Comment #2 on issue 3127 by [email protected]: Want more random bits in
Math.random()
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3127
In retrospect, after mulling over the spec a bit, the V8 behavior complies
with http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.8.2.14 [there
exist "approximately uniform distributions" under which
Math.floor(Math.random() * (Math.pow(2,33) + 1)) % 2 is constant]
The performance penalty associated with increasing the entropy probably
outweighs the benefit, and as such I think this should be closed.
