Hehe, nice story. I know ... Hehe, nice story. I know what you mean and I've been doing this professionally for a few years. I wrote this just yesterday: What you see on the surface, including those many in-depth features and attentively formated articles, have that apparent elegance of a swan gliding over a lake.

You should definitely write another ... You should definitely write another article about the process of making the simulation deterministic -- as you mentioned in the disadvantages. That's the key challenge here :- |
