Happy Gotcha Day to Izzy! She came to live with us on July 11, 2020, and it’s been six years of sweetness and love. She was too scared to come out of her crate when we picked her up from the rescue van and too scared to walk up the front steps to our house. Now she is the sweetest dog and completely comfortable in our house. (Yes, the bangs are new. She’s on a medication that causes some dogs to grow more hair.)

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …
