Question: Have you seen Plane9 vis? :) www.plane9.com/ Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on July 25 2016, 12:15am Reply on July 26 2016, 2:35am: Looks neat! Comment... Question: Why did `pete ultimately write so many audio components for WinAMP? Seems like you're pretty well versed in win32 audio! Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on July 24 2016, 10:10pm Reply on July 26 2016, 2:35am: I feel like that was after my time? Comment... Question: Have you considered running gitlab for the central repo? We use it at work. It's tits. Asked by Will (172.56.6.x) on July 21 2016, 6:21pm Reply on July 22 2016, 2:55am: Will look at it, but everything working alright now :) Comment... Question: What's the git workflow for the cockos' team? And how you effectively use merge and rebase? Thanks. Asked by Gio (79.130.179.x) on July 21 2016, 12:07am Reply on July 21 2016, 12:25am: We put releases on master, and almost never rewrite master. For prerelease builds we have a dev-pub branch, which gets pre_* feature branches (and master) merged, and if all of the pre_* branches graduate, the whole thing gets merged back to master (though sometimes we will rewrite dev-pub to remove branches, or revert the merge of a feature branch to remove it). Typically pre_* (or wip_) branches have an implied owner, which doesn't prevent others from committing on those branches, but they do so at the pleasure of the owner. If we want to do a maintenance release, we can always do one from master (ideally). We keep a central repository which we use to synchronize. Comment... Question: Re: UTC is cool. Thinking to move my servers from Slackware to Debian stable or Ubuntu server to get all the apt-get goodness. What do you recommend, have you got any experience with any of them? Or something else... Asked by Gio (79.130.169.x) on July 18 2016, 2:26pm Reply on July 19 2016, 5:22pm: Yeah I'm pretty used to both Debian and Ubuntu. They are very straightforward, but upgrading them is often tricky (weird dependency failures that you have to google for workarounds). Since I mostly use VMs, when upgrading I'll usually do it on a spare clone of the VM so I can throw it away if I screw something up when upgrading. If you go Ubuntu, definitely do one of the LTS versions, if you like to avoid major upgrades. Comment... Question: What timezone are the LoL time-stamps? Asked by Gio (79.130.169.x) on July 18 2016, 8:05am Reply on July 18 2016, 1:28pm: UTC I think Comment... Question: How do you move from one place to another in NY or other city? Driving? Uber?

Definitely prefer to bicycle/walk if possible. Comment... Question: Have you found your asshole gets looser with age? Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on July 14 2016, 11:57pm Reply on July 15 2016, 2:47am: I'm not sure how I would measure or quantify that, but I don't think my output has changed measurably, if that's any help. Comment... Question: When gnutella found a file on the network, how did it get around home routers to connect two clients for file transfer (without having a port forwarded)? Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on July 10 2016, 2:20am Reply on July 11 2016, 5:00pm: It required one of them to have a port mapped Comment... Question: What is the best C / C++ resource to learn audio programming? Asked by Arie (74.90.254.x) on July 8 2016, 11:36pm Reply on July 10 2016, 1:00am: I don't know, but (not C/C++ specific) I've found the RBJ cookbook and The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing to be quite helpful for DSP. Which is a small subset of audio programming... Comment... Question: I have an unusual and valuable (to me) ladspa plugin that I would like to convert to VST. There is nothing even close among available VST plugins. Is it possible? Asked by Barry (209.207.24.x) on July 7 2016, 2:17am Reply on July 7 2016, 3:07pm: Probably easy enough to port, there are also wrappers around too I think Comment...

Question: Re: relative VST (and other paths) - I asked because on Windows USB sticks might not always get the same drive letter... so it would be extremely useful if we could link VST folders to a portable Reaper install without worrying about it. Sorry for not following rules! :$ Asked by EvilDragon (89.164.160.x) on July 4 2016, 5:16pm Reply on July 6 2016, 2:06pm: ko Comment...

Question: Is it possible to set a VST path relative to Reaper's portable folder? Would be nice to have if not. Something like %REAPERPATH%/../VST for example. Asked by EvilDragon (89.164.206.x) on July 3 2016, 7:40pm Reply on July 4 2016, 12:07am: Hmm not that I can think of Comment...

Question: Given the < > synbols in rpp I assume you have a function that reads those kinda like xml? If so, care to share? Asked by PunkyBrewster (108.84.130.x) on June 28 2016, 7:17pm Reply on June 28 2016, 8:07pm (edited at June 28 2016, 8:11pm): There is projectcontext.h/.cpp in WDL, and then you end up doing loops which end up reading a line at a time and parsing the lines with WDL/lineparse.h, with any <XYZ starting a new block (projectcontext also has a function to ignore unknown blocks).
