Dream Interpretation | To dream you are eating hash, many sorrows and vexations are foretold. You will probably be troubled with various little jealousies and contentions over mere trifles, and your health will be menaced through worry. For a woman to dream that she cooks hash, denotes that she will be jealous of her husband, and children will be a stumbling block to her wantonness. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
Literature | Hash (A). A mess, a muddle; as, "a pretty hash he made of it." A hash is a mess, and a mess is a muddle. I'll soon settle his hash for him.

- In computer jargon, hash is short for hash function, or used as a verb meaning "to apply a hash function", or to refer to data structures based on hash functions, especially associative arrays.
- Hash is a slang term for Hashish, a form of Cannabis.
- Hash is a food consisting of diced meat and potatoes.
- A hash is also an informal running race in which "hashers" chase a "rabbit" (lead runner) on an improvised course. This usage is evidenced in a number of (particularly British) athletics clubs such as the Hash House Harriers.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A hash function is a function that converts an input from a (typically) large domain into an output in a (typically) smaller range (the hash value, often a subset of the integers). Hash functions vary in the domain of their inputs and the range of their outputs and in how patterns and similarities of input data affect output data. Hash functions are used in hash tables, cryptography and data processing.
Formally speaking, a hash function is defined by its domain (typically variable length strings of bytes), its range (typically fixed length bit-sequences) and the defining function (let's call this function H). The key desired characteristics of a hash function in general are that H(x) ≠ H(y) implies x ≠ y and that H(x) = H(y) probably implies that x = y. Unfortunately, the use of probably here is just too inexact to let us succeed. If the set of all possible values of H(x) is much smaller than the set of all possible values of x, then this latter condition cannot be true if all sequences are equally likely. Thus, the second condition is often restated in different ways to make it plausible. For instance, cryptographic hashes use the second condition in the form that given x, it is computationally very difficult to find y such that H(x) = H(y). Additionally, it is desirable that if we are given x and H(x + s) where + can be bit changing or concatenation, then we can't find s short of exhaustive enumeration. In practice, for most applications other than error correction, cryptographic hashes serve very nicely. The MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms are two of the most popular algorithms although any cryptosystem can be used to create a hash function (as, indeed, any cryptographically secure hash can be used to create a cryptosystem).
For error correction, a distribution of likely perturbations is assumed at least approximately. Perturbations to a string are then classified into large (improbable) and small (probable) errors. The second criterion is then restated so that if we are given H(x) and x+s, then we can compute x efficiently if s is small. Such hash functions are known as error correction codes. Important sub-class of these correction codes are cyclic redundancy checks and Reed-Solomon codes.
For audio identification such as finding out whether an MP3 file matches one of a list of known items, one could use a conventional hash function such as MD5, but this would be very sensitive to highly likely perturbations such as time-shifting, CD read errors, different compression algorithms or implementations or changes in volume. Using something like MD5 is useful as a first pass to find exactly identical files, but another more advanced algorithm is required to find all identical items. Contrary to an assumption often voiced by people who don't follow the industry carefully, hashing algorithms do exist that are robust to these minor differences. Most of the algorithms available are not extremely robust, but some are so robust that they can identify music played on loud-speakers in a noisy room.
The term "hash" apparently comes by way of analogy with its standard meaning in the physical world, to "chop and mix." In the SHA-1 algorithm, for example, the domain is "flattened" and "chopped" into "words" which are then "mixed" with one another using carefully chosen mathematical functions. The range ("hash value") is made to be a definite size, 160 bits (which may be either smaller or larger than the domain), through the use of modular addition.
Hash tables, a major application for hash functions, speed up the lookup of a record of information, given a key (note: this use of the word key is separate from its meaning as a code for encrypting data). For example, an alphabetic string might be used to look up an employee record in a database system.
Hashing can provide almost direct access to records, which means that, on average, a lookup can require just one or two probes into the memory or file containing the records. (At the other extreme is the worst case, in which lookup proceeds by comparing the key with each record in turn -- this linear search can require examining all the records.)
Assuming the key to be a string of bytes, the hash function should be an index into the records that has random distribution over expected strings. Otherwise, there will be more key "collisions" and hence degradation of lookup time. If, for example, a key is alphabetic, then each byte can have only 26 of its possible 256 values. So simple functions will not probe all record indices evenly.
When speed and good distribution are important, and the key is an array of bytes, one good function to use is Pearson Hashing.

Hashish consists of the tetrahydrocannabinol-rich resinous bulbs known as trichomes as well as other minute plant material from the male and/or female flowers of the cannabis plant. It is separated from the plant via various sieving methods, cold-water extraction, or chemical extraction. The resulting plant material is known as kif (aka keef). The kif is compressed into blocks which are easily stored and transported, without degrading the THC content due to oxidation. Pieces are then broken off, warmed up and sometimes mixed with tobacco or marijuana, and smoked in pipes, joints or hookahs. Since THC is fat-soluble, it is also possible to dissolve hashish in butter used for cooking. The Middle East and North Africa and in particular Morocco, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are the main sources of hashish, although the science of hash extraction and the rapid dissemination of this knowledge means that more and more people are making hashish for personal use, using readily available materials or custom built devices such as Bubble Bags.
Black hash, which is generally produced in Nepal, Afghanistan, and India, generally produces a more relaxing, mellow effect. Blonde hash, often from Morocco and the Netherlands, tends to produce more active and cerebral highs.
Hashish is widely available in Europe, as opposed to Marijuana which is more sparsely available on the whole. This is probably because hashish much more compact, and thus much easier to smuggle than Marijuana. Blocks of 100, 125, 200 and 250 grams of hash are common. In some places a block is dissolved, mixed with a foreign material without psychoactive or intoxicating properties, and re-pressed into a hashish block, which is sold as if it was the pure product. This is known as Soap, probably as soap is a commonly suspected additive.
Pure, properly stored hashish of premium quality is soft and moldable by the heat of the fingers alone. Old, improperly stored hashish of poor quality is rock hard and brittle, and has to be heated substantially before it becomes soft enough for use. Most hashish falls in between these two extremes, and the tactile qualities also vary according to the methods used in extraction and pressing.
Many believe that the word assassin derives from the Arabic word Hashshashin, an Islamic sect of militants who supposedly were avid hash-eaters; however, there are those that disagree, since the effects the Hashshashin reported are not generally experienced by people who consume hash [1].
The THC content of hashish that reached the United States, where demand is limited, averaged 6 percent in the 1990s. The marijuana at the CannaTrade 2002 had THC levels ranging between 8 percent and 28 percent; the latter is comparable to some grades of hashish. Note that higher levels of THC do not necessarily imply higher levels of THC consumption, as users will frequently self-titrate (at least when smoking or using a vapouriser), consuming only the desired effect is reached; admittedly, though, it is easier to overdo with more potent material. However, when it is practiced effectively, higher-THC material is healthier to consume, since fewer tars and particulates are inhaled to get the same high.
