I just read this awesome post by inhuofficial about a random password generator written in pure CSS. It follows a similar approach as some other pu...

If we're breaking things down then this isn't true either, right? Some electrons are always being passed around and electricity is already following. It is neither constant not discrete and certainly not digital. In fact nothing about zeros and ones has anything to do with electricity at all but with information theory which posits exalt that reliable, digital systems can be created from unreliable analog ones. Interestingly enough, if you could go the other direction, you probably could get true random numbers but at that point Claude Shannon decided he had done enough and wanted to do juggling for a while.
Anyways, that's been your pedantic aside 😁
You're technically right, yes. Usually it's either a lot of electrons (as in 6.24 * 10^18) flowing, or next to none. That's usually enough of a difference to be more or less reliable in a sense. Of course, quantum weirdness plays in as well. A CSS-only-RNG needs a user to give an input to settle down on a single number, much like a particle in a superposition needs an observer. 😄
Thanks for the shout out....even if you did “steal” my next article idea (and annoyingly write it better than I would have!) 🤣🤣🤣
Aw, no way, really? 😅 Your article got me thinking about the topic, I found it really inspiring!
Only kidding, loved the article. But i was having the same thoughts!
Followed! ❤️
Thank you so much! Great minds think alike, they say :) Followed back!
The problem with that sentence is the second part “great minds think alike...but fools seldom differ”....I will give us both the benefit of the doubt on this one though 😜🤣🤣🤣
Yep, I tend to ignore the second part usually😆
We will have it for real one day: github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues...
Woho, looking forward to that! :D I wonder what kind of designs people come up with once this hits the browsers.
This was one of those articles which is so well written that despite my knee-jerk reaction being "too technical, abort", I kept reading till the end!!
You definitely have a flair for writing complex stuff in an easy to digest manner, keep it up!
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! I'll try my best to further create such content :D
Thanks for the great article!
Glad you liked it! :)

That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing this, I need to dig deeper into that 😀
