JRuby uses Java's java.security.SecureRandom, which (by default on OpenJDK 8) uses /dev/random, mixed with its own SHA1PRNG (this so setSeed() can be guaranteed to actually do something). Rubinius copies MRI circa 2014 via ru

Yes, it's MTBF, which is what the comment I was responding to asked for. The warranty is 5 years, and from the datasheet the AFR is rated at 0.35%. http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/enterpris.

The complaint isn't about blocking before you've been seeded, it's blocking afterwards because you've generated some random numbers and feel like you've somehow "used up" your entropy pool in doing so.

At Newzbin we used a simple partial quicksort for returning paginated results from our custom search engine - it worked really well for our needs. It was implemented as a plain old C macro: https://github.com/Freaky/pqs

Arq is like Tarsnap/Attic/Borg in that it uses shift-resistant block deduplication - it can efficiently cope with small modifications to existing files, where rsync would have to clone the entire file for each new version.
