but Meta's versions are significantly different than the old, boring thing that you and I have access to. At my company, we are slowly rewriting our python services in golang because off the shelf golang incurs significantly less costs than off the shelf python on a per request basis.

I will definitely agree that adding more protein would improve health outcomes for indians - all I really wanted to point out is that a reduced intake of protein does not lead to a drastic decrease in lifespan (other effects dominate that). So there isn't an inherent feeling of anxiety in people who are used to that diet to consume protein at all costs and thus start to consider snakes as an acceptable form of food.

I don't know if the diet is healthy or not - I am just stating that the culture itself does not place an emphasis on protein to the extent that snakes or insects become a viable source of food, but still results in healthy lifespans of 90-100 years (anecdotal of course) which is a desirable outcome for me personally. You could say that adding snake meat to my diet will increase my lifespan by 20 years and that would still seem like an outrageous choice for me to make.

Every passing day, I am more happy I am born as an Indian because I know it is possible to live a healthy life without having to resort to the consumption of protein at any cost.

I reflected on my Vim journey after Bram passed away. It has been my only constant professional companion in the past 10 years - from university projects to FAANGs to everything-on-fire startups. All professional work I have done - the ones I am proud of, the ones that I am ashamed of, the ones that got me promotions and the ones that resulted in $M SEVs - was done on Vim. Oses/DBs/PLs/companies/co-workers come and go, but Vim has been forever.

Thanks Bram.

Is the idea here for SQLite to move from DB level locks to page locks and finally to row level locks?

File a claim, there is absolutely no downside to doing so.

The pension fund probably owns shares in the bank, which are now worthless.
