mircea_popescu: this is actually usable to describe a lot of the plain text, and exponentially more so when i know that debug.log tends to contain a lot of "connection" 
strings.
 mircea_popescu: esp since i know plenty of 
strings likely to appear in the plaintext.
 ascii_butugychag: v is simply a mathatron that deals in the basic operation h,s1,o,s2 where s1 and s2 are 
strings, h is an operation (usually a hash) for recognizing said 
strings via trapdoor, and o is a transform
 mod6: be back in a few to sort out the patches that need re-grind after I submit the integrated programmable-version-
strings vpatch and the reground mikehearn one
 polarbeard: mircea_popescu: you mean how those macro 
strings are actually used?
 ben_vulpes: well there is a line break between those two 
strings assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 17:53:21; mod6: <+ben_vulpes> yo mod6 what does it mean in perl to do my $var = "string" . \n "otherstring" is the period a linebreak escape in perl, and the variable implicitly a concatenation of the two 
strings << where do you see this?  this is not a thing. that would fail to compile/pass-interpreter-smell-test.

 pete_dushenski: mod6: in other news, i can't seem to get -setvernum to work either? or how can I tell that it worked? << hm. has anyone actually used 'version-
strings' in praxis ? seems like several failed attempts now.
 pete_dushenski: mod6: i have a question about the version string patch... i seem to have applied it correctly but i'm still seeing version "50400" even when trying the '-setvernum' command so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. this is a new instance that's in the process of syncing, not 'tevye', which properly shows '99999'. i used the original 99997k script and applied 'version-
strings' and 'hearnificarum' manually and both are now
 mircea_popescu: anyway, re the other point : even if scheme does in the end become an integral part of sane error management a) his work is very important for providing the structure that'll illuminate that and b) will prolly be mostly reused 
strings in different wrapping anyway.
 mod6: so im highly tempted to actually just rename the seal files in the mirror for Programmable Version 
Strings and the Malleus Mikehearnificarum, but will resist.  you should probably just re-post as annoying as that may seem.
 mircea_popescu: and similarly you gotta do the phd'ing for facebook, so they figure out whether it's more productive for their goals to include or to exclude 
strings matching $pattern.
 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform watch that some towelhead with a quart of brie between his legs stole some code and did the usual "i am 15 yo coder and i can replace 
strings" thing to it.
 assbot: Logged on 14-11-2014 21:29:47; asciilifeform: the idea in the article can (and has) been rephrased like this. if you remove all the 'suggestively-named 
strings' like 'understand' - and replace with 'gensyms' - e.g., 100324 - does the resulting machine still do or even appear to do anything of interest?
 assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 23:46:05; shinohai: Also mod6 re: version 
strings, placing flags first had zero effect so I probably did something wrong. :/

 ☟︎ mircea_popescu: but of course you can't SIMPLY ADD 
STRINGS NUMERICALLY right ? :D
 mircea_popescu: dude if you imagine it is acceptable for me to sit here looking at two 
strings AND NOT KNOW exactly what the machine will do if i tell it to search
 mircea_popescu: if you think i'm about to load my head with random 
strings...
 mircea_popescu: i can if you wish pick a page of 
strings theory for you to transform into any other theoretical framweork of your choice. but might as well take a page of source from gcc and write the lisp.
 BingoBoingo: Yeah, lots of pseudo nodes with XT user agent 
strings mircea_popescu: "c thinks arrays are 
strings, mp" "oh i see, makes sense"
 shinohai: Also asciilifeform ty for Programmable Version 
Strings patch
 mircea_popescu: trings"), and I have a std::vector<char*> object ("a mutable vector of mutable built-in 
strings"), then I can't pass it to your function because the types aren't convertible. You have to admit that it doesn't make any sense, because your function guarantees that it won't change anything, and I guarantee that I don't even mind having anything changed, and still the C++ type system gets in the way and the only sane worka
 mircea_popescu: do you basically grep for 
strings or is there more to it than that ?
 mitch_callahan: ha close to it, using his last 
strings to lobby against uber
 mircea_popescu: dude you gotta be kidding me, three fat chicks in colorado made up a bunch of 
strings and now you're quoting them at me ?
 jurov: 
strings+can now allow uploading of arbitrary content?
 PeterL: wouldn't that make 
strings take up twice as much memory?
 ascii_field: but what if - per last night's thread - you decided that you DON'T WANT TO REPRESENT 
STRINGS AS CONTIGUOUS BYTES ?
 jurov: and my code inevitably contains some localized 
strings punkman: dunno, I have a lot of code with unicode 
strings/comments
 mircea_popescu: the models are shit because math is broken because idiots do 
strings theory and social fucking "sciences"
 funkenstein_: thestringpuller, the only "entertainment support" you should need is four 
strings gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: I swear to you that you can input arbitrary 
strings in LISP.
 mircea_popescu: he has an inflammatory reaction to particular three letter 
strings.
 phf: according to bitcoin script documentation "Some of the more complicated opcodes are disabled out of concern that the client might have a bug in their implementation" (
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script). an example of disabled script OP_CAT, Concatenates two 
strings  BingoBoingo: I think alf may be onto something with the BIP 14 user agent 
strings. If nodes are claiming maxint protocol version and not serving a user-agent string to turd nodes.
 ascii_field: 'binary' is what folks call 
strings of bits that will die if raped
 nubbins`: no kidding, every now and then some internal piece of code would return an array of 
strings as a single, very large string, with entries separated by the escape string "#;"
 phf: gribble returns identical 
strings for everyone, so there's no way to know if verify request is directed to you or someone else
 BingoBoingo: Well, not really re-create.  Just fucking up the version 
strings in the name of lulz
 ben_vulpes: if you're storing as the appropriate ints, floats, doubles, 
strings etc
 mircea_popescu: "The exchange sheds further light on the latest work" << yeah. it sheds the following light : "work" by these wankers consists these days of outputting random 
strings from pre-made texts and trying to do a cute seleciton thereof.
 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: yeah. not the best tool but seems like a less shitty effort to show version 
strings offered by things purporting to be bitcoin nodes
 ascii_field: (i.e. connecting gavinized nodes masquerading under old version 
strings)

 mod6: <+jurov> mod6, ben_vulpes, everyone: 
http://bluesky/ml/test/patches.html needs to manually fill data for "Released in/Based on" columns - just version 
strings for every patch, help appreciated << this is 404 for me.
  kakobrekla: from some random source, and I quote; " * Module to easily and possibly securily sign 
strings."

 ☟︎ gabriel_laddel: I'd like to clarify that what I'm finding appaling here is the huge amount of effort spent generating syntatically correct 
strings.
 gabriel_laddel: 7. 
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-04-2015#1113989 << When I change the argument list, rename a procedure, use an unnamed reference why are the holes not marked or filled? Why must I manually declare my local variables and functions? Can't the current top level expression be searched for occurrences then factored out on a keystroke? Why must I balance 
strings, whatever the level of nesting or escaping? Can th
 ☝︎ jurov: maybe the only difference is computer science was constructed from mathematical (or not very mathematical, like 
strings) ideas, where cunts evolved themselves somehow
