Question: your typing doesn't look like QWERTY... are you using Dvorak? Asked by Poop (67.88.171.x) on October 18 2010, 7:29am Reply on October 19 2010, 10:55am (edited at October 19 2010, 10:56am): It is QWERTY, I only know, and have only known, the big Q. Comment... Question: thanks for your kboard videos ! But is this that easy when you're writing code ? (numbers/symbol/text) Asked by fredv (195.6.68.x) on October 18 2010, 4:52am Reply on October 19 2010, 10:56am: Yeah pretty similar -- I know all of the modifiers (I never have to look to see that & is shift-7 etc). Comment... Question: layer problem: all i want is overwrite one layer to another with alpha. Each layer contain images and last layer has all img Asked by ruchira (202.129.232.x) on October 17 2010, 6:52pm Reply on October 19 2010, 10:57am: Just be careful when blitting using LICE_BLIT_USE_ALPHA to a surface which will be the source of a blit using LICE_BLIT_USE_ALPHA, because often you may end up with alpha values you don't expect? Maybe. Comment... Question: How are you going to approach the issue of parallelism when we start getting 100's of cores? OpenMP? Cilk? Asked by Jordan (70.67.190.x) on October 17 2010, 4:11pm Reply on October 19 2010, 10:58am: Hopefully each core will be reasonably fast, and you will be able to synchronize them quickly enough.. but the key is identifying which tasks are latency sensitive (such as record monitoring), and which are not. Comment... Question: Is it possible to use WDL to build app running on linux? If so, where I can to know more about it? Asked by asafonov (80.239.243.x) on October 17 2010, 12:45pm Reply on October 17 2010, 3:24pm: WDL can certainly be used on Linux, much of it is very portable. As far as for building an app goes, SWELL does have the beginnings of the ability to target Linux, though at this point it is mostly very basic UI and not really usable for GUI'd apps. We will probably improve this more (adding improved drawing support, controls, freetype support, etc), someday. Comment... Question: I have 3 LICE_SysBitmap layers. I blitted layer1 to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd with LICE_BLIT_USE_ALPHA flag. result is edges..why? Asked by ruchira (202.129.235.x) on October 16 2010, 8:50pm Reply on October 17 2010, 11:30am: What is in each image? Are you using LICE_BLIT_USE_ALPHA for the first blit? Comment... Question: How ridiculous is this? www.techdirt.com/articles/20100813/12361610620.shtml... Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on October 16 2010, 3:49pm Reply on October 16 2010, 7:26pm: Awful. Comment... Question: Justin, do you remember you had agreed to make a video of you typing at 90WPM on Natural Keyboard :) Asked by fredv (78.231.170.x) on October 16 2010, 1:50am Reply on October 16 2010, 8:45am (edited at October 17 2010, 3:26pm): OK, you get to see my bad left hand-spacebar habits! I haven't had coffee yet, and just did my first time through, so it actually is 90wpm + 2 errors, which it adjusted to 88wpm. Not my best showing, but the basic idea is there. It was on typingtest.com, here is the screenshot of the results: And here is the video (apologies for the shaking, the camera was on this Samsung monitor that kinda bounces when I type, oops). The music is Tame Impala (I love them, so good, mmm). Video in XVID AVI (5mb) Edit: here's one (from a better angle), 97wpm, but 3 errors (oops), post coffee: XVID AVI (5mbish) Edit: the next day, here's a good showing (96wpm) with no errors, with an even better angle: XVID AVI (8mb) Comment... Question: Did Christophe wrote this -> codingdojo.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?KataBankOCR Asked by Poop (67.88.171.x) on October 15 2010, 9:04am Reply on October 15 2010, 7:41pm: I don't think so, but I'd have to ask him to know for sure. Comment... Question: Doh I misspelled forum....oh question, how is 4 coming along Asked by James (68.225.40.x) on October 14 2010, 3:22pm Reply on October 15 2010, 7:41pm: It's coming along great. We are enjoying using branching in Git -- if we were using SVN now we would be hating life. Comment... Question: Which source control software (if any) would you use for a single-developer project? Asked by Jordan (70.67.190.x) on October 14 2010, 2:56pm Reply on October 15 2010, 7:42pm: Git, without a doubt. Comment... Question: How do you find a good balance in the amount of time you spend in the Cockos fourms? Asked by James (68.225.40.x) on October 14 2010, 1:37pm Reply on October 15 2010, 7:42pm: I dunno.. I've been a bit slacking on forum duties lately, but schwa and ollie do a good job. Comment... Question: What do you think of JUCE. Julian is original dev for Tracktion and he even looks like you! Asked by Poop (67.88.171.x) on October 14 2010, 6:57am Reply on October 15 2010, 7:44pm: I think there were a bunch of things that rubbed me the wrong way... the biggest thing is the license; if I want to use one little part of it, I have to either make the code GPL or buy a license... Which makes sense if you build everything on top of JUCE, but isn't terribly useful if you want to use just some specific feature. Comment... Question: Have you ever screamed at you computer? Asked by schmoe (96.55.149.x) on October 13 2010, 7:29pm Reply on October 15 2010, 7:44pm: not at the computer, no, but in it's general direction, sure. Comment...

Comment... Question: How do I use WDL_VWnd in my application? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on October 12 2010, 7:26am Reply on October 12 2010, 6:55pm: It's kinda complicated -- for an example, see SnapEase, maybe... Comment... Question: Would being a bad speller be a big handicap for a programer Asked by James (68.225.40.x) on October 12 2010, 6:44am Reply on October 12 2010, 6:55pm: Probably. Comment...

Question: I noticed your git patches followed the 80 col rule. Do you do that in your own code or do you just stick to the style in file? Asked by MGomes (70.119.11.x) on October 9 2010, 6:36pm Reply on October 9 2010, 7:27pm (edited at October 9 2010, 7:28pm): That's a requirement for submitting patches, I believe. ;) I normally don't have a strict limit on width, and I usually use two spaces instead of tabs.
