Mon Feb 17 22:22:20 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> == converts to numbers when possible ( 123 == "123foo"? although "123" != "123foo"), which means it converts to floats when possible. So large hex strings (like, say, password hashes) may occasionally compare true when they?re not. Even JavaScript doesn?t do this.
Mon Feb 17 22:17:49 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> Weak typing (i.e., silent automatic conversion between strings/numbers/et al) is so complex that whatever minor programmer effort is saved is by no means worth it.

Thu Jan 30 03:10:00 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> so hire a secretary, make her type random strings for half a year
Sun Jan 26 04:04:18 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> not that such a thing should ever be said to anyone in any context, let alone in response to "hi lol, we hardcoded random shit because magic strings are cool"
Sat Jan 25 14:40:12 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> we're not equal, even if we can type the same strings in a box they still aren't the same strings. depends whose name signs on them. we're not equal, even if two people have "the same idea", in one head it's an idea, in another head it's nothing.
Fri Jan 24 04:45:16 UTC 2014 <kakobrekla> anyway, be careful with strings and cans, one might get choked or cut yourself on the edge
Sat Dec 21 00:21:12 UTC 2013 <mike_c> i can provide strings of arbitrary length
