mircea_popescu: that's what strings are. "stuff you use regexps on"
gabriel_laddel: wtf is this. lisp doesn't have strings?
mircea_popescu: (this, incidentally, would be the lisp/perl difference imo. lisp does not have strings, perl does not have sexprs. in spite of pretending on each side)
mircea_popescu: you are aware organic molecules are actual strings.

mats: anyone have an idea how to google strings of symbols? escaping doesn't seem to work
Chillum: we can remember concepts at much higher information levels than random strings
mircea_popescu: the only reasonable way to go forward at this point would be a) edit the source of the ssl we intend to use to include a magic string ; b) make ; c) strings on the binary.
Chillum: so if it is set to UPC only you can still activate QR and inject long strings, which a lot of software does not expect
mircea_popescu: he has a boss in rh who has a boss who has an orlov who has an etc. six strings long, the flea circus.
punkman: Adlai, and for extra fun "Short strings, given simply in quotes as above, are treated as numbers; long strings, surrounded by the text keyword as above, are treated as array-like objects"
assbot: Re: two questions about strings - Naggum cll archive ... ( http://bit.ly/1xAgvkS )

scoopbot: New post on Pull Your Own Strings: http://thestringpuller.tumblr.com/post/111222539949
joecool: google moved away from unique strings over the past few years... moved to signals, will match synonyms and areas to a query
asciilifeform: so the 'google finds unique strings' thing, sure - can we conclude that i'm the only one alive trying to build 'gnat' on 'gentoo' ? ☟︎
punkman: I've been seeing it more often for various search strings, but I assumed it was personalization
mircea_popescu: much in the way kids used to replace the "made by" strings in the old 8086 days with a hex editor.
mircea_popescu: i don't write any c, either, or c++. i've never written either java or javascript. i sometimes to a little bash, and always to dig up natural language strings in natural language dialects. or otherwise mess the mup.
mircea_popescu: sure, that';s the general idea, have all the magic strings in a file somewhere.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla : can assbot match 32 char strings as keyids instead of names ?
mircea_popescu: i always liked the "fuck you, they're strings, and concatenation is the only operation" approach.
asciilifeform: to follow the analogy, rms was offered computer that came with 'strings' - promise not to xxx, etc. went off to make own.
mircea_popescu: state the rms "ethical consideration" w/e it is. "nobody may forbid anyone's access to written strings" ?
ben_vulpes: not a record of all strings sent to "#b-a", but a record of all strings sent to "#b-a" as seen by the lN of "assbot".
gabriel_laddel: "nipping at your heels" was not the expression I wanted. something closer to "you can speak random alphanumeric strings at people and they'll nod and smile at you. speak in an angry tone and they'll frown and shake their heads, but this and 'liking' things is the extent of their expressive and intellectual capabilities"

asciilifeform: (especially entertaining in light of the 'strings' bug)
asciilifeform: http://oddlinuxstrings.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/gpg-binarys-strings
asciilifeform: say, if it was able to distinguish cat from dog, and now operates an automated dogcatcher, prior to the renaming of strings, and still can - there was 'substance.'
mircea_popescu: that's what thought is, entirely, all the time : suggestively named strings.
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? ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: what eliza does, what no strings attached sex is.
asciilifeform: somebody had an essay on 'knowledge vs. suggestively-named strings'
BingoBoingo: dgeats: PM, I'll halp troubleshoot to a point, but yes. Private keys stay private. If one of those strings you entered is a private key... Generate a new keypair.

mircea_popescu: "he's our junior high math teacher, focusing on c++ strings implementation"
TheNewDeal: probably just canada with their cups and strings internet

asciilifeform: incidentally, 'strings' is part of many automated malware analysis systems.
asciilifeform: ^ anal orifice in the humble 'strings' unix tool.
assbot: lcamtuf's blog: PSA: don't run 'strings' on untrusted files (CVE-2014-8485)

asciilifeform: aye, but then why fixed byte strings
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: the non-classical version strings are interesting << the first time i said ppl alter their strings ppl hgere were "oh, mp is just making shit up to win an internet argument" < i can see how someone running v0.9 would set the string to 'ducky duck' but not v0.1.
decimation: subtle client strings, etc?
asciilifeform: ask nodes their strings - also elementary
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the non-classical version strings are interesting << the first time i said ppl alter their strings ppl hgere were "oh, mp is just making shit up to win an internet argument"
asciilifeform: it's intended to process strings << incidentally - 'SNOBOL'. i invite folks to read about it. the idea of dedicated 'string processing' languages is rather old, and has not really gone anywhere 'snobol' hadn't gone.
mircea_popescu: decimation no, moreover, php doesn't try to do much. literally, it's intended to process strings.
thestringpuller: we like to think so, but who is really pulling the strings?
asciilifeform: the non-classical version strings are interesting

asciilifeform: jurov: i have made inquiries. they know about it. but no one, readily, yet works for coin. or, more importantly, can be trusted to carry out a contract with the white man without the strings attached to using fiat/usd.
mircea_popescu: if the wallet is old enough you can just do strings wallet
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "Suppose you want to support strings and have a string comparison instruction. You might think that "it's done in the hardware", so it's blindingly fast. It isn't, because the hardware still has to access memory, one word per cycle. A superscalar/VLIW assembly loop would run just as quickly; the only thing you'd save is a few bytes for instruction encoding. On the other hand, your string comparison thingi
mircea_popescu: this is like saying, "i have a computer, it is my duty to generate random strings and publish them"
mats_cd03: and internal MSFT rumors suggest that the skip from windows 9 to 10 was due to developers parsing os version strings of 'windows 95/98' badly, e.g. testing for just 'windows 9' in the substring
