The Weird and The Wonderful

The MDN explains[^]

The Math.random() function returns a floating-point, pseudo-random number in the range 0 to less than 1 (inclusive of 0, but not 1) with approximately uniform distribution over that range

var counter = 1;
var MaxLoops = Number.MAX_VALUE;
// note MaxLoops = 1.7976931348623157e+308

function runForZero(){
    console.log("running...");
    for (var x=1;x<=MaxLoops;x++)
    {
        var rnd = Math.random();
        if (rnd === 0)
        {
            // if the random value generated ever equals 0, then give message and exit.
            console.log("rnd is " + rnd + " It took " + counter + " tries.");
            return;
        }
        if (counter % 5000000 == 0){
            // For every 5 Million random numbers generated, output so I can tell it's running
            console.log(new Date().toTimeString() + " - Still running : " + counter);
        }
        counter++;
    }
    console.log("Complete.");
    // 04-18-2020 - generated 551,855,000,000 random numbers without generating a zero
}

Open Source 2019 Q4 report:

Younger generations want a faster pace for updates and maintenance, reflecting their general enthusiasm for the work being done in open source. Older Gen X and Boomers, who report higher feelings of burnout, take a less hurried approach. There is even a slight difference in who these generations believe should be responsible for maintenance in open source. We expect this gap to only widen until the time that Gen Z and Millennials make up the greater part of the community. In the meantime, there seem to be some generational gaps that need to be addressed. While the older generations’ attitudes towards big tech in open source could be construed as pessimism or distrust, it may just be a matter of experience — some have decades of veterancy compared to their younger colleagues. Overall, optimism remains high across age groups and younger generations can learn a lot from their more experienced community members.
