Question: Where can I find some info about the Rrreeaaa algorithm? Did you implement using EEL2/JSFX? I love it, thanks.

    I should publish it, it's very simple (a couple hundred lines).. it's based on the algorithm in the JSFX spectral hold plug-in.

Question: hi Justin, I've already tried many options but I haven't found a solution to the problem, it's what. I work in the reaper, on the old laptop (lenovo t510 i7 620m 8GB nvidia nvs3100m). now I have Windows 7 and Debian installed on different ssd disks, currently I work with a movie sound, in reaper uploaded video for playback during mixing. And on debian this video is very bad played, while on windows 7 everything is just perfect. and the problem is not only in video, even when processing music, the same proje

Question: Have you thought of packaging Reaper Linux as an Ubuntu Snap and Fedora Flatpak? If not, perhaps you could explain a little why not? Thanks.

Question: Justin, can I somehow teach myself how to code (C++ ?) by examining the WDL code? I acquired so many books on programming but still do not get how to start making a music notation editor.
Asked by Pashkuli (84.9.31.x) on May 16 2022, 8:40pm
Reply on May 17 2022, 12:50am:
    That would be a very difficult way to learn, it would like learning Hungarian from a menu at a restaurant... A music notation editor is a very complex thing! It's probably better to start with smaller tasks.

Question: I'm learning front-end web dev and feels like it's always something new re-inventing the wheel a little bit. Any advice for sticking to a single stack or career path or in life in general? Feels like "I shouldn't marry this framework/stack because something else will come out".

Reply on May 14 2022, 9:01pm:
    Definitely good to learn overall skills in addition to the specifics of a particular API/framework (the latter you can look up, overall skills let you know what you're looking for or how to find it)

Question: It seems that your "small, cross-platform, open-source application which could fuck with the various crypto networks" has been successful. Congratz for having done that in secret! :D

Question: Are MiniZip64_Changes.txt:5:7 typos intentional? You can safely ignore the Q if it supposed to be something funny for native speakers - no need to explain.

Reply on May 8 2022, 12:49pm:
    Those came from the original zlib copy, our only additions are the WDL-related lines. I suppose we should remove that file and use MiniZip64_info.txt instead

Question: How do you give rest to your eyes (and your body), considering that you have to work 10-15 hours per day (am I right?) in front of your computer?

    10-15 hours a day happens extremely rarely these days, it was more common in my 20s

Question: What's the wildest math concept you've learned about or had to deal with? Or maybe a CS one.
Asked by Beto (177.228.208.x) on May 6 2022, 5:14pm
Reply on May 7 2022, 9:17pm:
    I dunno about math or CS, but I read somewhere recently how galaxies that are extremely far away can look closer than galaxies that are closer, because when the light originated from the really far-away galaxy, the universe was smaller, which makes the galaxy look larger. Or something.
