Fix the terrible memory subsystem. There is no need to swap on a 16 GB laptop! Especially when Apple solders the drive to board! That leads to premature ware on the board and me having to spend 600$! My Linux machine is perfectly fine running 2 Eclipse IDEs, 3 docker containers and four Spring Boot Services. No swapping. Since macOS disabled overriding the memory configuration, my laptop swaps merely running Safari ( less than 10 tabs), and VSCode for Cordova all with 16 GB.

I've read that there are reasons to use swap other than just as "RAM overflow"
