Not only that, but even if larger cards are available, you have to watch out
for the heap that you lose by installing more and more packages. Every
package installed uses some precious heap. Some packages use more, some

Usually this happens because it formerly pointed to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
