[2:03:38][@ratchetfreak][Q: The LEN, NLEN is so the decompressor can resync with a compressor if a block got corrupted (and the compressor emitted an empty block) by looking for the bytes 0000FFFF, mostly handy for byte streams][:compression]

[2:05:26][Fix PNGFilterReconstruct() to correctly filter Paeth][:parsing]
[2:06:24][@geekengale][Q: Did I see for(;;) in your code? What's that for / how does it work?][:language]
[2:07:56][@john_diresta][Q: In the :memory window when you were writing the "decoded" pixel (non-compressed 8x8) you were writing to some memory that you have not allocated, accordingly to the ASCII representation, there were some strings about a path in windows]
[2:09:16][@Brian][Q: In Day 055 when you create the hash table, you added your TODO on getting a better hash. Other than for educational purposes investigating better hashes, what kinds of problems would you start to see if the hash was not good enough? Like would it pop-up when you are profiling or something? Would you get any errors?][:"data structure"]
[2:11:09][@sharlock93][Q: There is a VS plugin that lets you see images in memory. It's called Image Watch. Was pretty useful when I did the PNG decoding][:parsing]
[2:11:38][@john_diresta][Q: Oh okay, it's that it looked strange. Usually it's filled with 0xDD of 0xCD if I remember correctly, or maybe it's just for stack :memory?]
[2:13:22][@uplinkcoder][Q: Try a big empty image which compresses very well]
