Asked by mimard (81.240.131.x) on December 29 2009, 4:57am Reply on December 30 2009, 10:02pm: I'd hope that they love me for who I am, rather than my accomplishments ;) Comment... Question: Do you guys use CVS, subversion, or git? Asked by Will (68.96.206.x) on December 28 2009, 8:53pm Reply on December 28 2009, 10:47pm: Subversion. I like a lot of aspects of git, but aren't about to migrate just yet. It seems that with a bit of work one could make svn support some of the good aspects of git (specifically, I'd like to be able to make a clone of the svn repository locally, even if there's no way to easily merge it back to the main repos). Comment... Question: How many (3rd-party) softwares have you paid for your iPhone? Tell me some of the most used please. Asked by Dave (222.90.231.x) on December 28 2009, 1:24am Reply on December 28 2009, 10:46pm: Quite a few.. I guess Colloquy is one. It's an IRC client, and combined with some custom (unreleased) software, it's very useful. Also I'm a fan of Air Sharing, BART/NYC Subway maps, Bejeweled 2, RDP lite, Words with Friends, etc. Comment...

Comment... Question: What editor(s) do you use for programming and compiling C++ on Windows? Asked by Phillip (72.208.242.x) on December 26 2009, 6:48pm Reply on December 26 2009, 11:18pm: VC++ 6.0, mostly... Comment... Question: If your friends know you're rich, do you feel compelled to get them something more obviously decent than $15? Asked by Will (75.23.217.x) on December 25 2009, 3:07pm Reply on December 25 2009, 11:18pm (edited at December 26 2009, 11:17pm): What makes you think I have friends? Seriously though, we usually buy each other 18 packs of MGD... Or Coors light. Comment... Question: Do you heavily utilize multiple cores in reaper to make your algorithms more efficient? (parallel programming skillz) Asked by Will (75.23.212.x) on December 24 2009, 3:28pm Reply on December 24 2009, 10:06pm: REAPER is very multithreaded, but it does not make our algorithms more efficient -- rather, it allows you to run more plug-ins, etc... Comment... Question: Did you thought that no one would find the "hidden" link to the admin control panel in AskJF? =p Asked by Fergo (189.4.55.x) on December 24 2009, 9:57am Reply on December 24 2009, 9:59am: I figured people would, hopefully they won't guess the l/p.. ;) Comment...

Comment... Question: Why did you choose js as the scripting language for Reaper? Was it just familiarity, or was there a technical factor? Asked by Krister (99.64.14.x) on December 23 2009, 9:33pm Reply on December 24 2009, 9:58am: JS is actually its own language, not "javascript", and it is implemented using EEL2 (part of WDL), which is derived from EEL, which was the expression evaluation library used for AVS (thanks Francis!). So it really just evolved... Comment... Question: How did [you] get that good [at programming]? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1012705 Asked by hn-anon (76.69.68.x) on December 23 2009, 8:12pm Reply on December 24 2009, 9:57am: Haha... errr Comment... Question: What's your most hated perseverative coding-mistake? Asked by Nico (87.78.73.x) on December 23 2009, 5:14pm Reply on December 24 2009, 9:57am: This is sort of a crappy answer, but probably not testing things thoroughly enough -- so cockiness, I suppose ("that code will TOTALLY work."). Comment... Question: Why don't you code projects for linux? Asked by admin (96.255.209.x) on December 23 2009, 4:24pm Reply on December 24 2009, 9:56am: Hmm, I've done some stuff, such as NINJAM, for linux. Generally it's not an enjoyable platform to dev on. Offscreen rendering in X11/GTK/etc is a pain, generally. No easy way to create a surface that you can both manipulate pixels, and draw on using OS primitives (such as text drawing). If someone wants to finish swell/gtk, I might start developing more on Linux ;) Comment... Question: Who is Oscar? Asked by Will (75.23.212.x) on December 23 2009, 3:20pm Reply on December 23 2009, 4:12pm: Probably either my nephew or a Saint Bernard? Comment... Question: How do you keep a parent window without xp theme and all the child windows xp themed? just curious... 8) Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on December 23 2009, 11:09am Reply on December 23 2009, 4:12pm: Dunno, maybe by manually enabling it for the children? Comment... Question: On the same note, is your wife a leet programmer as well? Asked by Gangsta (67.88.171.x) on December 23 2009, 10:43am Reply on December 23 2009, 4:11pm: Nope, she's a badass with a chef's knife, though... Comment... Question: Does your wife use Reaper? Asked by James (68.225.40.x) on December 23 2009, 10:35am Reply on December 23 2009, 4:11pm: No, but she has no need for it. My sister, on the other hand, uses PTLE. Barf. It's not right. Comment...
