[2:03:15][Q&A]
[2:03:47][@sadisttrombone][Q: Regarding win calc, the size of the window determines how many buttons are shown. You can either stretch the window vertically or you can press the up arrow button (in the UI) to make the shown buttons shift into the other set like 1/x and e^x]
[2:04:45][@vkar2][Q: I think the error in the color are in the same position where the normals calculation looks funny][:lighting :rendering]
[2:05:43][@radovik][Q: Not sure if you heard, but someone rewrote depends.exe for win 10[ref

[2:08:22][@dragoonx6][Q: Seeing you used emacs without code completion, and now ~4coder, how do you work without code completion? Don't you think it could help you with both productivity and discoverability? I'm a fan of YouCompleteMe for vim]
[2:10:26][@longboolean][Q: When the :lighting is in realtime will that tend to hide some of the more minor artifacts?][:rendering]
[2:11:37][@dragoonx6][Q: Like in this gif[ref

[2:13:05][@dragoonx6][Q: It's showing a heads up display of the possible arguments]
[2:13:56][@sired22][Q: I know finding a bad API is not hard, but out of curiosity did you ever run into an API that was great to work with? One that you seemed to magically just click with?]
[2:17:48][@dragoonx6][What about this gif?[ref
