Question: Are you using iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive or any other big "free" cloid provider? Or do you store your all of your data in a private server/cloud?

Question: how much did you have to sacrifice for your successes Asked by mike s (173.70.39.x) on October 17 2022, 8:55am Reply on October 17 2022, 1:38pm: It rarely feels like sacrifice at the time, usually pretty fun in the process. But in hindsight maybe not the best way to treat your body at times... 1 Comment... Question: What do you make of Elk Audio OS and Elk Live? Asked by bumble (69.172.165.x) on October 17 2022, 4:32am Reply on October 17 2022, 1:37pm: Looks cool but I haven't tried it. In general when I've played with making things embedded (e.g. Jesusonic on a very-minimal linux kernel) I just ended up wanting more of a system available. Comment... Question: What are your thoughts on Carmack going all-in on AGI development? Asked by Myke (73.231.58.x) on October 17 2022, 3:06am Reply on October 17 2022, 1:36pm: I haven't been paying attention so as a result I don't have an opinion Comment... Question: Hey Justin, hope you're well. Do you find the Win32 docs lacking/frustrating? Things are so difficult to lookup unless you know exactly which function/constant/etc you're looking for. Also, I'd imagine you're not, but - do you use any graphics api stuff for Reaper (DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan)? Assuming you do, are there any applications you find frame-by-frame rendering useful over standard GDI blits? Assuming you don't, are there any obvious things you'd refactor to use 'heavyweight' rendering? Thanks :) Asked by jack (146.70.134.x) on October 16 2022, 4:31pm Reply on October 17 2022, 1:35pm: A little bit, but it's also a lot better than the docs for other platforms. It's a lot easier now than it was 25 years ago! Re: GDI vs OpenGL -- we use OpenGL for various bits (video renderers and such) but in general drawing to a bitmap and blitting it seems good enough all around. 1 Comment...

(mainly) Asked by 2022 (2.26.240.x) on October 16 2022, 10:29am Reply on October 16 2022, 12:58pm: They are loosely defined based on who is there and who feels like doing what :) Comment... Question: In the TEMPOENVEX subchunk, could you name what the 10(? with metronome pattern set) PT values mean?

Question: hey!- so after reading some mini dramas about (other softwares not to mention).. to the best of your knowledge.,"is it possible to produce a piece of code,or softwares, that does not have to included mandatory legal licenses,or contractual agreements attached to it"? Asked by 2022 (2.26.240.x) on October 14 2022, 9:13am Reply on October 14 2022, 1:11pm: 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... 1 Comment... 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? Asked by Aloha! (186.210.95.x) on October 13 2022, 3:29am Reply on October 13 2022, 12:13pm: 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. Comment... Question: Hi Justin, how big are you into coffee? Any Plans or already developing software / apps for iphone/android focusing on coffee, music or photography? also how do you feel about big companies trying to get exclusives in podcasting space? Asked by Heramb (165.225.121.x) on October 12 2022, 6:05am Reply on October 12 2022, 12:44pm: 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. 1 Comment...

Question: Hey Justin, hope youre having a nice weekend. Do you have any naming conventions or style standards you are adamant about? Thanks :) Asked by jack (185.213.154.x) on October 9 2022, 1:44pm 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. 6 Comments...
