danielt3on Ask HN: Resources for GPU Compilers?

https://theartofhpc.com/

Great book series on the subject of HPC. Not sure if it actually touches GPU. Great material anyway. BONUS: it's free!

danielt3on Ask HN: Help me solve a dilemma, study in the US or take a job in the EU?

Very very personal business here. Hardly an answer here will be able to asses every single aspect that matters to you. IMO, from a superficial point of view, if you are single, no kids and got yourself some sort of very disputed scholarship them I'd go for it, graduate and get a job in the EU, in your home country, whatever.

IMHO, after you graduate, you will have more experience (both technical and non-technical) and be able to find better jobs. And there will always be startups looking for good engineers....

This link is old. The new one is this: https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/beginners-guide-to-aeronautics/. I know that sometimes old links are gold, but I can't tell if this is really the case.

danielt3on Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?

There is a HUGE list of game engines running on Github for a while and from time to time, new stuff is added.

https://gist.github.com/raysan5/909dc6cf33ed40223eb0dfe625c0...

My personal preferences:

Godot

OpenBOR (I really like these beat'em up stuff)

Gamemaker 1.4

danielt3on Ask HN: Single-person creations that have stood the test of time?

I'm surprised (or I missed some part of the entire thread) nobody mentioned Bittorrent! The entire protocol and the original client was designed by one person: Bram Cohen. Think about some of the most efficient way to distribute large data over the internet and there is one single mind behind it. Of course, there are plenty of fancy GUI-powered clients today but the very original idea belongs to one person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bram_Cohen
