Question: Apart from REAPER, which software you think you can't live without (basically, very important for you)? Asked by Abhi (106.201.151.x) on July 12 2023, 4:38pm Reply on July 14 2023, 5:26pm: vi, git... Comment... Question: Hey Justin, I started using Winamp since 1997, is there a place for downloading those early versions of Winamp? might be interesting for getting some memories far away before.. Asked by Dave (169.145.207.x) on July 12 2023, 2:22am Reply on July 12 2023, 11:05am: Not sure anymore... Comment... Question: Thinking about the Quick Fun Puzzle from zeof, how about check the sum of the elements, IMO it would disclosure the information of which element is duplicated. right? (to make it a question) Asked by Dave (117.38.4.x) on July 12 2023, 2:05am Reply on July 12 2023, 11:02am: With only a single duplicate that would work, but it can have any number of duplicates so that's a no go. The solutions seem to be related to the solution to this puzzle... Comment... Question: hey jf..so,you might like drums & drum beats..? you may like bass (with a hint of distortions,fx)? some rare pressings, best of series?? using modern digital tech & stem tools? #BUT! will you liike or bookmark a playlist we putting together recently?? (reaper was heavily invloved in the pre processes,,(wavpack recordings & ogg formatting)) link here if u wish... ( youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHv4HS...) ta Asked by 2023 (86.179.190.x) on July 10 2023, 1:27pm Reply on July 12 2023, 11:01am: I gave the Dusty Fingers collection a listen at one point, was fun but also I haven't returned to it Comment... Question: Do you personally use the score editor ? and Schwa? Asked by jasonZ (81.185.165.x) on July 9 2023, 7:58pm Reply on July 12 2023, 11:00am: I don't use it regularly Comment... Question: Quick Fun Puzzle : Given an array of size n, with elements in the range [1, n-1], it contains only one duplicate element example (1,2,2,2,3) , How would you get this duplicate in constant space ? Asked by zeof (156.195.98.x) on July 9 2023, 4:12am Reply on July 9 2023, 12:56pm (edited at July 9 2023, 1:02pm): I assume I can't sort the list because that wouldn't be constant space? Anyway since you don't care about time, the O(N^2) algorithm of checking each element against every later element would be the most obvious way? Edit: ah, your example confused me, I assume your example is (1,2,2,3) rather than the extra 2? And I also assume (1,3,2,2) would be another valid example (e.g. the list is not necessarily sorted). Anyway there's probably some ways to reduce the complexity of the above search, but since you didn't specify a desired performance characteristic I wouldn't bother! 4 Comments... Question: How do you keep being so productive after all these years? I keep seeing new functionality in REAPER constantly and the pace doesn't seem to be slowing down. Do you use a system or otherwise? Asked by Facu (186.13.38.x) on July 8 2023, 11:13pm Reply on July 9 2023, 12:57pm: Maybe it's not really THAT productive? A lot of time has passed! Anyway it's a fun project that I use daily so that makes it easier... Comment... Question: I'd really like to see vector graphics implemented. However, before we reach that stage (which might be 10 or so years in the future according to how you responded previously), is it possible to have more gradations in the graphics/pictures resolutions? i.e. instead of the current 100%-150%-200% to also have the levels of 125%-175%-and stretch this up to 400%? In this was we can design themes that act like they are vectorial, but are raster. Asked by /AND/ (89.205.77.x) on July 7 2023, 6:50pm Reply on July 8 2023, 1:33pm: a theme can define whatever scales it likes, 125%, 350%, whatever Comment... Question: hey jf- did you ever really find software piracy or any other type of copyrighting legislastion/indications to be an actual realworld "problem" or issue? > did you feel same in youth, as today..?? ta Asked by 2023 (86.179.190.x) on July 6 2023, 5:59pm Reply on July 6 2023, 6:16pm: IMO most people want to do the right there, so if products are appropriately priced I don't see piracy as being a big problem. Counterfeit sales etc are a bigger issue since people can be mislead etc. the models created by big dominating businesses suck too. e.g. app stores taking a huge percentage, or music services not fairly distributing royalties... These are systemic problems that are structured against (smaller) copyright holders... 2 Comments... Question: Reaper seems to be used to analyse Audio recordings from airplane blackboxes: youtu.be/reCwGRnloLc?t=2059While this snippet appears to be a reenactment, it could still be used. Asked by Chris (95.168.144.x) on July 5 2023, 6:07pm Reply on July 6 2023, 2:10pm: Who knows what people use it for! Anything... but a reenactment probably says more about the production of the reenactment than actual NTSB investigations... :) Comment... Question: I was wondering how the UI is rendered in Reaper. I assume its no Qt or GTK ( or am I wrong?) I really like the smoothness, low CPU usage and tweakability. Is it native, inherited from winamp, part of WDL?? Asked by pedra (77.245.45.x) on July 5 2023, 9:44am Reply on July 6 2023, 2:10pm (edited at July 6 2023, 2:11pm): Pixels get put together using LICE which is part of WDL... for the various controls there's a lightweight virtual control system we made too. (WDL/wingui/). On Win32 we BitBlt() everything to screen from a DIB, on macOS it draws using Metal typically (speaking of which apparently this is very slow on M2 macs now for some reason grrrrr let me go get one of those) Comment... Question: hey jf - (hows the wrist ?) + do you find brisk fast walking as effective a good run...or? Asked by 2023 (86.179.190.x) on July 4 2023, 11:09am Reply on July 4 2023, 5:45pm: wrist is good! other parts always broken though. :) "effective" is hard to quantify. It's hard for me to get my HR above about 115 on a fast walk (5mph) unless there's a big hill involved... but at a HR of 115 my body knows it would be faster for the same HR by running (6mph or so). But at any rate, for training purposes you need some higher intensity, which is harder to do by walking... 1 Comment... Question: trackpad or trackpoint? Asked by laptop (146.70.197.x) on July 1 2023, 4:10am Reply on July 3 2023, 4:31pm: I can do either but I do prefer the trackpoint. Among trackpads there is a lot of variety, I don't mind the one on the M1 MBA. Comment... Question: hey justin. what do you think of aimp? (not dev nor contributor) Asked by nikolai (51.158.236.x) on June 30 2023, 9:48pm Reply on June 30 2023, 10:49pm: haven't used it, I'm a bit post-media-player at this point Comment... Question: hey jf- are you actually "into" robotics ( mechanical robots of any kind) or advancing nano cybernetic systems? orrrrrr.. keeping human aids all "natural" as possible? ta. Asked by 2023 (86.186.250.x) on June 27 2023, 4:46pm Reply on June 29 2023, 1:34am: No strong opinions. Looking forward to being able to regenerate organs and stuff though. 1 Comment... Question: Hi J. Was Winamp's design inspired by tracker software? Are you still involved? Asked by Gideon (122.58.86.x) on June 24 2023, 3:43am Reply on June 26 2023, 9:25pm: For the player, not really... for visualizations, yeah. Cubic Player was a classic. Comment... Question: hi, does search also search the comments ? Asked by does search (212.30.60.x) on June 23 2023, 3:27am Reply on June 23 2023, 6:14pm: Nope 1 Comment... Question: Any thoughts on lemmy / mastodon / fediverse in general? Are you using any of them? Asked by justwokeup (82.20.198.x) on June 22 2023, 2:29pm Reply on June 23 2023, 6:13pm: Using Mastodon some, seems like a good thing. 1 Comment... Question: hey jf- well if yr ever looking for a spare bike,there is always the mountains some chinese are creating.. i mean,WOW! holy crap. > ( youtu.be/TDfLWFv3ixk) Asked by 2023 (86.186.250.x) on June 21 2023, 8:44am Reply on June 22 2023, 1:50pm: Damn, I wonder how it compares to a modestly-sized auto junkyard (of which there are many thousands and thousands in the US) though. 3 Comments... Question: WDL: Any chance for leading underscore to get removed from include guards in the future? Currently ``only'' lineparse.h behaves nicely with naming conventions. Never had an issue related to that... in fact I like it... Asked by Gio (94.65.220.x) on June 21 2023, 8:07am Reply on June 22 2023, 1:50pm: Ah perhaps... but what's the bother really? (we do have some ifdef _WDL_ in our code that would need to get fixed too) 1 Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
