[2:08:31][Q&A][:speech]
[2:08:53][@nick_19992][Q: Hi, I'm waiting for your Star Code Galaxy[ref
    site="Star Code Galaxy"
    url=https://starcodegalaxy.com/], but meanwhile, reading K&R.[ref
        author="Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie"
        title="The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition"
        url=https://archive.org/details/CProgrammingLanguage2ndEditionByBrianW.KernighanDennisM.Ritchie] Do you think I should be able to solve all exercises one by one or I could skip them and continue with the text and get back to them later? For example, before chapter one there's an exercise to remove comments from a C program and I'm having trouble to solve it at this stage. Thank you][:language]
[2:10:47][@vironacorus][Q: Do you think that (possibly optional) :memory safety features are desirable to have in languages? Or should it be the programmer's job?][:language]
[2:14:10][@iostream21][Would you like to participate in our regular competition for JavaScript and TypeScript developers? Prize fund: $100]
[2:15:32][@exp_ix][Q: Do you think that using void * as some blank is data good practice? For example, if you have a somewhat generic struct called item, and then based on what item type it is its void * data points to a different struct that describes that item type][:language]
[2:19:58][@recursivechat][Q: Do game engines use a common library to import assets from, say, Maya / Blender?[ref
    site="RAD Game Tools"

[2:21:50][@gumboatdiplomat][Q: Watched your design chat with [@naysayer88 Jon], which was really cool. Are you moving into designing the gameplay of [~hero Handmade Hero]?]
[2:22:27][@vironacorus][Q: If I wanted to make a game with a :modding interface or a lot of items, how should I go about it? In both cases union-based polymorphism that you just described don't seem the best solution]
[2:24:54][@nick_19992][Q: Do you recommend reading a book about Win32 :API to begin the course (like Petzold's[ref

[2:25:07][@svemirkovic][Q: Do you already have something on your agenda after you finish [~hero Handmade Hero]?]
