Question: Would you ever be interested in working on new AVS-related projects? I have been working on learning special effects for almost twenty years now, and even my best efforts can't match what you did back before 2000. In particular I still have no idea how you created presets such as Dynamic Movement, and other code-enabling presets. I use AVS presets as blue Asked by Andrew Hall (75.82.58.x) on May 16 2013, 9:55pm Reply on May 19 2013, 2:09am: I do find vis stuff interesting still, but unsure of what makes sense to work on. AVS is open source, of course... Comment... Question: Awesomesauce, mr. Justin. Forbes! Asked by EvilDragon (88.207.79.x) on May 14 2013, 7:01pm Reply on May 16 2013, 12:36pm: Hah, yeah. Comment... Question: I was reading this paper queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2484010 when suddenly "Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult" kicked in from the radio. I thought that this is not a coincidence... I should send this to Justin, he knows best! No Q. ;) Asked by gio (94.66.14.x) on May 11 2013, 9:21am Reply on May 16 2013, 12:36pm: I have a fever.. Comment... Question: What is your take on adobe's new subscription only licensing model? Asked by Druid (108.227.207.x) on May 10 2013, 5:02am Reply on May 10 2013, 12:34pm: Mainly: overpriced. If it was the full CS for $10/month, they'd probably get WAY more users... Comment... Question: What do you think are currently the most innovative products for DAW/VST/Hardware? Asked by Mick (203.201.154.x) on May 9 2013, 10:51pm Reply on May 10 2013, 12:35pm: Hmmmmmmm I dunno. Comment... Question: I'm interested to know why more modern versions of VC++ crash when compiling your code? Why would that be? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on May 9 2013, 7:14pm Reply on May 9 2013, 9:58pm: I think it was a bug, that was probably fixed. I started compiling REAPER in vs2012, which worked fine, except a lot of the code we use relating to WDM-KS/DirectShow/DX plug-ins is a complete pain in the ass to get working. So I sort of gave up on it. Comment... Question: Are we doomed? :| Asked by travis (70.178.147.x) on May 9 2013, 3:31am Reply on May 9 2013, 9:58pm: No? Comment... Question: What would you do if the source code to Reaper got leaked? Pretend it didn't happen, or embrace and open source it? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on May 8 2013, 9:46pm Reply on May 9 2013, 12:19am: We would not open source it, no; we would do everything we could to discourage its distribution and of course prevent anyone else from using it. Comment... Question: Re: the last question - should we assume from your answer that your wife doesn't read this page? :D Asked by schmoe (216.232.39.x) on May 5 2013, 3:01pm Reply on May 5 2013, 7:22pm: or that she is a reasonable person... :) Comment... Question: Who is the smartest person you've ever met? Asked by Mick (101.165.16.x) on May 3 2013, 10:55pm Reply on May 5 2013, 1:36pm: Good question, and how would I know? The answer is probably not what I would think. If you replaced "smartest" with "best at xyz" that might be easier. Comment... Question: Any particular reason? Did you learn how to use it before switching back? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on May 1 2013, 7:45pm Reply on May 1 2013, 9:15pm: I didn't use it long enough to get hooked, but I learned a few things. Just laziness really. Comment... Question: Have you given SublimeText2 a try? Great features! 1p1e1.tumblr.com/post/14262857223/9-reasons-you-must-install-sub... Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on May 1 2013, 6:38pm Reply on May 1 2013, 7:02pm: I have, but I keep going back to vim... Comment... Question: I'd like to associate a file extension with an icon and a program in Explorer, where can I found a code example of this? (Using just Win32 and C/C++.) Asked by Rodrigo (187.58.227.x) on May 1 2013, 4:14pm Reply on May 1 2013, 5:37pm: The classic way* of doing this is to set the appropriate registry keys (HKCR.extension(default string) to your appnamestring, then HKCRappnamestring(default string) gets description, subkeys for DefaultIcon, Shell, etc. Look at the way old versions of Winamp write it, and you get the idea. I never do this in C anymore, as NSIS makes it a lot less work... * There's probably a more "correct" way to do this in this day and age, but I don't know what it is... Comment... Question: thx. any chance lstrcpyn impl can be split from swell.cpp? used in swell-gdi, but compiling swell.cpp requires loads of other deps Asked by olilarkin (144.32.204.x) on May 1 2013, 1:48pm Reply on May 1 2013, 2:40pm (edited at May 1 2013, 2:42pm): Ah yeah, I can make it use lstrcpyn_safe from wdlcstring.h... btw you can email me or we can do this on the WDL forum =) Comment... Question: could you explain the latest SWELL change WRT ATSUI/CoreText? is CoreText now default for 32bit? Asked by olilarkin (144.32.204.x) on May 1 2013, 9:19am Reply on May 1 2013, 12:28pm: Yeah, CoreText is used on 10.5+ for 32 and 64 bit, and ATSUI is only used on 10.4. Turns out, CoreText is quite a bit faster than ATSUI... Comment... Question: Any tips on how to get started with CUDA programming? You're sort of my hero dude, don't ruin it.(not to put any pressure on you) Asked by MrKB80 (99.174.80.x) on April 30 2013, 10:07pm Reply on May 1 2013, 12:28pm: I haven't done any CUDA programming, sorry. Comment... Question: Whynot use google music? It's free. :) Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on April 29 2013, 5:56pm Reply on May 1 2013, 12:28pm: Ah nice. Comment... Question: I understand about Winamp Dev. I got in on amazon cloud player early so have an unlimited account when I bought one song. Just a pita to upload my music (350 gigs). Any ideas? Asked by Justin (107.6.95.x) on April 29 2013, 2:15am Reply on April 29 2013, 2:16am (edited at April 29 2013, 2:17am): It'll probably match a lot of it to their catalog... I uploaded 60gb of my own content, that took a while. At any rate, their upload tool isn't bad, so you can use that and just be patient over a couple of months. Comment... Question: What are some ideas you would implement into Winamp? Please tell me better Mac support? And iPhone syncing would be on the list :-) Asked by Justin (107.6.95.x) on April 28 2013, 3:45am Reply on April 28 2013, 7:09pm: Good luck with those :/. Honestly I wouldn't particularly want to work on Winamp again -- been there, done that, meh. I do like Amazon's cloud player now, though. Comment... Question: Glad to hear that you solved the AVX mystery, some very informative stuff came out this. Anyway, from your experience what's the best scheme for handling error codes? some choose to return 0 for success others for failure, etc. I tend to like 0 for success but then if the code contains and boolean returns usually the end result is contradiction in comparison Asked by gio (79.131.37.x) on April 27 2013, 8:11pm Reply on April 27 2013, 11:20pm: Consistency is the most important for sure! I prefer for things to not have errors, though, unless absolutely necessary... Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
