That's just pragmatism; people generally have a bounded key size and an unbounded amount of data.

If you are going to be pedantic, please explain how anything in the Heisenberg Uncertainty-bounded universe can have a transcendental size.

For any given number of items, it can be pretty unclear which one will give better performance (including the cost of false positives) for bounded size, or better space efficiency for bounded performance.

Even with knowledge of the accesses required in 1s time, you're still bounded by the speed of the movements of the heads.

Its moderation system, based on finite bounded votes (-2 - +5) though was inherently cripling, as well as the lack of convergence.

Or, at least, the speed with which they can change their recommendations is sharply bounded by ensuring they never quite have to admit fault.

Is it that quantum computers have bounded parallelism in some sense?

But (as above), the problem is it's not even clear what sort of problem class we were doing that let's you assume this particular thing can be bounded but others can't.

I don't claim to be especially economically savvy, but isn't the fundamental premise that there's a bounded conversion between revenue and profit?

So the odds of not-restarting are upper bounded by 0.96^N.

Parameter space is bounded only by one's cleverness and stamina.

Edit: At this moment the top article is "A Polynomial Time Bounded-Error Quantum Algorithm for Boolean Satisfiability" - which seems pretty CS to me...

To wit, O(n) doesn't mean "this algorithm takes kn time to run for a given n ", it means "this algorithm's runtime for all n > c for is bounded above by nk for some c and k ".

Dijkstra, Leslie Lamport, et al.: "On-the-fly garbage collection: an exercise in cooperation" 1974 Gary Lindstrom: "Copying list structures using bounded workspace" 1973 Edward M.

I was referring this quote: "being able to concisely define executable "objects" (closures), inline if necessary, is very useful" The fact that you can define inline executable objects is indeed very useful, and C++ does exactly that: an inline mangled class instantiated bounded to one variable.
