RNG Security and Quality
Comments focus on the differences between PRNGs, CSPRNGs, and TRNGs, criticizing insecure implementations like Math.random() or rand(), and advocating for cryptographically secure random number generators in programming.

Better moral is that humans are bad at generating randomness, use CSPRNG.
You could just use a better RNG in the first place.
This is one of those times you'd really want to use an actual random number generator, rather than a pseudo-random number generator.
Wouldn't that mess with RNGs?
I would like to see the code that breaks if PRNG is swapped. I mean, like is there code out there that relies on the unrandomness of current rand?
So, it's like TRNG versus PRNG ;-)
a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator would be nice, too.
Given that it's a two year old post they may have changed their PRNG.
... just don't use their random number generator!
Could be actual random data is used, rather than a PRNG
