Astral Launches pyx: A Python-Native Package Registry
Astral unveils pyx, a Python-native package registry in beta, designed to speed installs, enhance security, and integrate deeply with uv.
A pseudorandom number generator based on http://burtleburtle.net/bob/rand/isaac.html.
Sometimes useful for simulation in place of MT19937 (which ruby's #rand is based on), even though ISAAC's number distribution quality is not as good, because it is faster and the state is lighter, so you can have many of them.
This is useful when you need multiple pseudo-random sequences that are independent and recreatable.
If you care about small state and not cryptographic security, use ISAAC4: the state is about 48 bytes rather then 2K.
