Q:Some of your books make it seems like you believe in actual literal magic, do you? () A: I can write down a few words and make people thousands of miles away, whom I have never met and will never meet, laugh tears of joy and cry tears of true sorrow for people who do not exist and have never existed and never will exist. If that isn't actual literal magic I don't know what is.

Wonderful: a public administration in Italy decided to implement an LCG for #random draws to be used in tenders or other official stuff instead of a #CSPRNG (a random number generator backed by good #crypto), allowing whoever is choosing the seed to actually choose the winner.
