2018-07-01 Thread Robert Kern
I propose that we accept NEP 19: Random Number Generator Policy: http://www.numpy.org/neps/nep-0019-rng-policy.html The discussions on this NEP were productive and led to a major revision in how stable random number streams will be maintained in the future for the purpose of unit testing. The c
