I found that rubyspec fails. Maybe, an alternative is an optional parameter of `Random.new_seed` for the precision. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12357: Random#initialize with a String https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12357#change-58553 * Author: Nobuyoshi Nakada * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- https://github.com/ruby/ruby/compare/trunk...nobu:feature/Random%23initialize-string Currently `Random#initialize` only accepts an `Integer`. It would be useful to accept a `String` to feed the seed from external sources, I think. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
