    It's really in everybody's best interest to define the terms around it, one way or another, otherwise it's full of ambiguity and danger...

Question: Considering that JSFX is homage to Jesus, in your words "It was an homage to Jesus in respect of his best messages -- to be kind, care for other people, etc." what do you think about some Christian people that are pro-guns and "pro-life" (meaning anti-abort)?

Question: Do you think this far right wing wave(Trump, Bolsonaro, Meloni, Boris Johnson...) that took the world by storm in the last 5 -6 years will end soon ? How do you feel about it sympathize/neutral/antagonize with the ideals?

    I hope it ends soon! I can't predict the future. Obviously I think it is a bad thing. Which isn't to say I'm not critical of other (non-fascist) governments, they have their issues that need to be corrected, but they are definitely far less bad.

    I like coffee but don't feel like it needs anything software-wise. I keep it simple: whole beans, hand grinder, french press. Re: podcasts, I have never gotten in to podcasts, I prefer to listen to music.

Reply on October 9 2022, 4:38pm:
    One I really care about is if you have a struct/class with a nontrivial amount of member function code, to prefix the data members of that class with m_ -- both to avoid accidental collisions with local variables, and also to make it obvious from reading the code that the variable in question is a member.

    There are other things that are handy, e.g. making functions that are used only in one file static, which when you're editing you can then rest assured that you don't need to grep the rest of the codebase (just the current file) to see if it is used elsewhere.

Question: I am confused between buying a guitar or a ukulele. Any help? They have different tunings, so that's also another problem to face.

    ukeleles are fun and relatively easier to play, but guitars feel way more versatile so I'd probably go that route

Question: Hello ! In order to write good / safe / maintainable C++ code, what do you think about C++ Core Guidelines and Google Style Guide ? If C++ was not there and you had REAPER in mind, would you bet on Zig or Rust for writing a robust software ? Have a good day ! Best.

Reply on September 28 2022, 7:33pm:
    I haven't read those guide(lines) at length but in general I'm more in favor of a lighter flavor of C++. I haven't used Rust or Zig so I'm not really a good person to ask! "If you didn't have English and you were going to write a book, would you choose Danish or Swedish?"
