[GSoC] Mir.random.flex - Generic non-uniform random sampling

[Seb via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Hey all,

I am proud to publish a report of my GSoC work as two extensive 
blog posts, which explain non-uniform random sampling and the 
mir.random.flex package (part of Mir > 0.16-beta2):

Before I start my personal retrospect, I wanted to use this 
opportunity to give a huge thanks and acknowledgement to my two 
awesome mentors Ilya Yaroshenko (9il) and Joseph Wakeling 
(WebDrake).

As I wrote my first line of D code this February, I have learned 
quite a lot during the last few months. Github allows to list all 
merged contributions, which might show that I got quite familiar 
with dlang over the time:

… and with other D repositories:

I am pretty sure you now know me from the NG, Github, IRC, 
Twitter, Bugzilla, DConf16, the DWiki, #d at StackOverflow or 
/r/d_language, so I will skip a further introduction ;-)

Over the next weeks and months I will continue my work on 
mir.random, which is supposed to supersede std.random, so in case 
you aren’t following the Mir project [1, 2], stay tuned!

Best regards,

Seb
