Good luck using that for a big list of strings!

I have a better idea! Let's just use strings for everything!

Or, of course, many smaller strings...

Ygg2 | karma 7330 | avg karma 2.02 · | 2024-03-09 13:11:19

I'd rather have several strings good at different things than one size fits all string that sucks equally at many different things.

There's a lot of alternatives, none of them I particularly like best for all cases. So I won't suggest something I don't think is very good. sizeof is particularly bad however for any kind of strings.

I mean, a 64k string is plenty for your everyday string needs.

No, not for my everyday needs.

And for strings.

Strings are overrated, they should never be used until you really need them.

Few tens of strings? I'll give it a try. Just pass over the first, let's say, twenty strings in a follow-up comment. German native speaker here.

If that works for you for anything but very small strings, I want to buy your computer.

jeofken | karma 587 | avg karma 1.27 · | 2021-02-14 23:03:21

Not for us string players :)

oleganza | karma 2758 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2012-10-30 23:21:36

You can look at the strings, but thou shalt not use them or even memorize them.

ikiris | karma 1499 | avg karma 1.75 · | 2023-12-03 02:57:36

Why are you even making strings to begin with most of the time?

Arbalest | karma 772 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2019-07-16 02:14:45

Huh, maybe I'll look into that for my own search needs. If the whole issue is people aren't paying, and this comes without all the other strings, it'd be worth it.

drycnyc | karma 1 | avg karma 1.0 · | 2011-10-14 12:33:42

They're all wrong! It's just a massive array of Strings. No wonder I take so long to recall anything.

gwern | karma 33755 | avg karma 4.24 · | 2018-02-15 21:30:20+00:00

Are you adding OP's strings to the list?

maguirre | karma 218 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2015-05-19 19:00:22+00:00

Out of curiosity What would you have done for strings?

dunefox | karma 3033 | avg karma 2.37 · | 2022-12-08 07:10:53

Usable strings come to mind.

Hexstream | karma 3090 | avg karma 1.91 · | 2010-04-09 08:44:49

Depends how many strings are attached to it.

itronitron | karma 6979 | avg karma 1.95 · | 2018-04-26 22:27:51+00:00

I hope you didn't list String expertise as one of your technical skills.
