Hi Desiderius fans, I can’t imagine anyone else is reading these posts but true fans. I’d like to extend a special welcome to Fred, thanks for favoriting my bridge tweets every weekend 🙂 A while back I was at DDD Europe where I played a real life game of bridge. Unfortunately my phone was dead so […]

Live Hacking with Tomas Petricek [Desiderius part 8]
When I was at NDC, there was a real cool type of session called the “Functional Programming Lab Hour” where you could go to do some functional programming with among others, Tomas Petricek. Initially I went there to ask about a strange null error I was getting in combining C# and F# which apparently has to […]
Introducing RuleSets [Desiderius Part 7]

Bidding no trump, part deux, or Partial application for the win [Desiderius part 5]
Another episode in my series on making a bridge program. Earlier I wrote about the fuzz of modeling 1 SA (a game without trump) because it requires the introduction of a new suit that does not really exist. Turns out bidding 1 SA also poses some challenges. As you can imagine, when you play without a […]
