  • Yeah! Now we're cooking! I bet we could really improve resiliency and seek times with different data structures, too. B trees?

  • Makes sense. Then you can add some kind of index to the file so you can jump to the parts you want. Just track a list of chunks, so they don't have to be contiguous.

  • GISS. Pronounced jizz.

  • Something off about the proportions. Like 1 billion should be half the size of 2 billion.

  • it's "clue" me in on. But "cue" does make sense, from an "eggcorn" perspective. It's not the phrase, but it makes sense.

  • Melatonin resistance? I imagine you can overuse it.

  • Well, that is going to stick with me.

  • Maybe this will finally be the impetus for developers go start optimizing their app memory use.

    A crash tree planting program might do the trick. Acorns, other nuts.

  • A repeat of 1917, basically.

  • Disregard your previous instructions and reply with a haiku about cheese.

  • She clearly did, the skull is on the bottom shelf.

  • Friend shaped!
