I'm not seeing how any of the suggested changes are an improvement.
Yes, the current scheme isn't mathematically random. That's irrelevant unless mathematically random is a better user experience.
So, let's see some evidence for different schemes that improve the user experience. Note - users don't care about mathematical purity.
- powrtoch 14y agoI don't know what mathematical purity has to do with anything, I was just thinking Principle of Least Surprise, which is a user experience plus. Of course, I'm just going by what I would find least surprising and most useful, but I've heard lots of people express confusion about the behavior described in the StackOverflow question, so it does seem like there's room for improvement here.
