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

JamesRandom Module

This pseudo random number generator have been written in JavaScript in order to bring a better mathematical behavior that it is present in Math.Random built in function.

JamesRandom is based on CLHEP - A Class Library for High Energy Physics, which is written in C++. This JamesRandom written in JS does not have all the functions that have JamesRandom CLHEP, but it does what it must to do, i.e. generates random numbers (by default between 0 and 1).

One way to use it is:

    var JamesRandom = require('jamesrandom');

    var gen = new JamesRandom({seed: 12345});
    var A = [];
    var sizeA = 40;
    gen.FlatArray( sizeA, A );
    console.log(A);

Public Functions

Name()

Returns String "HepJamesRandom".

Flat()

Returns one pseudo random number between 0 and 1.

FlatArray( size, vect )

Where size is an integer and is intended to be the size of the array vect of pseudorandom numbers.

SetSeed( seed, dum )

Where seed is an integer and dum is another integer generally 0.

SetSeeds( seed, dum )

Where seed is an integer and dum is another integer generally 0.

Static Public Functions
