Please share your experience as a programmer) Are you using any programming paradigm (TDD, Agile, etc.)? Are you using design patterns? How do you not get lost in such a huge code? And. Do you use any time management methods? How do you keep your interest in work, do you experience disappointment or depression when the work is monotonous? Asked by Alex K. (176.98.225.x) on October 17 2021, 10:07pm Reply on October 18 2021, 2:56am: No programming paradigm explicitly. Design patterns: nothing explicit either, but after doing this for almost 25 years I'm sure they have evolved into being. Getting lost: it's not _that_ much code, really, but when you need to figure out where something is, there are a few good starting places to pull a thread and git grep to unravel it. It's a labor of love so time management isn't really an issue. When I was younger I would program for long intervals at a time. I can't do that anymore, these days at most an hour or two at a go. Monotony isn't really an issue, sometimes there's tedious things that are repetitive, so I'll either break them up into manageable chunks, or figure out a way to automate it (even if the latter takes more time, it can be more fun). Getting outdoors or recording music are always good things when I find myself down (which happens!). Other thought worth mentioning: it's always good to make your life as easy as possible. So for example, make it fast/easy to compile things, and make/post test builds. 1 Comment... Question: Sorry to bother you jf, I am really trying to understand and use MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent, but I can't reach to any answer :( If I get it right the MIDI info is packed inside the buf in a string packed. I should then use string.unpack(some_string, buf). I really don't know what to put in some_string in string.unpack as I would need to reverse engineer how it was packed. >.< Sorry if I got it all wrong also. I am since the release of this function trying to understand it. Asked by DdSL (201.48.183.x) on October 16 2021, 5:32pm Reply on October 17 2021, 12:00am: Each message is a string of binary data.. so you can use string.byte(str,1) which should return 0x90, for example, etc. 2 Comments... Question: propb not right place: but can you please please PLEASE update the reaplugs now? TIA. Asked by unnamed1 (2.25.95.x) on October 16 2021, 1:39pm Reply on October 17 2021, 12:00am: Hmm it's sort of the opposite, to add cool stuff ReaPlugs are a weight that holds them back. So probably not? 2 Comments... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
