[4:55][@vateferfout][@handmade_hero Hello, it's nice to finally be able to catch a stream live]
[5:11][@ivereadthesequel][@handmade_hero Hey [@cmuratori Casey], it's my birthday today and I'm glad to catch some [~hero Handmade Hero] on it! Woo!]
[5:48][Desire a sponsor for [~hero Handmade Hero]]
[6:54][@simpalaxy][Q: You mentioned on Twitter being interested in a hiring process that includes an option for people to record themselves doing their normal programming work. Is there a way you think the industry could be led to feasibly adopt that?]
[9:26][@ivereadthesequel][@handmade_hero Had you seen the RLM parody of those "nerdbox" services that send you some cheap stuff in a box every month?]
[10:33][@culdevu][Q: I started my first programming job a couple months ago and have been thrown into an unfamiliar codebase a couple of times now. I wouldn't have said so previously, but now I'd say that the hardest part of learning a new codebase is the :threading. That stuff can get crazy if it's not thought out carefully beforehand. Thoughts?]
[19:30][@blaster_junior][Q: Can you explain cache misses and how to avoid them? I'm coming from the Java world and never had to think about that][:hardware :performance]

[2:48:40][@cultofrig][Q: @handmade_hero 64-byte lines are pervasive due to the burst size of DDR controllers. And yes, Arm also moved from 32-byte to 64-byte][:fabrication]

[2:51:35][@cubercaleb][Q: If the probability of failure for one chip is P(F), and the probability of failure for two combined chips is denoted P(FC), then P(FC) = 2 * P(F) - P(F) * P(F)][:fabrication :mathematics]

[3:01:38][@cubercaleb][Q: I over simplified. It should just be Bayes' theorem and these events should be independent, so just multiply the failure rate][:fabrication :mathematics]
