[1:55:04][Q&A][:speech]
[1:55:58][@euphius][Q: Recently you said that Qt is not that good. What do you dislike about it?][:api]

[2:21:59][@pythno][Q: Regarding the Qt slider example. So if I get this correctly, in an IMGUI one just goes through the :UI elements and just draws them depending on whatever the slider-value says?]
[2:22:12][Immediate-mode vs retained-mode GUI][:speech :ui]
[2:23:05][Critique retained-mode GUI as exemplified by Qt's ListView[ref

[2:27:46][@zrizi][Q: Regarding keeping :audio and video synced. When you did the audio system you were very strict about playing without losing 1 frame. That was before we moved to OpenGL. Now there's a latency between when we're issuing a frame until it is actually rendered (CPU / GPU latency). How are we going to keep them in sync? I guess for [~hero Handmade Hero] it's not a huge deal, but I'm curious to hear your opinion on how to keep them in sync in case I need to do character lip-sync animations][:animation]
[2:30:03][@pythno][Q: Thanks for the list view example. That made it pretty clear. Where do you think it comes from that people build those verbose APIs that don't even give you much flexibility?][:api]
[2:31:54][@0lpbm][Q: If retained-mode is so bad, why haven't immediate GUIs taken over the desktop / mobile market yet? Spoilers, not every application is a game][:ui]
[2:33:32][@filiadelski][Q: Suppose you have an array of some struct type and each item has a name which is what you want to represent as an item in the list for the end user to choose from. Would it be a good idea to hand the :UI some pointer to the first name and specify some stride to the next, or how would you do it?]
[2:34:05][@doctorgester][Q: This is why websites are slow. They are trying to impose the IMGUI paradigm onto retained style and suffer with performance, like they compare data graphs and find differences and apply changes to retained model][:ui]
[2:34:45][@0lpbm][Sad day when JavaScript frameworks are given as good examples][:ui]
[2:35:35][@erdomina][Q: What do you think of annotation based programming a la spring?[ref

[2:37:28][@doctorgester][Q: Profiling huge websites it's pretty common to see 100-500ms spent on things like "Relayouting" or "Recalculating CSS styles" or just purely inside the JavaScript. I've made a purely dear imgui (heavily styled and customized) / WebGL / WebAsm website and it takes 0.5ms per frame to compute the layout][:ui]
