Ah, that's interesting. 32-bits yes you would get some collisions even from good hashes just statistically.
Also now I understand your constraints. Very interesting, so you are designing a custom hash function to use in this specific domain of keys with specific probabilistic properties, and you are thinking that there would be some way you could multiply by a certain prime that would ideally fan out these keys to be evenly distributed over the space?
mulle-objc looks fascinating: fast, portable Objective-C runtime written 100% in C11. I encourage you to post a Show HN I'm sure people here would like it.

- keepamovin 2y agoHahaha! :) Good on you. Nothing to stop you posting again :) Truly I have much experience with Posting Show HN's. There's very little quality difference between something you post that gets 3 points and something you post that gets 300 points. A lot of it depends on time, current dynamic audience, and other posts at the time. Repeat post to get a better idea of the true interest in your work. I encourage you to do it again!!! :)
