Not "store chess moves in a database." Not "track game state in a table." Actually render a chess board. With pieces. That you can move around. In your browser. Using nothing but SELECT, UPDATE, and a bit of creative thinking. First, we need to represent the chess board. A chess board is an 8x8 grid. Each square can either be empty or contain a piece. That's just a table: ...

Learn Something Old Every Day, Part XVIII: How Does FPU Detection Work?

The x86 architecture's FPU detection and interface evolved significantly from the 8086 to the 80386, with the 286 and later CPUs using a generic co-processor interface that was later simplified. The 386 and 486 CPUs took over some of the responsibilities of the original 8087 BIU, with the 386 and 486SX tracking FP instruction/data pointers and validating memory operands, and the 386 and 486SX ...
