The TinyMUX project depends on Google Code for issue management and for the top, public-facing half of its source code control (subversion). For some time, Google Code has supported diffs from within the browser, and recently Google has added the ability to request and conduct code reviews of changes.
However, there is a limit. Code reviews [...]

Some of the acidic springs dissolve the [...]

You may be familiar with Cyclic-Redundancy Check (CRC) codes and how they are capable of detecting burst-errors up to the length of the code (e.g., an 32-bit CRC can detect any 4 consecutive bytes of error). There are other forms of errors that these codes can detect as well.
You may even have heard that for [...]

After two weeks of Yellowstone, and a few days to give the sunburn a chance to heal, I’ve decided to get back on the diet bandwagon. I’m using the same model (with the same softcode) I did last time.
