Erlang I assume is a computer programming language? On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 10:18 PM, Paul Rubin wrote: > Dennis Lee Bieber writes: > > No language can guard against independent access of a shared/global > > object by multiple threads... > > Erlang? > -- > htt

What does the term "thread safe" mean exactly. I never had to program with "threads" before On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 2:26 PM, Carl Banks wrote: > On Aug 15, 12:49 pm, Alan G Isaac wrote: > > Quotinghttp://docs.python.org/3.1/library/random.html#random.gauss: > > Gaussian distribution. mu is t

random.gauss vs. random.normalvariate

Quoting http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/random.html#random.gauss: Gaussian distribution. mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation. This is slightly faster than the normalvariate() function defined below. So since both are offered and gauss is faster, I assume it must have
