    No, we create a process manually and use WDL/shm_msgreply

Question: When compiling audio related project, I have two options! static and dynamic CRT. which one should I use to get higher performance? Will I get SIMD boost automatically when using dynamic CRT?
Asked by Ruchira (123.231.127.x) on January 11 2019, 3:49am
Reply on January 11 2019, 1:17pm:
    I don't think it matters much in that context, but with recent MSVC compilers, a static CRT will use one of your precious FLS slots, of which there are not too many, which can be problematic if hosted in an application that hosts a lot of plug-ins.

Question: Hey Justin, I'm your cousin Jesse. I'm going to UVM for Music Technology and Business and was hoping you could give me advice on where to find a good internship.
Asked by Jesse Leibman (76.19.85.x) on January 10 2019, 9:33pm
Reply on January 11 2019, 1:58am (edited at January 11 2019, 1:19pm):
    Hah, you can always email me -- I'll answer you here though since I assume you'd want the public answer. A) I don't know because I've never had one. I have a friend who runs a studio that takes interns, I'll ask him what his advice would be and I'll add it to this post.

    My friend replies:
      This is a tough question to answer without a lot more context and info.

      I think Jesse needs to first figure out what a "good internship" means for them. What do they want to learn? Is it important that they get paid? Does locality matter?

      Music technology and business seems like such a weird combination to me (I have no idea what Jesse is studying from the title alone-- is it microphones, synths, or phat beats, or how to get plays for people distrokid style...).

      Sorry if this wasn't much of an answer...

Question: Hi Justin. Can REAPER software be accessed by a third party application? Your expertise in this area would be very helpful. Thanks.
Asked by Joseph (50.192.91.x) on January 9 2019, 6:17pm
Reply on January 10 2019, 1:36am:
    Probably worth asking this in the developer forum (with more clarification on what you mean by "accessed")...

Question: Hi Justin. Are you using a password manager like keepass or browser internal storing of passwords?
Asked by zacki (93.208.242.x) on January 7 2019, 9:43pm
Reply on January 7 2019, 10:16pm:
    I'll use browsers for some non-important passwords, but for the important stuff I use a outdoor paper book with pencil, which is labelled cryptically and only includes part of the information (the other part(s) are memorized). The often-used ones get memorized by nature, too...

Question: Have you ever had any kind of anxiety or depression issues?
Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on January 6 2019, 7:50pm
Reply on January 7 2019, 1:27pm:
    There are times where I inexplicably feel that everything in my life is wrong and hopeless. It can be overwhelming... reminding myself that I won't feel that way forever seems to help.

Question: I see in your WDL repo 'from [short commit hash(?)]' in the commit msgs. What purpose serves this?
Asked by nfof (94.134.90.x) on January 5 2019, 3:38am
Reply on January 5 2019, 12:21pm:
    We pull changes from our private repository to the public WDL one, those commit hashes are for our reference.

Question: Do you listen to Vinyl? From a sonic only perspective, do you think there is any benefit to analog?

    I do sometimes and it has a nice feel and ritual but I don't think it's necessarily better. Just different.

Question: I think it is sensible to think that people learn things best when they "tinker with it". What sort of simple coding projects can be worked on, just for fun, that are enjoyable yet good for learning?

    That depends on what appeals to you... It's gotta be interesting enough to motivate you!

Question: Is there a design constraint that TypedBuf does not provide operator= and CopyFrom? In some cases I just use GetHeapBuf, etc, but I would love to hear the reasoning behind the decision. Excellent stuff, thanks!
Asked by Gio (79.130.181.x) on December 31 2018, 2:42am
Reply on December 31 2018, 2:44am:
    No need -- HeapBuf implements the copy operator, and TypedBuf just uses a HeapBuf, so you can do:
    WDL_TypedBuf<foo> a = b;

    It’s not terribly hard but the Culture series by Iain M Banks is a favorite.

Question: I'm trying to resize dock depending on the theme and I thought it would be a simple matter of using SNM_GeSettIntConfigVar to change "docker2_right" but it doesn't get it. How come some variables from REAPER.ini are exposed to extensions and others are not? Is there some hack to get the rest?
Asked by John (93.138.8.x) on December 29 2018, 5:07pm
Reply on December 29 2018, 8:15pm:
    Changing things isn't necessarily safe, because a lot of things are not re-read from the config etc. This sort of thing belongs in the dev section of the forum at any rate.

Question: Did you ever look into lua obfuscation. I see people recommend precompiling to achieve the same thing. Would that work with REAPER (I draw from previous experience where I couldn't make REAPER run pyc files). Oh, and merry Christmas to you, Cockos team and the rest of your gang!
