Re: Last minute Boston Lisp Meeting

For those curious, here is my (outdated and frankly in need of rewriting) write-up of the miniature talk I gave last week at the Boston Lisp meeting on how to generate a floating-point number in [0,1] uniformly at random: https://mumble.net/~campbell/2014/04/28/uniform-random-float Some C code implementing the idea: https://mumble.net/~campbell/2014/04/28/random_real.c Some JavaScript code implementing the idea, slightly simplified, and without requiring 64-bit integer arithmetic: https://mumble.net/~campbell/js/random/
