Coverity does a pretty good job. Of course it requires human interaction - but then, thats the only way to good code quality anyway.

The point is that we wouldn't have a need for these slow-downs if we could just replace the batteries ourselves. The whole thing is geared to make Apple more money, and consumers stupider.

It is, indeed, a rabbit-hole. But I like the Protong bit personally!

I would love for someone to produce a modern dumb terminal - akin to the Hazeltine/VT100 systems of the past, but using modern components. It'd have multiple serial ports, and do nothing but act as a dumb terminal for a Unix sy

I think, the further back in history we go, the kookier things get - and that this is a positive, not a negative aspect of the experience. We in the modern age have conditioned ourselves to be subjugated to science - well, for the humans a

Every time I see something like this, I'm reminded of one of my favourite crackpot/artists of all time, Stanislaw Szukalski and his mad theories about "Protong", the proto-language of a civilisation that was destroyed by

Australians are just wanna-be Americans with a serious case of British-cringe mixed in. Don't take it too seriously mate, we're all part of the same 5-eyes New World Order now, anyway.

Nice little hack .. you get Monero, and I get .. 'tombs.io coins' that can be used to keep me playing each level while you mine .. more Monero! Such a great idea, I think I should do it as well .. ;). But I won't use Firebase

Many times .. over 30 years. And yes, it was mostly due to bugs in the code, which I wouldn't have been able to assess if my machine had just OOM'ed everything. That's the point: swap gives you a little leeway for these ana

There have been many times, in 30 years, where I've been glad I've got swap enabled so I can recover a nearly-out-of-control production system in time, with the right procedures, instead of everything just being killed. Thats enou
