Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Scalene Scale's Random Utilities

This package contains various utilities that Scalene Scale uses in Scalene Scale's various projects for random number generation.

The unlying PRNG algorithm is Alea, adapted from Johannes Baagøe's archived website. The algorithm was mostly chosen for speed reasons and is not cryptographically secure, so this library should not be used in use cases where security matters.

Installing

npm install github:scalene-scales/scalene-binary github:scalene-scales/scalene-random

WARN: Because GitHub deprecated the git:// protocol, please run the following command to use SSH instead for installation:

git config --global url."ssh://git@".insteadOf git://

See https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/4896#issuecomment-1127023942 for more details.

Maintainers

If the tests values change, that represents a breaking change, so SemVer major version needs to be updated. Fundamentally, such a change implies that, at the minimum, all tests using this library break; and at the extreme, any production usage involved encoded PRNG states will become non-reproducable.

TODO

Figure out why absolute imports break whne this package is installed as a dependency. Figure out if there's a way to cleanly change imports from @scalene-scales/scalene-binary/dist/lib/constants to @scalene-scales/scalene-binary/lib/constants.
