Not really. There are many ways depending on your needs. For example, you can partition your space first, then generate randomly inside each of the subspaces. Let's say I need 200 numbers from -1000 to 999. The first range will be 0 to +99, the second -1 to -100, then +100 to +199, and so on. So, to generate a random number I just need an index and the bounds.

When you generate randomized data in an order from the simplest to the most complex.

Great project. I used it a lot, but now I mostly prefer ad hoc generators. Hypothesis combinators quickly become unmaintainable mess for non-trivial objects. Also, shrinking is not such a big deal when you can generate your data in a complexity-sorted order.

I have something like this in my overlays.nix:

  self: super:
  
  let
    callPackage = super.callPackage;
  in {
    darktable = callPackage
      ./pkgs/darktable { inherit (super) darktable; };
  }

And my default.nix in pkgs/darktabele looks like this:

  { darktable, fetchurl, ... }:
  
  darktable.overrideAttrs (_: rec {
    version = "3.0.0";
    src = fetchurl {
      url = "https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-${version}/darktable-${version}.tar.xz";
      sha256 = "7195a5ff7ee95ab7c5a57e4e84f8c90cc4728b2c917359203c21293ab754c0db";
    };
  })
