Question: Hey, I have heard Windows 11 will be 64 bit only. Will this affect REAPER in any way? It affected when MacOS (catalina, I guess?) was all 64-bit.

Question: Blender has been gaining momentum in the 3D world. Huge companies are starting to support it financially. This happened after Blender had significantly redesigned and improved both the user interface and forkflow. 3 years ago, nobody wanted to use it. Now everything has changed. Newbies start using Blender. Old folks are switching to it from Maya, 3D Max and Zbrush. A huge number of courses are available. Do you envy Blender's success? :)

Why don't I write about it more? That's a good question, I should. Maybe one article could be "why doesn't my compiler warn me about "typedef uint32_t foo; foo bar = ...; if (bar >= 0) { }" ? 3 Comments...

Question: I find it humorous that a bunch of intellectually gifted persons come up with WDL and an army of PhDs with STL. For his reason alone the choice is obvious, possibly due to inheritance and careful evolution. Although, still not sure if it's a great fit of engineering or simply amazing art. Better remain a mystery, don't you think? Thanks for the latest updates ;)
