Question: bitblt slow for big windows, any solutions? Asked by ruchira (175.157.140.x) on May 12 2012, 4:33am Reply on May 12 2012, 2:06pm: Using a 32bpp DIB? Do you really need update every pixel, or could you just update the parts that changed? Comment... Question: Why we have a limitation in NSEEL_RAM_BLOCKS + NSEEL_RAM_ITEMSPERBLOCK? if changed, will it break things or I'll have bad perf.. Asked by gio (94.66.81.x) on May 11 2012, 9:30pm Reply on May 12 2012, 2:03am: If you change it you will need to make some mods to asm-nseel-x86-gcc.c and/or asm-nseel-ppc-gcc.c. If modifying the x86 version, you would also need to run "php a2i.php" and "php a2x64.php", the latter multiple times with certain options too. The limit is so that the RAM-space is constrained by EEL, so a plug-in can't allocate too much RAM. Comment... Question: Are we going to see you in Diablo III or EEL2 is a better hell? by the way the updates work beautifully... :) Asked by gio (94.66.48.x) on May 11 2012, 9:01pm Reply on May 12 2012, 2:03am: Hmm? Comment... Question: Justin!! Whats up man! How have you been? Anything new going on? Haven't posted in a while. Take care Asked by AnalSeducer (173.208.68.x) on May 11 2012, 4:00pm Reply on May 12 2012, 2:03am: Stuff's good, bike riding more lately, which I like. Comment... Question: Hey, you've probably been asked this before, but why don't you supply hashes for Reaper (or Setup-Signatures)? Asked by Maximilian (194.166.64.x) on May 9 2012, 7:13pm Reply on May 11 2012, 2:09am: You mean signing our installers? I guess we could, but then we get to cough up for a certificate... Most people don't seem to mind running unsigned installers, anyway. Comment... Question: Programming probably came easy, but was running a business natural or did you have to work at it? Asked by David (69.15.110.x) on May 9 2012, 10:40am Reply on May 9 2012, 4:04pm: If you decide to run it in the right way, it can be easy. Dealing with making compromises in product in the name of money, that's not easy. Comment... Question: Would you be open to being interviewed by Ars Technica? If so, email me: cyrus.farivar at arstechnica.com Asked by Cyrus Farivar (68.68.46.x) on May 8 2012, 2:47pm Reply on May 9 2012, 4:04pm: Sure, emailed. Comment... Question: Are you in contact with the folks from Sound on Sound much? Do they ask for tips for their monthly Reaper blurb? Asked by David (184.36.239.x) on May 8 2012, 1:06am Reply on May 9 2012, 4:05pm: A bit, it seemed they mostly wanted people who knew REAPER and wanted to write the column, rather than just the tips themselves... Comment... Question: In what programming language is Reaper coded ? Asked by nofishonfriday (89.247.129.x) on May 7 2012, 2:26pm Reply on May 9 2012, 4:05pm: C++, but not overly-C++'y. Comment... Question: Re: Nitpicker. Everything silk smooth. Now I have to fix the leaks. What's the avg time u spend 2 make a critical R decision? :) Asked by gio (94.66.83.x) on May 2 2012, 3:23pm Reply on May 4 2012, 3:40pm: Depends, sometimes I procrastinate for months, other times I'll impulsively do stuff. Version control is a good thing. Comment... Question: Have you ever met Sean Parker? Thoughts? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on May 1 2012, 6:17pm Reply on May 4 2012, 3:41pm: I think I did meet him once or twice way back when, but didn't really form an opinion. Comment... Question: Are you on Stackoverflow? Asked by fabb (79.160.213.x) on May 1 2012, 6:33am Reply on May 1 2012, 5:06pm: I have posted a few answers but have never gotten many points. Comment... Question: Re: VC6. The unofficial mentor uses it. So we do as well, it's a matter of trust. It also has native GUI & it's damn fast. Asked by gio (94.66.83.x) on April 30 2012, 6:17pm Reply on May 1 2012, 5:08pm: For your testing pleasure (at your own risk) : np.zip -- run build.bat or (via msys) build.sh, once that works, add the generated .lib to your project, add link options /nodefaultlib:"LIBCMT", for best results define in the preprocessor definitions DEBUG_TIGHT_ALLOC (when using WDL anyway), and that should do 'er. Comment... Question: Is this array class is correct? I'm going to expand it with more operations, but that's the idea: pastebin.com/Ff9US2vE Asked by Rodrigo (161.148.171.x) on April 30 2012, 4:18pm Reply on April 30 2012, 5:42pm: I'm not completely sure if the manual calling of constructors/destructors is reliable. I'd probably make it an array of allocated pointers instead, personally. Also, maybe worth doing bounds checking on the array accesses? I'm not a big fan of overloading operators, I'd rather do array.Get(x) than use array[x], so I'm aware of what's actually happening when I look at the code. Comment... Question: Re: Nitpicker. Our toolchain is strongly Cockos based cause we love it SO much. It would be handy to have some extra power. Asked by gio (94.66.83.x) on April 30 2012, 3:44pm Reply on April 30 2012, 5:43pm: Are you using VC6, too? Comment... Question: Will the fresh EEL2 be as easy to use as the current one? Being very skeptical when I have to deal with people with tons of IQ.. Asked by gio (94.66.17.x) on April 30 2012, 12:48am Reply on April 30 2012, 3:20pm: Yeah, drop in replacement mostly. Comment... Question: hey, managed to make valgrind/WINE work under ubuntu to test our Win32 builds. It's slow but powerful. News, about Nitpicker? Asked by gio (94.66.17.x) on April 29 2012, 11:07pm Reply on April 30 2012, 3:21pm: Nice! We should release Nitpicker I suppose, though Valgrind is probably the next level (or multiple levels up)... Comment... Question: Tell us honestly - you guys really don't like dealing with MIDI, right? Asked by Ohnoes (78.0.76.x) on April 29 2012, 2:07pm Reply on April 30 2012, 3:21pm: Sure we do. Comment... Question: What do u think about Linus Torvalds' opinion about C++? Asked by Rodrigo (161.148.171.x) on April 27 2012, 6:20pm Reply on April 28 2012, 1:24am: I think he says mostly very reasonable, sensible things, and occasionally says things that are really controversial in order to make a point. Generally I agree with him -- allowing the linux kernel to use C++ would be a Very Bad Thing -- not because C++ is inherently awful, but because it allows (some might even say encourages) people to do terrible things. There are many features of C++ which are absolutely dreadful, and if you avoid those, it can be a rather nice improvement over C. Comment... Question: What's your Twitter name? Asked by Christopher (68.189.52.x) on April 26 2012, 8:05pm Reply on April 26 2012, 8:27pm: JustinFrankel Comment...
