How is exactly that we talk about "true random" numbers when we are actually measuring something. I mean, isn't measuring almost the opposite of randomness. Som articles says that, for example, throwing a dice is "true random". Of course it isn't Pseudo-random, but is it even random?? If you could have a machine that throw dices from de...
Hi, It seems if it is the same distribution, then random draws from numby.random is faster than that from scipy.stats.....rvs. I was wondering what causes the speed difference between the two. -Joon ...
So I have a service where you sign up for events. When you sign up, you get an email with an url where you can sign off the event.

For this Wordpress site, I need to generate 24 variables each of which contains a number between 1 and 24. The problem is that two variables cannot have the same value. So I basically need to generate 24 variables each of which contains a number between 1 and 24. Here's the code that I am using to generate a random number. $mirza = ran...
Edit: I've rewritten the question in hopes that the goal is a little clearer. This is an extended question to this question here, and I really like the function provided in this answer. In the answer above, one is able to set the probability of hitting an extreme, with higher numbers producing a higher probability of getting lower numb...
If I use the Random number generator function in different programming languages and I chose the same seed .. Do they have to give me the same random numbers ? for example I used Java and Perl ... gave different numbers. ...
