Question: what's the git workflow between you and the rest of the team? many Qs for a day. boring day here: we call the situation sparila. Asked by gio (94.66.61.x) on July 21 2012, 5:13am Reply on July 22 2012, 3:25am: We all use a common server, and pull/push to it. We make branches for bugfix releases sometimes, and also for new features when the feature is significant enough (otherwise we just do the feature locally then merge or rebase to the main server's master). We also have a couple of machines which monitor a special git branch and make builds from it. Comment... Question: could you add a link somewhere in order to be able to return back to askjf.com homepage after a search? Asked by gio (94.66.61.x) on July 21 2012, 2:51am Reply on July 22 2012, 3:25am: That might be nice. Comment... Question: guidelines for writing a clean, easy to use API? Asked by gio (94.66.61.x) on July 21 2012, 1:48am Reply on July 22 2012, 3:26am: Make something you'd want to use. I'm convinced a lot of ugly COM APIs were never designed to actually be used. Comment... Question: Isn't it an anachronism to say "ship software"? "We're shipping 2.0 next month". It bothers me. Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on July 20 2012, 11:56pm Reply on July 22 2012, 3:26am: It wasn't always, I guess. I guess "ship" for something going via truck, train or airplane is sort of silly too, since it doesn't go on a ship... Comment... Question: Did you or any of your team work on the Acid Pro Project? Asked by Broly (70.122.194.x) on July 20 2012, 1:26pm Reply on July 20 2012, 10:28pm: No, but once upon a time I used Vegas and Acid 4... Comment... Question: Have you done any sculptures based off your fractal animations? Asked by C-Matt (96.52.235.x) on July 19 2012, 2:54pm Reply on July 20 2012, 10:29pm: I have no fractal animations... Comment... Question: which camera did you use for the -w with video-? Asked by gio (94.66.61.x) on July 19 2012, 9:32am Reply on July 19 2012, 2:22pm: Canon T3i (600D), with a 28mm f/1.8 lens. Comment... Question: Have you tried writing something for iOS? Do you see any interesting possibilities on touch interaction? Asked by Bharath Kumar (117.213.188.x) on July 19 2012, 9:16am Reply on July 19 2012, 2:22pm: I have done a few small things, but didn't really get into the touch elements of it. The one I actually use is something that lets me send text + scaled/cropped/images to a HTTP post, for updating my blog (with photos) on the run... I should release that one at some point, but it's kinda ugly (and not user friendly much). Comment... Question: How programmers ended up being the persons you don't want to invite to a party? Asked by gio (94.66.61.x) on July 19 2012, 8:11am Reply on July 19 2012, 2:21pm: I get called a "technicalitist" by my loved ones, maybe that's why? Comment... Question: How do graphics apps like AVS or games calculate FPS? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on July 19 2012, 6:58am Reply on July 19 2012, 2:21pm: Calculate actual FPS or render such that the output looks right at the eventual actual framerate? For the former, usually you'd keep a rolling window of how long each frame took, and show the average (or better yet average and min/max/etc) for the last second or two or five or whatever. Comment... Question: What kind of music are you listening to these days? I need some new ideas. Asked by Lenh (192.55.55.x) on July 18 2012, 10:59pm Reply on July 19 2012, 1:23am: I really love the last 4 Portugal. The Man albums. They are all very different from eachother and very very enjoyable. Comment... Question: Do you lust after a 3d printer? Asked by PinkAsso (208.64.185.x) on July 18 2012, 3:49pm Reply on July 19 2012, 1:22am: No but I hear that they are now starting to make them which are a LCD projector+stepper motor, mmm. Comment... Question: How do you morph a fractal? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on July 18 2012, 10:57am Reply on July 18 2012, 12:46pm: Usually by changing the parameters gradually, I'd guess. Comment... Question: Why are you too old for 3 questions down? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on July 18 2012, 8:17am Reply on July 18 2012, 12:46pm: Too old to enjoy it, perhaps. Comment... Question: Yes, exactly that question. Could you be more specific on the "without" and "unless" (scary) aspect? Asked by Hogan (37.157.249.x) on July 18 2012, 5:15am Reply on July 18 2012, 12:45pm: If you have a mostly blank area in the window and you want to move a rectangle or other primitives around, it would likely be simplest to manually track the mouse events (WM_LBUTTONDOWN/WM_MOUSEMOVE/etc) and update internal state and InvalidateRect() the window. If the window has a lot of objects bound by rectangles, and you want to automate the hit testing and drawing of them, then you could use a WDL_VWnd, but it would require setting up a bunch of extra code to pass mouse events from the win32 windows to the vwnds, and paint, etc. Comment... Question: So, if I want to drag a LICE line, rect ... WDL_VWnd is a bad idea? Asked by Hogan (37.157.249.x) on July 17 2012, 4:46pm Reply on July 17 2012, 6:05pm: To allow the user to position some drawing with the mouse? You could do it using that, or without, both would be pretty easy. But it would be simpler without, unless you have a lot of other stuff going on too. Comment... Question: Checkout these problems. How well could you do? www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/12/facebook_hacker_cup_kicks_off/... Asked by John (24.234.85.x) on July 17 2012, 6:52am Reply on July 17 2012, 3:35pm: I'm too old for that shit. Comment... Question: When you watch milkdrop scenes, do you have a rough idea in your head how effects are coded algorithmically? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on July 17 2012, 12:35am Reply on July 17 2012, 3:35pm: Usually yeah. Comment... Question: Do you ever run into a difficult coding problem and as a result you procrastinate on your project for months? Asked by Steve (218.186.12.x) on July 16 2012, 10:18pm Reply on July 17 2012, 3:36pm: Usually it would be a combination of difficult and uninteresting. Comment...
