Oh dear god.
I suppose it can be counter-intuitive, but people really need to learn about timer precision... and, more importantly, statistics (basics, at least!).
I absolutely hate the 'combinatorics' part of statistics, but distributions, etc. seemed pretty learnable to me... but then I like continuous math, so...
- j-pb 6y agoThat's not even statistics. That's simply the pigeon hole principle. A second has 1000ms. If you have more than 1000 users doing things per second, there MUST be a collision.
- Quekid5 6y agoAh, but now you're discretizing! :D ... also, it Technically depends on your throughput (something something queue theory).
