banksean / mersenne-twister.js
Created February 10, 2010 16:24
a Mersenne Twister implementation in javascript. Makes up for Math.random() not letting you specify a seed value.
/*
I've wrapped Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura's code in a namespace
so it's better encapsulated. Now you can have multiple random number generators
and they won't stomp all over eachother's state.
If you want to use this as a substitute for Math.random(), use the random()
method like so:
var m = new MersenneTwister();

URL Slugs in PHP (with UTF-8 and Transliteration Support)
<?php
/**
* Create a web friendly URL slug from a string.

* Although supported, transliteration is discouraged because
* 1) most web browsers support UTF-8 characters in URLs
* 2) transliteration causes a loss of information

Generating a properly secure SECRET_KEY in Django
"""
Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:
1. It is not random but pseudo-random
2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`
This snippet
1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
2. saves a local `secret.txt`
