| leagues, but with NetStats Baseball, you

| various years, play a whole season game by
| game, or watch AI managers play an entire
| season in seconds.

Datacenter Barometer: Cfengine Revs Up Configuration Management
,----[ Quote ]
| What I found interesting about Cfengine is
| that Burgess originally started Cfengine as
| a scientific research project, and even
| though he founded a commercial company in
| 2008 to develop and support commercial
| extensions for Cfengine, that same level of
| academic rigor still pervades through the
| project. Burgess still does research on
| systems management, and has developed the
| Promise Theory, "model of voluntary
| cooperation between individual, autonomous
| actors or agents who publish their
| intentions to one another in the form of
| promises," from his work on Cfengine.

Better test data generation with Benerator
,----[ Quote ]
| Benerator addresses these issues. It makes
| it easy and fast to configure data
| generation in early project stages, so you
| can start performance testing as soon as
| you have running code. You can run
| Benerator from a nightly build system and
| trigger nightly automatic performance
| tests. As your project evolves, you can
| fine-tune data generation, or extract and
| anonymize real production data.
