Learn how to generate random points inside a circle using Cartesian and polar coordinates. This video explains the mathematical reasoning, visual intuition, and common pitfalls, helping you understand ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

Abstract: A pseudo-random ternary sequence (PRTS) generator is essential for high-speed serial interfaces, as three-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-3) is increasingly adopted in recent standards ...

If your data is compromised, weak passwords can have serious consequences like identity theft. Last year's number of reported data breaches set a new record-- not to mention the T-Mobile hack in 2021 ...

Adding numbers to your passwords makes them more secure. In fact, most sites and services these days require alphanumeric passwords at the very least. Some people ...

Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a miniaturized platform. This advance could help move quantum random number ...
