To list something: C teaches memory management, memory addressing, stacks and heaps, some disassembly, binary interfaces. Basically, you see the layer on top of machine language. P…

I'd go with C first. Rust would teach you everything C does and more, but C will lay the foundation in cleaner strokes. This will help you later no matter what language you decide …

To be fair I would have read it, but there was no link, as another comments have pointed out as well.

This gives a new spin/explains the tagline on their website as well: "The game engine you waited for."

Find the kind of system you'd be interested in working on and start building one yourself. For me it was a game engine + an editor for it, but it could be anything you find the mot…

That's a totally different domain, where abstractions are most likely for the better. The bad part is the abstractions at places where they're not wanted e.g. graphics and other hi…

Twitch chat is also running on top of IRC. You can connect to their irc servers and use the twitch chat from your irc client. With limited capabilities I might add (no private mess…

It doesn't really have an effect. I showed it to a friend on the same monitor and we got totally different perceptions.

In my mind C/C++ converts to a certain style of C++ coding popular among competitive programmers for example. You write C style simple code but use the C++ libraries etc. when it b…

I would be very interested to see this happen. I'd like to get into RE but don't know where one would begin. Having an example from a modern game might give some nice pointers to s…

I don't think it is implied. I can't come up with a sentence with the same information and zero implications.

This is OT, trivial and a bit silly: How did you intend the json file? I tried with sublime but couldn't find anything to solve it. Didn't start an IDE for this.

I don't think that was ever implied.

What I'm really waiting for is that other countries start realizing what this means to them. From what I've seen, most of European media has failed to point out how big of a deal t…

Any idea if there's similar sites for different languages? I'm learning russian, but audio/video material with english (or finnish) subtitles is hard to find.

Call me easy to engage, but I really liked all the +100's next to the buttons.

I recall reading somewhere (from HN) that upvoting as an agreement was allowed. Can't find the source though..

Some computer scientists (e.g. Martin Odersky, creator of Scala) don't see object oriented programming as a true paradigm, for it can be quite easily combined with them (hence Scal…

So what you're saying is that, because Kasparov assumed the move was anticipated further than he could see, chess's "nature" is inferior to go, because in go–you implỵ–this wouldn…

One thing that has been bugging me in ICS and JB is how small textfields behave, especially in text-messages. I tend to write long sms's and occasionally want to change a word from…

I'm 22 and only just now going to university. I've had the same issues as the author, about the non-encouraging environment, friends not interested etc. I had the interest sure, bu…

A live sample would be much more interesting, both would be best. I'd be most interested in the meta keys. As a scandinavian especially {}, [] etc. buttons are very awkward to pres…

Slightly off-topic, but could anyone give a good modern C reference-book or tutorial? I have read through K&R, but all the modern approaches are of course lacking.
