[3:37][Describe our new light_voxel_cell :lighting scheme][:speech]

[1:52:36][Q&A][:speech]
[1:53:10][@sagian2005][Q: Shouldn't WorldChunkDimInMeters use FundamentalUnit?]
[1:53:26][Make PlayWorld() derive the WorldChunkDimInMeters from the FundamentalUnit]
[1:53:41][@steamymcfly][Q: How about increasing the voxel density and see if that reduces the acne?][:lighting]
[1:54:20][@internationalizationist][Q: I am your big fan, and have always been delighted with your… grouchy, in a good (very good) sense. I believe that this is a very useful quality that allows you to look at things and the world with a sober look. Just… I still cant understand how to develop this quality in myself. Can you advise something? A book? Production OOP programming? Work as Web developer? If you do not mind the time, please give a detailed answer. Thank you!][:psychology]
[2:13:24][@caseyismyhero1337][Q: Yo [@cmuratori Casey], my man, since you're doing everything in C, did you make your website[ref
site="Handmade Hero"
url=https://handmadehero.org/] also in C? And if so, is it possible to build an entire website from scratch in plain C using no libraries too?][:language :"web development"]
[2:15:58][@khrob][Q: Do you ever try and measure how much of your current outlook is affected by rose tinted memories? There were great things about using computers in 1992, but I remember having to constantly do things like mess with himem.sys to try and get the most basic of things working… (Not arguing that the current state of things isn't woeful)]
[2:20:29][@goban][@handmade_hero, I feel like this was a pretty recent shift in the zeitgeist too, I remember just 5, 10 years ago everyone was much more excited about tech]
[2:21:00][@steamymcfly][Q: Which Windows is the best version?][:"operating system"]
[2:21:14][@internationalizationist][Q: (About grouch) But when you do something, you do it qualitatively, because you know what quality is. It's cool from a programmer's point of view, that's all I want to say][:psychology]
[2:23:10][@Brian][Q: The state of programming is pretty sad. I was doing some investigating the other day and needed to use Process Monitor to spy on devenv. Randomly looking around, I noticed a big number of events sequentially all calling ReadFile and noticed devenv, it loading a 180k byte config file in 42 calls, each reading about 4k chunks from this file, setting the offset each time]
[2:28:03][@k2t0f12d][Q: What is one thing in programming or tech that can excite you and you think is an improvement (if any)?[ref
site="RAD Game Tools"
page="Oodle Network and Data Compression"
url=http://www.radgametools.com/oodle.htm]]
[2:33:55][@internationalizationist][Q: (Again off-topic) I think I upset you with that question, sorry]
[2:34:12][@oliverthebestcat][Q: (Off-topic) Do you have any advice for applying for AAA engineering jobs? I've worked on a few indie titles, porting them to consoles (mostly Unity games). I think a lack of C++ work experience is hurting me, but it's hard to get that work experience without previous C++ experience. Any advice?]
[2:35:55][@bulmanator][Q: Do you do anything specific to motivate yourself in the world of awful software?][:psychology]
[2:43:51][@charsd_][@handmade_hero Are you describing technocracy?]
[2:46:10][@charsd_][@handmade_hero One way to force that idea of excellence is through some form of authoritarianism, but many wouldn't like that]
[2:47:47][@longboolean][Q: What are you talking about [@cmuratori Casey], everything we do at our organization is excellent by our definition. No problems here. None at all. And if there are it's not my fault]
[2:53:52][@stewiez1][Arguing about capitalism vs socialism is going backwards]
[2:55:07][It has been a pleasure][:speech]
