  4. #sydbox started to allow access to getrandom(2) by default as it is soon to be in your #vdso. This means go fast #random numbers but also means full access for your friendly #ransomware to the os #rng. #exherbo #linux #security

  6. What’s So Random About Ms. Pac-Man
    I'm not going to say that famously Ms. Pac-Man is a more random game than Pac-Man, because who really knows things like that who isn't a hardcore gamenerd. But among hardcore game nerds, it's common knowledge. (If you didn't know, A. congrats on your coolness, and B

  7. I never thought about the fact that random number generators in games might feel unfair to players. You might not roll that 10% chance in 20 tries while another player hits it twice in a row. So there are algorithms to make "10% chance" feel more like "about once every 10 rolls".

  13. @ai6yr They run the truck on natural gas (CNG/RNG) instead of diesel. It's 20-80 % lower emissions.

    From what I can see on their website they don't sell any "near zero" cement yet.

  14. That's interesting. Every time I ask Google's #bard for random whole numbers, it gives me sawtooth-like ramping patterns. This is a great example for a stochastic simulation/numerical methods course -- uniformity, but not independence (i.e., bad random number generator).

  15. I'm working on an update to {doFuture} and a new %dofuture% infix operator:

    y <- foreach(x = 1:3) %dofuture% {
    something something
    }

    which removes the need for %dopar% (which btw comes with a few hidden bugs) and registerDoFuture().

    %dofuture% will give you a consistent #futureverse behavior, just like when you use {future.apply} and {furrr}. Same for random number generation (RNG), which will be built-in, so no need for %dorng%
