I see it's still up after 20+ years: NeHe at https://nehe.gamedev.net/

In 2005-ish I followed what is now called "legacy tutorials" and I just learned a lot about how rendering pipeline works in OpenGL + some basic 3d math and physics. The rope tutorial (https://nehe.gamedev.net/tutorial/rope_physics/17006/) was my favorite.

Also, my highschool math teacher was in awe when I was so familiar with vector math and matrices and it was so easy to grasp the concepts in class because I could visualize everything. This is a nod to a previous post here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40983734

Thank you for this. I am planning to start teaching my 5-year-old mathematics now, just as I began teaching him to read when he was 2 years old. Now, he reads a lot, and his teacher has no difficulty explaining instructions during quizzes because he already knows how to read!

I didn't know this person before:

https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/category/emacs/

A banking CTO who contributes a lot in emacs.

I really like the image editing he did. Thank you for posting this. Made my day.

Anything written by Prot is a delight, he takes a lot of care in the design and documentation of what he writes and it's often accompanied by a full write-up and video demo. All his other packages are worth a look as well.

The documentation of the package, i.e. the very link of this thread is worth a read by itself. I 'm not an Emacs user so I won't use this but I enjoyed your documentation.

It was written using emacs org-mode[0] and was exported from emacs org-mode to HTML.

Without a doubt one of the best technical books I have ever read.

To me, it was a missing piece of the big puzzle of "how do computers work". I read many a book to answer this question, and came away with three books:

- CODE by Charles Petzold explains the CPU

- Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces by Arpaci-Dusseau explain OSes

- Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom explains programming languages

Masterfully done.

Could you please consider this book?

Compiler Construction Using Java, JavaCC, and Yacc[0]

In my opinion, this has been underrated book. I learned a lot from this book. I enjoyed it and plan to read it again.

If you could check it out. It contains solid explanation from theory to implementation. I'm not affiliated with the author, I just wanted to show I'm grateful for his work.
