012, 4:00am Reply on March 20 2012, 1:30pm: I don't like them, because I feel it's better to explicitly cast things, and even better for you (as the programmer) to be aware you're calling a function. Comment... Question: Why is exploiting ads for profit a bad thing? Should marketing not charge for its service? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on March 14 2012, 10:04pm Reply on March 17 2012, 5:13pm: Sounds an awful lot like spam to me. Comment...
