When I post something flawed, I should be able to retract my post signalling that I no longer stand by it and have changed my opinion.

You're right, benhurmarcel. My input here has come to nothing, and it wasn't a good input to begin with. I wish there was a retract option.

Not everyone has the time to learn yet another language. Besides, learning a language to understand content like this takes a lot of time. (I speak 4 languages already.)

Authors addendum: This post was a mistake on my part. Please downvote this post. Thank you! I would rather have a retract option, but there is none here on HN. Original post: Apolo…

Yep, I now use duckduckgo.com and yandex.com for reverse image searches.

Why is the EU so lenient with Sweden in that case?

I. C++ (related) forums from Germany and Japan that I've found (so far): - https://www.c-plusplus.net/ - https://dixq.net/ II. Quality YouTube channels from Germany: - https://www.…

My apologies. Yes that was perhaps a little weird from me. (But I am a socially awkward person anyway. :)) My intention was to inquire why person X came to that conclusion. Many pe…

> Starting with a software renderer is nuts. No, not really. You can write a simplistic ray tracer and rasterizer in about 10 - 50 lines tops: https://github.com/d26900/JamaisVu/bl…

Peter Shirley's one is nice too! But he has 2 more: https://gamephysicsweekend.github.io/ And you can do a very simple one in much less than 30 lines in C. ;) Edit: Oops, it was th…

It's a great book! Thank you for your effort and for making it accessible to people for free!!! Edit: (If I wouldn't be so poor, I would donate to your cause as well.)

I would start with fundamental rendering algorithms first before anything. - Write a software rasterizer - Write a software ray tracer You can do all that without exiting a program…

I think HN would benefit if more people would hop on board from different walks of life (doctors, lawyers, artists, moviemakers, photographers, manual laborers, philosophers, histo…

Python is so cool and old (1991) or let's say "battle-tested". I really like minimalistic languages like C (1972) and Python. It seems like minimalistic languages have higher chanc…

That sentiment is shared by a significant amount of people[1][2][3][4], it seems. I am also sympathetic to minimalism in life (owning essentials only) and in many of my (programmin…

Great recommendations! Here's an HN-based book recommendation list for C++: https://hackernewsbooks.com/topics/learning-c%2B%2B-programm... "All links to Amazon, Safaribooks and O'…

With "asset reverse engineering" I meant: recreating the assets from scratch. Just like a painter reproducing another painting.

Wow, impressive! Can the assets be "reverse engineered" as well? Also, can R* shut this project down? Is there a legal basis for them?

If we had "benevolent monarchs" (riches, people of power) who have always our best interest in mind, I would agree with you. But these "monarchs" aren't benevolent they simply do n…

Was money always the primary incentive or did you just lose the passion for programming over time?

Well not quite. I based it on the Stack Overflow developer surveys as well (Tiobe too). Tiobe is basically a measure for how often a language is searched for, if I am not mistaking…

I picked 11 languages that I found to be interesting: C, C++, Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, TypeScript, Swift. Then for each language I created categories (7…
