For those curious, here is my (outdated and frankly in need of
rewriting) write-up of the miniature talk I gave last week at the
Boston Lisp meeting on how to generate a floating-point number in
[0,1] uniformly at random:

Some C code implementing the idea:

Some JavaScript code implementing the idea, slightly simplified, and
without requiring 64-bit integer arithmetic:
