There are a few (free) teaching ladders out there. The basic idea is that you have your games reviewed by players a few stones stronger than you, e.g. you are ranked around 10k and the reviewer 4k. Reviewers are strong enough to spot the bi

This bot has a very flexible style. It is at ease both in calm point-grabbing positions (first game) and large-scale dogfights (see the second one), where humans used to crush computers. Lee Sedol is so strong at fighting, this is gonna be

How about TypeScript/TSX? React's components and "views" are easy to type (and you get completion in your IDE) but I still have to find a convenient way to type an Immutable map where each key/value pair has a diffe

Its take on probability as a way of modelling our brain is refreshing, for instance, the beginning of chapter 1: Suppose some dark night a policeman walks down a street, apparently deserted; but suddenly he hears a burglar alarm, looks acro

Note the weakness of the Java solution. Since its interfaces offer no support for virtual contructors (hence the design pattern), you have to instanciate a factory before you can get an empty value.

Also very challenging for chess players is retrograde analysis, where you have to find the only possible legal moves to reach the given position. See the cover of this book by Smullyan http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images&#x2

People may have a sense of superiority, especially smart ones. Chess world champion (and genius) Bobby Fischer once said: "My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration".

I am not sure what you call "auto-vectorization". The auto-vectorization that I know of is the ability of a compiler to batch several scalar operations of a sequential loop into one single vector operation (SSE). There is still on

An unusual little feature is that assignment returns the old value of the target, e.g. a = b returns the old value of a, so that a = b = a just swaps the contents of a and b.
