How to find N random numbers R, between A and B, that sum to M
Before you complain, I know that this question has already been asked. But, one, it was in Java and C#, two languages I don’t know, and two, I am asking about whole numbers, while the older one is about floating points, which I do not want or need. I specifically need whole numbers. Thus this problem is completely different from the other one asked, and would require a completely different solution. As the other was specifically made for floating points.
Since Garbage Collection is non-deterministic, why isn’t it used for secure random number generation?
I get that /dev/random is a good source of entropy, and is what is usually used– It’s just as I’m reading up on GC, at least in Java, it seems accepted that the garbage collection daemon executes non-deterministically. If this it true, why don’t we use the timing of the garbage collection as a source of entropy instead of the variable /dev/random?

Randomly and uniquely iterating over a range
Say you have a range of values (or anything else) and you want to iterate over the range and stop at some indeterminate point.
How deterministic are SessionIDs from SHA’d GUIDs?
Assume I’m using the following code to generate pseudo-random sessionID’s:
Random access (read/write) in datastructures
Certain datastructures, like Python’s Dictionary, are unordered/random read/written.
As programming in python is iterative (and programming in general is?), how do these unordered datastructures work?

How can I create a set of random numbers based on a total and number of objects?
For example with:
Total population = 400000
Number of villages = 800
The average population is 500
