TL;DR: Yes, dodge enemies and use shortcuts. Some levels require the use of glitches to make other monsters kill the final boss.

I discovered a similar limit with postgresql, mainly due to the protocol sending the query length as a 16-bit number, limiting the total length to ~65k characters. In that case it was far better to create a temporary table and JOIN that rather than using an " IN (..)" clause anyway, so that's another option if SQLite supports it.

The implementation is fantastic.

Spoiler: It even comes with it's own "vaporwave" easter egg, triggered by the Konami code

Works on any car, actually. Results are not as great but from a safety perspective it seems comparable.

It's worth checking that the laptop actually works as per spec.

I just replaced a Mid-2012 MBP's hard drive cable. It hadn't failed outright, but the system would take a very long time to read/write anything from the drive, constantly freezing apps.

Once I installed a new cable ($12 off amazon), it's speedy again.

Here's a couple of projects that I've been personally impressed with. I hope you don't mind a non-Github repo in there..

  - REDIS @ https://github.com/antirez/redis
  - Postgresql @ http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=tree;f=src;hb=HEAD

  - Guava @ https://github.com/google/guava
Javascript

Sonatype nexus can proxy npmjs. Works ok for our build servers, but in my setup developers still use npm locally so I don't know if there are any gotchas using nexus exclusively.

Imagine simulating a human brain. I'm not sure how massive a computer would need to be today to simulate the neurons, but an efficient implementation can be made to be the size of.. Well.. A brain.

I could see this causing massive changes in society. An artificial intelligent simulation of a super-smart human, that can be tuned toward a specific problem area and made much more focused and efficient than a purely biological brain could work...
