When random isn’t really random: The science of digital chance

An explainer on how pseudo-random number generators shape outcomes in online games and why digital chance is not truly random.

Why I Still Haven’t Upgraded OpenJDK 11 Yet

Most developers don’t wake up and say “I choose OpenJDK 11 because it’s my comfort runtime.” Let’s be real. If you’re still on 11 in 2025, it’s usually not because you want to be. It’s because ...

True Random Number Generation Using Dark Noise Modulation of a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode

Abstract: This brief presents the application of perimeter-gated single-photon avalanche diodes (pg-SPADs) as true random number generators (TRNGs). Typical SPADs have been used as random number ...
