And the right balance between buffer size, drop percentage, and throughput should be measurable. But I bet those lazy bastards at cisco have never thought to measure performance, which is why no one uses their equipment.
If you want to win the argument with pirates, you can't call it theft, because (if we're not being ridiculous) it isn't theft. It's reduction of enforcement of monopoly rights granted by the state.
I'd do exactly what artists should do: perform. In the music space, your music should motivate people to pay you to perform concerts. In the programming space, your code should motivate people to pay you to perform maintenance.
He seems to think that this modeling strategy will result in discoveries about the rules of the universe, essentially as emergent properties, that are difficult (in the extreme) for a human to imagine and design a simulation to test.
Well, down at the planck length it sure looks like things are discrete. But even if they aren't, the simulation errors that would accumulate from the difference would never be greater than the measurement error (Heisenberg uncertainty principle) that forbids us from having a truly perfect understanding of the initial conditions.
But it wouldn't, ever, depart measurably from reality. Even as errors do accumulate over iterations, because the errors are guaranteed to be indistinguishable from measurement errors on the inputs.
Well, in reality, yes. But in reality, at least around me, house prices are still falling, and are still going to fall for another couple of years at least. Plus rents are cheap because of all the vacant houses, much cheaper than the houses are currently selling for.
There are numerous other factions out trying to wipe out mosquitos in the largest possible numbers. I think the scientists presume they have just as much right to attempt the feat.
Umm... your parent poster complained about bat guano. Which of ignorance or superstition was it to claim that a large number of bats were responsible for his unwanted surplus of bat guano?
There actually is an easter egg in there for owners of high end graphics cards. If you have a sufficiently good one your speedy bird will cross the light speed barrier, creating a warp wake that creates a wave of destruction. Sorry if you're missing out with your wimpy card though.
Modern games do not call their random source often enough for its performance to be a big deal. That's why pretty much everybody moved to MT when it came out: it was less than an order of magnitude slower than LCG, and the quality of the random numbers was well established, and there was an acceptable commercial license on a very good implementation. You could trivially run tests against that library to verify you had it implemented correctly as well. It was a 'just-right' trade-off between performance and better quality random numbers.
For most multi-player games, the seeding of the players is irrelevant. The server decides all important outcomes, so only its seed matters. The players' clients are just informed of the outcomes. Whether or not the players see a randomly-shaped explosion exactly the same is usually too trivial to matter, but if you do care, then you actually want synchronized seeds, and those are used in some places.

Big news, yet another random person discovers there is an intense age-bias in technology work.
Umm ... your 1500 byte packet had best not take more than about 10 us to transmit. 10ms would be quite ridiculous.
They don't pay taxes?

He said real artists. What does that have to do with Metallica?
stop stop topmenu.
(That's how you skip ads on just about 100% of players).
GPL exists precisely to do battle with the evils of copyright. If copyright didn't exist, GPL wouldn't just be unenforceable, it would be unnecessary.

Parks, libraries, community theatres. Plenty of people making money performing in those venues.

If you can buy it on credit now, why can't you save up for it and buy it later?
LOL.

Vehicles? Why do you need to go anywhere in this scenario?
If you approximate it to below the plank length in precision, are you done?
If that socio-political impact is severe enough, it could result in enough nukes going off to pose a decent existential threat to humanity.

It's not the summary's fault. 448 cores is actually in the product title.
Worse, the 448 core thing is actually in the product title, so it isn't even the fault of the summary.
