[0:03][Recap and set the stage for the day]
[4:07][Run the game to demo the current situation with regards to the looped live code editing]
[6:11][win32_handmade.h: Introduce a win32_memory_block struct and add a MemorySentinel to win32_state to enable us to iterate over the memory blocks]
[10:07][win32_handmade.cpp: Enable PLATFORM_ALLOCATE_MEMORY() and PLATFORM_DEALLOCATE_MEMORY() to handle multiple linked memory blocks]
[21:20][Note a caveat: This linked list is not thread-safe]
[22:50][win32_handmade.cpp: Make PLATFORM_ALLOCATE_MEMORY() thread-safe]
[25:34][win32_handmade.cpp: Think through how to enable Win32BeginRecordingInput() and Win32BeginInputPlayBack() to handle multiple memory blocks]
[30:11][win32_handmade.cpp: Get rid of MapViewOfFile() and Win32GetReplayBuffer() and other cruft]
[35:48][win32_handmade.h: Introduce win32_saved_memory_block struct and enable Win32BeginInputPlayBack() to play from blocks of that type]
[41:05][win32_handmade.cpp: Enable Win32BeginRecordingInput() and Win32EndRecordingInput() to handle multiple blocks]
[47:03][Reflect on what we've done, run the game, crash in a Win32DeallocateMemory() call and investigate why]
[51:19][Reproduce the bug and investigate what's happening]
[53:23][win32_handmade.cpp: Make the linked list in PLATFORM_ALLOCATE_MEMORY() thread-safe]
[54:22][Run the game and try in vain to reproduce the bug, before describing what was happening]
[55:09][Run the game again and crash in inside KernelBase.dll in Win32BeginInputPlayBack()]
[56:25][win32_handmade.cpp: Make Win32BeginInputPlayBack() pass &BytesRead to ReadFile()]
[57:31][Run the game and find that that fixed it]
[58:55][win32_handmade.cpp: Make Win32BeginRecordingInput() pass &BytesWritten to WriteFile()]
[59:23][Run the game and determine that we're not quite reloading correctly]
[59:59][Q&A][:speech]
[1:00:51][@soysaucethekid][Could you explain the padding you used for the memory struct? I believe you said it was for cache-line stuff, so if you omitted it, would it just result in more cache line misses or would it crash the game?]
[1:03:15][@fangk20][How did you get to where you are today and how did you do it, in terms of coding knowledge?[ref

[1:04:04][@torgdor][It's a bit early to ask, but will there be a HandmadeCon 2017?]
[1:06:28][@jeemjam420][Would you recommend any specific resource for learning C++? So far I've been using the "learncpp" website]
[1:06:45][@zilarrezko][Have you ever used a rope to manipulate strings?]
[1:08:31][@randolfbat][Aren't you going to read in pages that have been deallocated?]
[1:11:51][@snoringtortoise][So with memory systems, do you always try to put extra bits of data at the end to ensure if they ask for memory from a specific address then it doesn't ruin their day?]
[1:13:22][Close it down with a glimpse into the future][:speech]

Cinera 0.7.0 Update Add output parameter to all of hero/code, hero/intro-to-c and hero/misc, preserving the current URLs while allowing different .hmml filenames, notably for hero/misc which now gets sorted chronologically.

Relocate riscy and add newly converted hero The idea here is to reduce the amount of superfluous stuff downloaded to each server running cinera 2017-12-06 22:26:13 +00:00			`[0:03][Recap and set the stage for the day]`
