[1:33:43][Q&A][:speech]
[1:35:31][@dithinas][Q: In the pre-stream when you were talking about creating command buffers in your theoretical graphics :API, would this be like a buffer you would dynamically assemble GPU machine code into, or is this something that the driver would need to translate for you to the GPU machine code?]
[1:37:29][@derpzerker][Q: Isn't SPIR-V the thing you are talking about?][:language]
[1:39:16][@fableprotector][Unrelated Q: How would a highlight shader work, e.g. if you want to select a sprite you'd want to color the edges of a sprite in some color? Is this done via the stencil buffer?]
[1:41:54][@Brian][Q: What happened with the profiler? Just before you ended the stream, you mentioned you want to re-enable the profiler (I assume it's the [~hero Handmade Hero] one). Was it disabled, or just not tracking for this part of the code?][:"debug system"]
