Question: Do you fasting? Asked by chris (77.64.160.x) on April 6 2022, 10:06am Reply on April 6 2022, 5:15pm: No, the closest thing I'll do is a) a 6 hour plane ride or b) going for an easy 90 minute run, after which I'm very hungry. And of course sleeping. 3 Comments... Question: Answer fast : what is the first good memorie that comes to you right now? Asked by Notjim (187.71.155.x) on April 6 2022, 8:58am Reply on April 6 2022, 5:15pm: My first response was to interpret "first" as in "earliest", and it was of climbing up a pear tree as a young kid. Comment... Question: JavaScript or Python? Several plain functions or a class? Return whenever you can or, once at the end? Asked by musicalcode (136.226.74.x) on April 6 2022, 4:34am Reply on April 6 2022, 5:17pm: Personally I'd go javascript. Plain functions or a class -- depends on how much instance-specific data is involved? If a long function -- return whenever you can (and if using C++ or whatever, use object-scoping and destructors to handle cleanup), if a short function then whatever works Comment... Question: I know this does not represent legal or tax advise (i'll get that later:P) but which country would you recommend setting up a company (not physical building or anything) just to register there i mean Asked by QUestion (188.166.174.x) on April 5 2022, 3:05pm Reply on April 5 2022, 8:46pm: I'd do it where you live! Comment... Question: in lua reascripting if I have a string that I got from a track like "userdata: 0000000013CD6010" can I return it back to as userdata type? without looking into GUIDs? Asked by Abacaxi (189.112.40.x) on April 5 2022, 7:43am Reply on April 5 2022, 8:47pm: Not that I know of Comment... Question: Would you mind adding version git tags to the ninjam repo so it's easier for packagers to pick up? Ideally including the module name, for example ninjamsrv/v0.080 Asked by cbix (89.1.50.x) on April 4 2022, 11:37pm Reply on April 5 2022, 8:47pm: Hmm that's poorly defined anyway, would be a lot of work to figure that out, sorry 1 Comment... Question: Can Reaper compose music like this Chrome experiment? If not, when? artsandculture.google.com/experime... Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on April 4 2022, 9:31pm Reply on April 5 2022, 8:47pm: Hah nice. REAPER could be used to do that but not directly 1 Comment... Question: I'm trying to catch my forth wind as a programmer. Do you have any ideas for an assignment? I've been submitting answers to the test questions on hackerrank.com Asked by Jesse Campbell (173.63.46.x) on April 4 2022, 12:14am Reply on April 5 2022, 8:48pm: Writing forth? no idea, was just reading about that language... Comment... Question: What's the purpose of gfx.getsyscol()?It's undocumented as far as I can see... Asked by Mespotine (79.235.143.x) on April 3 2022, 6:27pm Reply on April 3 2022, 10:29pm: for the pin mapper jsfx to get the dialog window background color. the parameter to it is currently ignored but it shouldn't be (we should update it before documenting) Comment... Question: If you get lots of money to spend in one particular thing, just one, which is that thing? (it can be anything, like phone, computer, camera, food, shoes, upgrading furniture... anything) Asked by Abhi (27.58.189.x) on April 3 2022, 3:50pm Reply on April 3 2022, 10:30pm: I'd say where you live has probably the biggest impact? Comment... Question: so its been some years..did you ever reavisit the infamous "llama" for a here+now photo shoot? (apparently they can live upto 30years or so) Asked by 2022 (31.124.45.x) on April 2 2022, 10:46pm Reply on April 3 2022, 10:30pm: Aww no that would be nice though Comment... Question: What are some big new features coming to Reaper? Asked by btonebeatz (104.35.78.x) on April 2 2022, 7:35am Reply on April 2 2022, 3:40pm: See the "Note" above. We have a public pre-release forum, if you're curious about our development process. Comment... Question: Why does Reaper have an option for 39bit int? What is the significance or history of this bit depth? Asked by Griffin (108.185.250.x) on April 1 2022, 1:10am Reply on April 1 2022, 2:16am: If you want to emulate certain other DAWs integer summing, you can. There's no reason to, though. It's all a subset of 64-bit FP. 1 Comment... Question: have you written any glsl code? and is that code type suitable for converting to reaper's video processor? (having access to over 7000 current shaders) Asked by 2022 (2.26.163.x) on March 31 2022, 11:11am Reply on March 31 2022, 7:19pm: Yeah, the last thing I wrote was a YUY2 shader for reaper's win/linux opengl output. Fun! Been pondering making reaper's video processors support GL, but haven't gotten around to it. 1 Comment... Question: Do you type normally like most people or do you touch-type? As touch-typing is very beneficial for coders & developers. Asked by Abhi (27.58.106.x) on March 31 2022, 9:29am Reply on March 31 2022, 7:19pm: Don't most people touch-type? Comment... Question: celeb newsflash:: do you think recent slap by will smith / chris rock was justified? and do you think this leaves negative effects for highly suggestable,impressionable minds that idolize such "icons" of entertainment industry? Asked by 2022 (2.26.163.x) on March 29 2022, 12:31pm Reply on March 29 2022, 3:44pm (edited at March 29 2022, 3:46pm): I can't think of any instance where violence, even symbolic violence like a slap, is an appropriate response to words. Not sure that's the best place to focus our attention, though: e.g. the mayor of the city I live in is sanctioning violence against those without homes. 3 Comments... Question: A philosophical question: do you think, Reaper releases, that were replaced by the next release within a day are more prone to sadness and feelings of being neglected than releases that last weeks in the spotlight of the download page? Asked by Mespotine (79.235.143.x) on March 28 2022, 8:10pm Reply on March 29 2022, 2:56am: I think all releases share a common consciousness and experience the spotlight simultaneously and communally. But I don't have evidence to back it up. Comment... Question: Hi Justin! I was wondering if you have any stats (or a guess) on what percentage of REAPER users are male vs. non-male? Do you collect this type of data from users? (age, demographic, country of origin, gender) Asked by IDDQDSound (67.68.160.x) on March 28 2022, 9:19am Reply on March 28 2022, 3:33pm (edited at March 28 2022, 3:34pm): No idea and we don't collect any info like that. We do know the country of billing address for purchases, and if I remember correctly about 55% was non-US vs 45% US. 2 Comments... Question: Hey; I had a question about slow x87 code translation on M1 Macs. Have you given any more thought to writing a dynamic library that handles these incredibly slow instructions for Rosetta2? Wine users have complained about slow 32bit games on Macs since the first M1 chips came out and I imagine such a library would be a big help there too. Did your digging into REAPER performance give you any idea of how large of an undertaking this might be? Thanks, love REAPER. Asked by yam99 (72.182.45.x) on March 27 2022, 8:17pm Reply on March 28 2022, 1:45am: I don't think you could do it, you'd have to rewrite rosetta2... apple could do it, if they cared, but they probably don't :/ Comment... Question: Suppose if I want to create a software, game or anything, which requires coding. Are all the sources available on internet, let say if I stuck somewhere, from where I can get help? Any website or service do all this kind of help? For free or paid, doesn't matter. I am pretty sure you also talk help from stuffs, maybe from big fat books or manuals or some paid online courses or from some paid websites? And all other indie developers too. Right? If yes, then can you guide us a bit? About all the process? Asked by Abhi (122.181.85.x) on March 27 2022, 2:18pm Reply on March 28 2022, 1:46am: There's a lot of good references, but references aren't the same as answers to your questions, which might be easily answered and might be unanswerable and might need to be solved creatively? so it's hard to say. 1 Comment...
