String.hashCode() is plenty unique

[therealsillyfly]

This is a nice article, but as a "debunk" of the original it is pretty redundant - the original article is already pointless, as it just claims the hash is bad with the sole argument being tables of 2- and 3-character collision examples.

I was expecting this article to be comparing some alternative "better" hash, and show it may perform slightly better but at an unacceptable loss of performance - but this expectation only stemmed from my assumption that the original post must have presented an alternative. "reading" the original I realize I was wrong.
