This repository attempts to list them all.

    // We play this game because we want this to be callable even from places that
    // don't have access to CallFrame* or the VM, and we only allocate so little
    // memory here that it's not necessary to trigger a GC - just accounting what
    // we have done is good enough. The sort of bizarre exception to the "allocating
    // little memory" is when we transfer a backing buffer into the C heap; this
    // will temporarily get counted towards heap footprint (incorrectly, in the case
    // of adopting an oversize typed array) but we don't GC here anyway. That's
    // almost certainly fine. The worst case is if you created a ton of fast typed
    // arrays, and did nothing but caused all of them to slow down and waste memory.
    // In that case, your memory footprint will double before the GC realizes what's
    // up. But if you do *anything* to trigger a GC watermark check, it will know
    // that you *had* done those allocations and it will GC appropriately.

Still not the best thing to see when working on an open source project.

If only string maps were known to human kind :)

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

This might skirt the lines between humor and horror :)

Ask a programmer to review 10 lines of code, he'll find 10 issues. Ask him to do 500 lines and he'll say it looks good.

Everybody loves me!

This community was started a little under a week ago, and in that time, over 100 people decided that this has some sort of worth to them and subscribed.

To them I say thank you for being here and for your vote of confidence. Hope you'll be here for a long time.

For the new comers, welcome, I hope you enjoy it here!

"VPN of Sadness" really does it for me :)
