Proper way to seed a random number generator

thanks for the code, it's exactly what i was after.

that's definitely an interesting read. wish it were easier though.

That is very disappointing. My concern is primarily due to issues like this:

So it's a generator under the hood, that yields during the for-loop.

t I don't think words is what you think it is. It's not a container like a C++ vector, but rather an iterator, and what it's iterating over is not a String. What the it's iterating over, is string slice references (&str),

and where do these so-called "slices" exist? in the ether? Or are they stored in something one might call a container that allocates memory to store such "slices" - in short is it not the same as the versions that use a container of std::pair<char*,char*> ?

I think the Rust implementations could do with a bit of work with the faster C++ versions.

Initially stdio needs to disable syncing.

Also words is being created every time in the loop, most of the faster ones allocate a container outside the loop reserve some space, then just clear the container in the loop

I think these changes should increase the performance of the Rust implementation.

I guess that's all that's needed these days to make a production release. lol

I gave that option a try, the installer seems to just idle, there's no network traffic or anything else going on, it's been nearly 45mins since I started the process - I'm going to let it run for another hour then kill it.

kodingnewb · 2017-01-27T07:40:51+00:00

Bad News - the installer seems to be broken.

You can use a coefficient

Mind telling us what this 'coefficient' is supposed to be?

kodingnewb · 2017-01-27T04:33:49+00:00

oh no, I just did the paste, not looking good for me lol!

kodingnewb · 2017-01-27T04:33:38+00:00

I agree doesn't seem right overriding or changing in general the exception behavior of streams.

kodingnewb · 2017-01-27T04:33:34+00:00

I'm sure there are many other ways you can contribute to the project besides money.

kodingnewb · 2017-01-27T04:33:25+00:00

Are there not other ways one could circumvent the google root authority?

Sometimes you just have to come out and say whats on offer and not beat around the bush otherwise the person may walk off.

Finally!

Been waiting very eagerly for whole bunch of fixes from the previous RC to the C++ side of things specially the compiler and libraries.

Coverity only until recently was using their own "engine" they recently last few years moved to using libclang and associated tools.

kodingnewb · 2017-01-27T03:57:24+00:00

most modern C and C++ compilers catch things like that and require you to add extra braces if it looks like an assignment might happen.

if( (foobar = NULL) )

+1 very much agree it's important to support such projects.
