Stoppped Reading 5 paragraphs. If the article fails to convey where it's going, why should I invest the time? Also, what are those hashtags? Completely unrelated to the actual content.
- o11c 2y agoYeah, there is a lot of space to explore regarding RNGs (e.g. short period but with a large stream space), but this isn't helpful.
- loeg 2y agoContra the title, the article has essentially nothing to do with RNGs and is instead about debugging the author's toy web game very verbosely.
- remram 2y agoA lot of the debugging ends up with "whatever, don't have time to find the cause, do X instead" which is super disappointing.
- loeg 2y agoYeah, I wouldn't encourage anyone to spend their time reading it.
- mock-possum 2y agoYeah the title probably should’ve been something like “revisiting my really really good random number generator” or “revisiting crowd-sourced rng” or something.
- ericrallen 2y agoAfter reading the article, the tags are actually related to the content due to the user-supplied “random” number nature of the project and no restriction against users submitting non-numbers.
- reader9274 2y agoHaving read all of it, missing the hashtags in the top, I want my 7 min back.
- mock-possum 2y agoTell me you didn’t rtfa without saying you didn’t… oh, wait.
