Question: trying to compile licecap w/ latest wdl on win7 and got bunches of errors... yfrog.com/f/7elicecaperrorp/ Asked by Poop (66.184.76.x) on July 30 2010, 8:09pm Reply on August 3 2010, 9:21am: What compiler are you using? That file (win7filedialog) does compile here using VC2005 and VC6. I think it compiles with VC2008 too. Comment... Question: Time to bring 'Justins Gay Radio' back to the masses news.discovery.com/space/personal-satellite-kit.html... haha :-) Asked by AnalSeducer (71.142.67.x) on July 30 2010, 10:30am Reply on August 3 2010, 9:21am: My brother and I used to think about sending up an Atari800 based satellite, haha. Comment... Question: Why are you so reclusive these days? And why won't the "Human verification process" allow me to enter "Meat Popsicle"? Asked by Dave (24.251.90.x) on July 29 2010, 11:54pm Reply on August 3 2010, 9:22am: I'm not that reclusive, just busy. I do spend lots of time out and about, getting coffee and having cocktails and going to shows and such. Meat popsicle would be nice (as well as "negative, I am a meat popsicle"), but I'm just lazy... Comment... Question: When computer is very very... very busy, any special method to keep winamp continuing playing music without pause? Asked by dave (222.90.231.x) on July 29 2010, 2:10am Reply on July 29 2010, 4:27pm: You would increase its thread priority and maybe also its process priority class. Comment... Question: Justin, do you ever study design & aesthetics etc? If so what difficulties do you face when trying to bring designs to life? Asked by AnalSeducer (71.142.67.x) on July 28 2010, 8:17pm Reply on July 29 2010, 4:29pm: Not explicitly.. I definitely know when something is designed in a way that I don't like, and then I try to avoid doing that. It's all a very intuitive process for me, and while there is trial and error involved, it does not dominate. Comment... Question: Is that office or home space where we see that garage door? Why use a store front or light industrial space for, well, coding? Asked by Gagarin (98.214.222.x) on July 27 2010, 11:06am Reply on July 27 2010, 6:22pm: Office.. Coding happens there and at home, but in that environment you can also play music, test things, etc. Comment... Question: Videos could be good....Just make sure the codec isn't IV50 :p That pudding video took me a while to get 'er going haha peace Asked by CheckOutChannel9 (71.142.94.x) on July 26 2010, 10:15pm Reply on July 27 2010, 6:22pm: Haha yeah IV50 is ancient. Comment... Question: Not to sound like I don't have better shit to do with my time or anything. But will you be adding more pictures sometime? :-) Asked by AnalSeducer (71.142.94.x) on July 26 2010, 8:55pm Reply on July 26 2010, 9:27pm: Yeah maybe. Or videos. Comment... Question: What do you think of programming contests (TopCoder, Google Code Jam, etc.)? Ever tried one? Asked by Eric (96.11.109.x) on July 26 2010, 8:39am Reply on July 26 2010, 9:25pm: I did some ACM contest for highschool kids when I was in highschool. I don't think anybody else could use vi so it wasn't even fair. In retrospect my solutions were really ugly, but I got them done quick. Comment... Question: Hi Justin! What do you think about this project? Does it have a future? asafonov.org/widesktop/ Asked by asafonov (89.207.47.x) on July 22 2010, 10:24pm Reply on July 26 2010, 9:26pm: That's cool. I don't know what the future holds, though. Comment... Question: Wouldn't it be sweet to give reaper a spin on this: goo.gl/nBGl? Yay multi core! Asked by roberttheiii (67.221.94.x) on July 22 2010, 7:20am Reply on July 26 2010, 9:26pm: Haha. Actually an i7 is pretty hot these days. Comment... Question: How would you recommend learning windows programming to someone new to it? Win32 style? Fav resources to learn from? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on July 21 2010, 11:53am Reply on July 26 2010, 9:26pm: That's always a tough question that I have no good answer for. Someday I'll write something, but everything I write ends up being super wordy and full of unrelated nonsense. Comment... Question: whoever requested T-Rex has good taste haha. Ever seen this Documentary? Thoughts? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed2FWNWwE3I Asked by AnalSeducer (71.142.94.x) on July 20 2010, 2:52pm Reply on July 21 2010, 11:36am: Let me watch that. Comment... Question: Ever been here: goo.gl/maps/21Mp? If not - I highly recommend it. Asked by roberttheiii (71.235.42.x) on July 19 2010, 3:16pm Reply on July 21 2010, 11:36am: No, I've ridden my bike past there though... Comment... Question: Aren�t you worried when your private sources codes are in server�s repository? Asked by Eric (83.78.160.x) on July 19 2010, 12:36pm Reply on July 19 2010, 2:59pm: Well, our servers are relatively private. Having said that, I'd be much more worried about losing source code than it becoming public -- losing source code would be completely catastrophic, having it go in to the wild wouldn't be a huge deal (obviously it would have some effect on our business, but nothing compared to losing code). Comment... Question: Have you deleted any unreasonable question(s) from this site? Asked by roberttheiii (67.221.94.x) on July 19 2010, 11:57am Reply on July 19 2010, 2:58pm: Yeah, I think one or two. I forget though. Comment... Question: Have you tried this? @ www.soundhound.com Asked by Dave (222.90.231.x) on July 18 2010, 10:41pm Reply on July 19 2010, 2:58pm: No, but I've tried Shazam, and I can't see paying $5 to try that software... Comment... Question: No, they don't use it at all, not targeted at them. Don't seem to have any pride in their own work either. Asked by THEMike (94.3.226.x) on July 18 2010, 1:53pm Reply on July 18 2010, 8:47pm: Any chance you can subdivide their work into little stuff that can be reused in ways they'd enjoy? For example, you might end up writing a nice XYZ library that they could use to make a tetris game with or something... Or maybe the answer is to figure out a way to get them into the software. I have no idea what it is... I'm just imagining, if I had to get motivated to work on payroll administration software... umm... I might be able to find a way (like ways of making interesting paycheck amounts?). Comment... Question: Do you think you can do this cover for your next jam session? www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4HQbRuWJUU Stay strong brotha m/ Asked by 71.142.94.x (71.142.94.x) on July 18 2010, 1:38pm Reply on July 18 2010, 8:47pm: Haha would have to ask Christophe... Comment... Question: how different is mac-coding, compared to linux and/or windows? Asked by ccernn (80.203.117.x) on July 18 2010, 12:32am Reply on July 18 2010, 11:33am (edited at July 18 2010, 1:22pm): A lot of it overlaps with linux -- OS X is very much BSD-derived, so you have a lot of common things that FreeBSD and Linux have, such as pthreads, standard file APIs, etc. Where it primarily differs is that the recommended way to build GUI stuff is now Cocoa, which is Objective C, so that takes some getting used to. Objective C isn't bad, but it is quite different in syntax from using Win32 or GTK+ for example. There is also a deprecated Carbon API, but one probably shouldn't bother with it at this point. One issue with OS X that I've found is that there are generally about 5 different ways to do the same thing, and often it's hard to figure out which one is best (or even to find most of them). Recent examples include CGBitmapContextCreateImage() -- the obvious way to do something, that is soooo unoptimal. Or if you try to draw text to a RGB buffer, there's lots of choice in how to go about it (and no clear winner). Comment...
