Single Weekly Link #1

I'm going to try out a new practice. I'm calling it Single Weekly Link.

Some blogs I follow (through RSS) have link dumps. A link dump is a blog post that lists links the author has found/read/stumbled upon.

I used to be follow many of those blogs. Some I still do. An inherent problem I have this is that it's very time consuming. When you subscribe to multiple blogsn you very quickly end up with dozens of open tabs. In my case, I regularly achieved the hundreds of tabs in one sitting. Thankfully, the computers I usually have come equipped with more than 16 Go of RAM. This is sufficient to handle Firefox with a whole lot of tabs opened. The challenge was then to triage and read those new webpages before a new batch of link dumps arrived. I struggle to do so.

So here is a format more respectful of our time: I'll post every week a new post entitled Single Weekly Link, containing a link that I want to share with the readers of this blog.

This weeks link is A 2-ply minimax chess engine in 84,688 regular expressions, by Nicholas Carlini.
