TLDR: Alphabet chess is a chess variant that allows handicapping by mixing in a bit of poker into the beginning of the game. Moves must be played according to a secret word at the beginning of the game. Chess has been played in different forms since the seventh century, and in its modern form since the nineteenth century. Opening theory, i.e. the study of the best moves to begin the game with, has been developing since then.

Preface This began as a reply to another article by Lucas F. Costa; it lists practices to improve user-experience (UX) of command-line interfaces (CLIs). It comes from a good place, and has some good advice: I particularly like its advice on input-validation and understandable errors. Unfortunately, a number of its suggestions are problematic, particularly from an accessibility perspective. This is a “living article” that I plan on addin....

Note : This is a work in progress. Rather than finish it in one go, I'm updating it live as a draft document as I learn new things about Twitter. Last update: 2022-06-15 I am, at heart, a long form blogger. Still – the cool kids, as they say – these days are all on twitter (and, yes, I know by saying it that way, I'm dating myself even further; so be it; it amuses me). I find myself, here in 2022, wanting to get a better handle on ....

When I walked outside a few hours after my 2009 LASIK surgery and managed to peer out of the tiny holes in the goggles taped to my face, I got the sense of suddenly seeing the world in high definition. Looking up at a tree, even through gritty eyes that were still in pain and sensitive, I saw every little leaf. I saw the crags in the branches and every crisp shadow between the greenery. I had to pause and take in the realization that there ..

I've been dealing with a new application with a lot of objects and one of my concerns is idempotency. Idempotency is the idea that you can do the same thing over and over and only create a new object when Idempotence (UK: /ˌɪdɛmˈpoʊtəns/,[1] US: /ˈaɪdəm-/)[2] is the property of certain operations in mathematics and computer science whereby they can be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. ....

I stumbled upon a very interesting question on Stack Overflow about how to use jOOQ’s MULTISET operator to nest a collection, and then filter the result by whether that nested collection contains a value. The question is jOOQ specific, but imagine, you have a query that nests collections using JSON in PostgreSQL. Assuming, as always, … Continue reading How to Filter a SQL Nested Collection by a Value →

I'm working on a new project and, as I am front end challenged, I started by purchasing a copy of the BootRails framework as it seemed to have sensible defaults and an appearance that vastly outstrips my personal ability to manipulate Bootstrap. Previously I've worked with the JumpStart framework from Go Rails and while I love, love, love Chris Oliver, GoRails, HatchBox and everything Chris has done (yes I'm a super fan), I just can't get ....

People have mostly moved on from DTDs. In HTML-land, they use the Living Standard; in XML land, they stick to boring existing parsing rules and use XML namespaces. In both, they use RDF vocabularies to describe RDF-based structured data. I’m curious as to why you’re interested in creating a new DTD. I think that unless you plan on creating a new SGML-based language, you’re better served by namespaces.
