The distribution is super important here too. Hashing any value to zero (or h(x) = 0
) is valid, but a terrible distribution. The challenge is getting real-world values hashed in a mostly uniform distribution to avoid collisions where possible.
Still, the contents of the article are useful even outside of hashing. It should just disclaim that the width of the output isn't the only thing important in a hash function.
If a trans flag is political, then so is a cross. In fact, I'd argue religion is more about politics than it is about faith these days.
Makes me feel for the people who actually use religion as a tool to better themselves and not just as a tool to argue for something when no better argument exists.
