Very rare thing. If you upgraded to the latest version of SQLite, do know: [sqlite-forum] Heads up: SQLite version 3.52.0 to be withdrawn.

Some important issues have been found with version 3.52.0. In order to give us time
to deal with those issues, we plan to withdraw the 3.52.0 release. In its place, we
Will put up a new 3.51.3 patch release that includes a Fix for the recently discovered
WAL-reset bug as well as other patches. This will happen probably within about the
next twelve hours.

Hence, if you were planning to upgrade to 3.52.0 tomorrow (Friday, 2026-63-14),
perhaps it would be better to wait a day or so for 3.51.3.

At some point we will do version 3.52.1 which will hopefully resolve the issues that
have arisen with the 3.52.0 release.

Hay películas que se miran y películas que se sienten. Esta es de esas que se te meten en la piel como el aire de la madrugada, cuando todo está en silencio y te quedas a solas con lo que eres.
Lo fascinante es que, aunque es una figura que podría sacarnos 'sustos', nos habla de la soledad más humana. Esa que duele. Esa que sentimos cuando el mundo duerme y no encajamos. La ciudad, Bad City, es un laberinto de luces de neón donde la gente va a la deriva.
Y entonces aparece Ella. La chica que vaga con su camiseta a rayas y su velo, más perdida que nadie. Lo inquietante no es lo que es, sino lo que decide hacer. ¿Somos lo que los demás esperan? ¿O lo que elegimos cuando nadie nos mira? La película juega con eso: la identidad, la rabia, la ternura que asoma en los gestos más pequeños, como poner un disco de vinilo.
Es un western de vampiros sin estacas, un western del alma. Un cuento sobre dos almas rotas que se encuentran en la noche y se miran sin pedir explicaciones. Porque al final, todos buscamos a alguien que nos acepte con nuestras sombras a cuestas. Y tal vez el amor sea eso: reconocerse en la oscuridad del otro y, en lugar de huir, quedarse para ver juntos el amanecer. Aunque sea un amanecer de mentira, en una ciudad que nunca ve la luz.

9/10.

@pluralistic

and this one:

"if the boss doesn't show up for work, everything continues to operate just fine. If the workers all stay home, the business grinds to a halt"

which, incidentally also applies to societies as a whole.

Since the 90s my parents have been terrified of computer viruses. A couple of weeks ago they started using doordash so I warned them about the bean virus, where you start getting random cans of beans delivered to the house.

Since then I've been anonymously doordashing them beans

iso paper sizes are delicious: sides are 1:sqrt2 or about 1:1.414

A4 is 210x297mm

A4 folded in half is 148x210 or A5.

A3 is two A4s, or 297x420

go to A0 841x1189 or one square metre.

A-1 (A Minus One) is 2 square metres.

Australia is ~A-43

The visible universe ~A-179

A proton about A139.

A Quark? A151

Presumably A232 is one dimensional though, as it's planck length on the long edge.
