The dislike for ObjC always makes me sad. They got so much right in that language, and yet it was so rejected :( I'd argue that the one thing they didn't get right from the start was blocks, they should have lifted that from Smalltalk at once even though it would have had a negative impact from a performance point of ...

I don't see an error there...it looks like its purpose is to get a value of `i` that *isn't* in the range `MIN_VAL`:`MAX_VAL`. It doesn't seem ideal because it can *potentially* spend a lot of time doing this until it finds a value that fails the `while` clause. E.g. if MIN were 0.001 and MAX were 0.999, it could take...

If you are using different SSH keys on each server, you'd only end up losing that server's private key if it got compromised. Unless you are implying the hacker ssh's into every machine individually to gain those other private keys. In that case, you could prevent this by using passworded private key authentication.

There's a good reason why you leave the IDE open, and that's that it's a pain in the butt to restart. If loading the IDE was faster than you might close it down and reopen it on demand. Doing that means that you reduce the amount of windows you need to leave open all the time.

You take `i`, a random integer, and make sure it is no bigger than the difference between the smallest and largest values. Then you add the smallest value to it. `i` is therefore at least the smallest value, and no bigger than the largest value.

Actually, the story of GCs in Rust is amusing. Those who knew Rust pre-1.0 may remember the `@` sign which denoted GC'ed pointers: `@T` would be a GC'ed pointer to `T`. However, this was a big fat lie. There was actually no GC behind the scenes as nobody ever bothered to implement one: it was a reference counted poin...

The modulo / remainder operator (%) is super handy for keeping a value in a particular range. By itself, that range in (a % b) would be (0 to b - 1).

I see what you mean, but I don't like "terrible" as the word to frame it. We have to be cautious, even paranoid, and we'll have impostor syndrome as a result of all this, but "terrible" is really an overstatement to describe the life of a programmer IMO.

The original intent was to generate a random int that *is* in the range MIN_VAL:MAX_VAL. My original while condition was incorrect, so i negated it and it should now generate a value within the range.

I think Jonathan Blow said it best: in order to move to another language, there is a significant cost in rebuilding libraries, tooling, and learning the new language.

I am not the quickest with math, so I tried it with some real numbers. 0 % (200 - 10 = 190) + 10 = 10 379 % (200 - 10 = 190) + 10 = 199 380 % (200 - 10 = 190) + 10 = 10 Am I missing something, or will the proposed solution never be equal to MAX_VAL?

That code looks correct to me (aside from missing parentheses). If you want an integer number of bits of randomness, you can just use something like `rand() & 0xF`. If you want a uniformly random value in an interval that isn't an integer number of bits wide, things are complicated. The common way of doing this i...

The *real* solution would be i = (rand() % ((max + 1) - min)) + min But usually `max` is something like the length of an array, so never reaching it is something desirable.

`rand()` is a C function that returns an integer between 0 and RAND_MAX, which is probably 2**15 or 2**32. The arithmetic version [potentially has a bias](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/66ph5r/everything_is_terrible/dgkg8y3/).

The same logic applies whether you want to call it a local machine or a server.

I find it useful in small applications. That's about it. The largest application we've built with it isn't very big and is riddled with problems. Some of those are due to the developers, many of them are not. I'd be a lot more on board with it if NPM were actually a viable dependency management tool.

D can easily operate with C++14. D and dmd work well on macos, linux and windows. iOS and Android support are lacking. It can compile to emscripten, I don't know what the state of the support is though. It's probably not a great fit for your project, unless you want to start helping to own the tools you use.

I don't think your solution would be able to return the minimum value as i. /u/YourGamerMom proposed i = (rand() % ((max + 1) - min)) + min which allows for the full range. I am very new, so if I'm wrong, let me know.
