[1:52:16][@euphius][Q: Kinda off-topic. Have you ever been at a point where you thought that programming might not be the right thing for you?]
[1:57:50][@snubbykins][Q: Have you ever used / heard of Spherical Gaussians before?][:lighting]
[1:59:27][@xxthebigfoxx][Q: I remember we moved away from manual trilinear :filtering on voxel samples because it was a lot of texture bandwidth. How is this better than the old approach?][:lighting :performance]
[2:01:54][@math_daemon_][Q: Do you think step(x) * 2 - 1 could be faster than our current sign implementation?][:mathematics]
[2:03:01][@rooctag][Q: Why is the depth not red squares?][:"debug visualisation" :lighting]
[2:04:16][@fierydrake][I think you just didn't apply the fix to the depth buffer][:lighting]
[2:04:40][Fix EndLightingComputation() to correctly stride through the depth buffer][:lighting]
[2:05:08][Check out our correct depth buffer][:"debug visualisation" :lighting :run]
[2:05:31][@aidsjorb][Q: Do you have any opinion on potential new computing devices / platforms, i.e. "mobile" operating systems, tablets, multi screen devices, etc? Is there anything interesting going on, or are companies just throwing stuff at the wall?]
[2:05:46][@mycon_][Q: What do you think of Carmack working on general :AI? I hear he's going to use Sesame Street as the learning data]
[2:06:47][@mollycat123][Q: Some people have probably already mentioned this but it'd be cool to see more handmade chats / talks with guests etc. similar to the data compression talk with Charles]
[2:06:58][@xxthebigfoxx][Q: Is the bilinear :sampling from the octahedral map exact, then, or is there some distortion due to the way we are mapping the sphere in 2 dimensions?][:lighting]
[2:08:09][@ablindorphan][Q: Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on testing for something like a :library, where it's important to be thorough?]
[2:08:28][@math_daemon_][Q: I thought ours might be scalar. But was just a guess]
[2:09:09][@kniffel5][Q: What other than the games at Molly Rocket, are you working on? (Referring to the "cleaning up other people's mess" you said earlier, maybe I misunderstood?)]
[2:12:53][@quickshift_][Q: step(x) might be :hardware accelerated. It works on v2 and is branchless. Not sure how impactful it actually is][:performance]
[2:16:53][@osor_io][Q: Did you get any traction on your "The Thirty Million Line Problem" video? In terms of people wanting to collaborate with better programming of the hardware directly, ISAs for the GPU, etc, etc. Things in that direction]
[2:17:07][@litmusik][Q: I enjoyed your talk on :API design, but I see that it's ~15 years old. Have your thoughts changed or is it still the model you follow?]
[2:18:15][@xsinxdx][Q: Where could one find concrete resources on 2D :lighting? I can't seem to find anything useful on google, just unity and godot stuff]
[2:18:40][@devsigner][Q: I agree with you that software generally sucks, but do you think you're letting it get to you too much? There's something to say about staying positive, despite the madness]
[2:19:12][@mollycat123][Q: What are some of the major changes you have made to ~4coder worth mentioning?]
[2:20:02][@bewwyss][Q: Is it possible to implement the idea of dynamic :language without garbage collection, e.g implementing ECMAScript?]

[2:21:09][@jessem3y3r][Q: Can you elaborate on the issue C made with tying types strongly with operations?][:language]
[2:22:57][@kniffel5][Q: How many people pre-ordered the source code (I certainly did!)?]
[2:23:35][@kniffel5][Q: If SendOwl continues to be shady, is there a plan to switch platforms, so people will still be able to get it if something happens?]
