How to build a mini-network of small programs feeding each other data?
I'm trying to simulate a real-time network where nodes are consumers and producers of different rates. How would I quickly implement a sample of this with Python? I was imagining that I'd write a simple program for each node, but I'm not sure how to…

time-based simulation with actors model
we have a single threaded application that simulates the interaction of a hundred of thousands of objects over time with the shared memory model.
obviously, it suffers from its inability to scale over multi CPU hardware.
after reading a little about…

How the dynamics of a sports simulation game works?
I would like to create a baseball simulation game.
Are these sports management games based on luck? A management game entirely based on luck is not fair, but it cannot be too predictable either. How does the logic behind these games work?

In R, how to generate a dataset consisting of the means of all column of a dataframe?
I can generate 20 observations of a uniform distribution with the runif function : runif(n=20)
and 100 replicates of the same distribution as following.
df <- replicate( 100, runif(n=20))
This creates df a matrix of dimensions [20,100] which I can…
