atan2··on Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture
I've completed this entire course, and in my opinion, it's the best resource out there on this topic (even better than nand2tetris or ben eater). Sadly, given that it's paid, I'd be extremely surprised to see it reach the front page of HN, regardless of how good it is.
atan2··on Recreational Programming
Worth including a mention of pikuma.com here as well.
atan2··on A Sick People
It's so interesting how I feel the same way about where I live now... and even more interesting that every time I visit the US, people seem happier there than anywhere I've been before.
atan2··on Pixuma: Fundamentals of Computer Science and Mathematics
The best!
atan2··on Learn OpenGL, extensive tutorial resource for learning Modern OpenGL
I have done both. Personally, I've found the the pikuma.com course to be extremely more valuable and more in-depth.
atan2··on Software rendering in 500 lines of bare C++
on the topic of software rendering, im surprised how little gustavo pezzi's lectures get mentioned here on hacker news.
atan2··on 98% isn't much
That reminds me of an old comic where a guy picks a milk carton from the grocery store shelf and reads in the box: "Now with 0.01% less semen." and he does not know if he's happy or sad about it.
atan2··on Win16 Memory Management
Yeah. Almost everything I posted last month reached the top page through someone else.
atan2··on Win16 Memory Management
This has happened at least 4 times to my posts just last month.
atan2··on Win16 Memory Management
I posted the same thing a few days ago:

I'll just stop posting on HN.

atan2··on Additive Blending on the Nintendo 64
Posted earlier this week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48067111
atan2··on Making your own programming language is easier than you think (but also harder)
This URL was posted two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48040422
atan2··on Want to write a compiler? Just read these two papers (2008)
I think it's worth mentioning Gustavo Pezzi's lectures at pikuma.com. The one on "Digital Electronics" and the one on "Interpreters & Compilers" really helped me.
atan2··on I started programming when I was 7. I'm 50 now and the thing I loved has changed
The article talks about human vs technology and the loss of connection between creation, intent, ownership, and control. Don't be condescending.
atan2··on Learn computer graphics from scratch and for free
this is such a a nice video. but honestly understanding perspective divide intuitively is probably less than 1% of what 3d rendering is all about.
atan2··on Learn computer graphics from scratch and for free
I agree 100% gustavo is such a great teacher. i tried scratchapixel before and its nice but it was with pikuma that everything finally clicked.
atan2··on Will West Coast Jazz Get Some Respect?
"The Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi" is my favorite jazz album cover.
atan2··on Cloth Simulation
A very nice article by Marian Pekár on Verlet integration and cloth simulation:

atan2··on Beej's Guide to C Programming
I previously avoided fully diving into Beej's content because I found its C guide listed under "Stuff that should be avoided" in the iso-9899 page.

https://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Main_Page#Stuff_that_should_b...

I still wonder if that list does more harm than good.

atan2··on Things you can do with diodes
Nice timing. I just saw pikuma's email with his new course on digital electronics and saw this here.
atan2··on Wren: A classy little scripting language
The first time I saw Wren was as an option for programming inside TIC-80. It caught my attention. I recently saw it again being mentioned by Gustavo (from pikuma.com) in his compilers course. Neat language and the VM code in C is quite easy to understand.
atan2··on rlsw – Raylib software OpenGL renderer in less than 5k LOC
i'm so happy i could understand most of the code. props to pikuma.com for showing us the beauty of software renderers!
atan2··on There is a huge pool of exceptional junior engineers
I read the article but it felt more like wishful thinking than actually providing any tangible data on the gains of hiring junior devs.
atan2··on Fake Oxford
I thought "fake" Oxford was Oxford Brookes.
atan2··on Build Your Own Lisp
The iso-9899.info C language website also includes this book in their "Stuff That Should Be Avoided" section.

atan2··on “The Bitter Lesson” is wrong. Well sort of
I first read the "Blitter" lesson and got excited for a moment.
atan2··on The Art of Roland-Garros
Love the favico.
atan2··on Writing toy software is a joy
gustavo!!! your website was the first thing i thought of as i was reading this blog post. im a huge fan of your teaching style. thank you for everything you do! :-]
atan2··on Verlet Integration and Cloth Physics Simulation (2022)
Writing that programmers that use Euler instead of RK4 are "bloddy idiots" might work well to get some laughs in a blog post when the author is trying to stress how RK4 is more accurate and stable than the alternative, but there are cases where real-time applications (especially on older machines and older consoles) could not afford the overhead of RK4 and Euler was gave good-enough for what they needed.
