Not to take anything away from vmg (what a great pull request!)... but "RealHardComputerScience" is writing a hash function, not swapping out one hash function

Not to take anything away from vmg (what a great pull request!)... but "RealHardComputerScience" is writing a hash function, not swapping out one hash function for another based on some profiling. ;-)
- MattRogish 14y agoAgreed; this just triggered a thought in my brain.
- cacois 14y agoSo "RealComputerScience(TM)", then?
- mikle 14y agoI'd argue that writing a hash function is RealHardMathematics.
- neilc 14y agoIt really involves both: particularly if you want high speed hashing, you need to pay close attention to how your hash function is executed by the hardware.
