The article is Peter Norvig critiquing a 50-year old checkers-playing program. "He should have at least included a test suite."


Previous thread with you know who himself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2921506.


From far down in that thread, http://norvig.com/sciam/sciam.html is a more readable formatting of the same article.



This is significantly more readable, I think the OP should be changed to point to this.


so when he referenced amit patel in there i though to myself, surely that's not he of red blob games fame. what a surprise!


(2011)
