Open Source Computing

Week 4, Sept 16

Dividing into teams

echo "hello and welcome to Open Source" | shasum -a 512 python3

import numpy as np
from randomgen import ChaCha
rg=np.random.Generator(ChaCha(seed=0x1234567, rounds=20))    # use the seed from above
# now rg.integers(A,B) chooses a good integer random value between A and B-1, inclusive
# So to pick someone from among rows A to B on the spreadsheet, we use r.integers(A,B+1)

The ChaCha cipher (here used as a random-number generator) was developed by Daniel Bernstein. See cr.yp.to/chacha/chacha-20080128.pdf.

Each team should select a reporter who will email me every week (generally on Fridays) to let me know your team's progress. You don't have to make progress, but you do have to report. At the moment, your main issue is selecting a project.
