LaneRendell··on Unreal Engine 4 .NET Core integration
Honestly Unreal doesn't use a crazy amount of modern C++ features on the gameplay programmer facing portion.

The engine itself is really mostly a huge automatic templating system.

LaneRendell··on Introduction to Compilers and Language Design
Thanks this is really neat!
LaneRendell··on How to create an OS from scratch – tutorial
Just shot you an email to ask you to do that! Thanks for this resource. Good work :)
LaneRendell··on How to create an OS from scratch – tutorial
Does anyone else have a good list of similar tutorials? I'm highly interested in this type of implementation from scratch approach.
LaneRendell··on Modern PHP without a framework
Just wanted to say so much this. It's why I avoid web programming if can I.
LaneRendell··on C for All
Hallelujah.
LaneRendell··on Site with future Vulkan tutorials for beginners
Yeah it's a great resource. I'm eagerly awaiting this Vulkan version
LaneRendell··on FCC won’t delay vote, says net neutrality supporters are “desperate”
Your comment is much better than what I wanted to say: What a douche canoe.
LaneRendell··on Devs unknowingly use “malicious” modules snuck into official Python repository
Haha, I was just about to come say that.
LaneRendell··on Ask HN: Any good post-grad ideas for an MD wanting to do more tech stuff?
Not my area of expertise, but I'm a type 1 diabetic and that area seems ripe for improvement. Artificial pancreases, automatic glucose monitoring and the like are an area that is exploding.
LaneRendell··on Into the woods: how one man survived alone in the wilderness for 27 years
Actually it's a bit more than that, my bad: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/ch01.html

You aren't required to file if you make less than 3000 dollars of income a year.
LaneRendell··on Tor developer dodges FBI, leaves US
They mention in the article that she had already made those plans, but "put them on overdrive" after the FBI issues.
LaneRendell··on Another ‘Too Big to Fail’ System in G.M.O.s
Haha, he's a libertarian republican, my bad.
LaneRendell··on Another ‘Too Big to Fail’ System in G.M.O.s
sigh More anti-science, liberal, woo crap. (This coming from someone who identifies as liberal). These scare mongering tactics are turning people off to great advantages in the agricultural industry.
LaneRendell··on Silicon Valley doesn't create jobs; it's wiping out middle-class jobs
Wheeler is chronically uncharitable to technology, and generally comes across a techno-phobic. He's a journalist (and journalism professor) so it's not surprising that he tends to have issues with technology in general.

Does he raise valid points? Sure. Some tech companies are just as guilty as Walmart is of exploitative labor practices, but one can't help but take his commentary with a grain of salt, as he slams "crappy automated phone systems" he ignores all of the benefits of new technologies.

LaneRendell··on The revolutionary ion engine that took spacecraft to Ceres
The only down shot is the acceleration of an ion engine is god awful. But seems the best way to go if you don't care about time needed to get going (and slow down).
LaneRendell··on It Will Not Be Feasible to Mine Bitcoin on Other Planets
Well let's cancel this whole space exploration thing then.
LaneRendell··on ‘Braid’ creator sacrifices his fortune to build his next game
Thanks for the link, cool series!
LaneRendell··on How data from the Kepler Space Telescope is changing the Drake equation
What a fascinating read. Very cool that "life" may be as close as ten light years away.
LaneRendell··on Chinese economy overtakes the U.S.’s to become the largest
Why keep moving the goal posts as others have said? They have more people and more land. Why is this surprising?
LaneRendell··on Two new subatomic particles discovered at CERN
Must be good being a particle physicist these days. :)
