A Chess UI is a program that interfaces with a chess engine in order using a computer chess interface to allow human players to interact conveniently with the engine.

Bibliography:

They are the finite projective special linear groups.

This was the first infinite family of simple groups discovered after the simple cyclic groups and alternating groups. The first case discovered was $PSL(2,p)$ by Galois. You should understand that one first.

These did not stand the test of time however.

When Ciro was ten years old, he was addicted to 2 cartoons: Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z!

Pokemon had just launched in Brazil in 1999, 2 years after the Japanese launch: br.historyplay.tv/hoje-na-historia/comeca-exibicao-original-do-anime-pokemon (archive) And Dragon Ball, was first aired in 1989 in Japan! My God, those translations took forever back then!

And everyone was playing Pokemon on their Game Boy Color. Ciro was already cheap however, and didn't buy the console despite wanting it, and just played it through his friends handhelds. But maybe this is a good thing. Playing alone sucks.

The most awesome country in the world, except for it's horrible government as of 2019 which Ciro Santilli is trying to replace with democracy.

The most important publisher, AKA "CRC Jianian". TODO meaning of Jianian?

Chinese government owned unfortunately.

Their website takes forever to load: www.china-crc.com.cn/, and features mostly Communist shit, and I can't find the decent traditional music listed there.

One thing to try is an Amazon advanced search by label "China Record Co": www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-music&rh=p_33%3AChina+Record+Co&s=relevancerank&Adv-Srch-MP3-Submit.x=42&Adv-Srch-MP3-Submit.y=4&unfiltered=1&ref=sr_adv_m_digital

One of the best in the world, but you need to know how to find real restaurants if you are not in China.

But worry not, Ciro Santilli has got you covered: github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/restaurants

Some stuff at: cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship/#the-best-chinese-food but that is bound to die one guesses.

Some remarks on the language at: cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship/does-ciro-santilli-speak-chinese

For some reason Chinese people (and their sphere of influence such as Japan) are obsessed by numbered lists, e.g. stuff like Four Beauties, Four Treasures of the Study and so on!

The concept does exist in the West (e.g. The Seven Wonders of the World), but clearly the Sinosphere is much more obsesse by it!

On Wikipedia we only find the term Scholar-official. But the idea of the ancient Chinese scholar is a bit wider as a concept, and even people who were not trying to be officials could thrive to follow certain aspects of the scholar way of life.

Bought in the late 2010s.

Chordate is a sad clade.

You read the name and think: hmm, neural cords!

But then you see that his is one of its members:

Yup. That's your cousin. And it's a much closer cousin than something like arthropods, which at least have heads eyes and legs like you.

Convergent evolution is crazy!

Google is trying to kill it as of 2021: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/01/chromium-sync-google-api-removed The lack of sync is a major major blow. So selfish. Google makes billions, and it won't give in a little bit of settings storage...
