The SQLite team faced a similar problem last year, and Richard Hipp (the creator of SQLite) made almost the same comment:
"The malefactor behind this attack could just clone the whole SQLite source repository and search all the content on his own machine, at his leisure. But no: Being evil, the culprit feels compelled to ruin it for everyone else. This is why you don't get to keep nice things...."

Have you experienced the corruption issues mentioned in the original article?

I really enjoyed "Coders at Work". Joe Armstrong's interview really stuck out to me; it seemed like he just thought differently than everyone else in the book. In a way, he reminded me of Larry Wall.

Any idea on what the root cause of the sqlite corruption was? There's some discussion on the SQLite forums about corruption with wasm (I've encountered it myself on a personal project), but from what I understand no one has identified a cause yet.

I misread the headline, and thought it was saying NewsBlur is shutting down one year after Google Reader.
I used NewsBlur for a while, but didn't like the UI. I switched to InoReader.com, and love it.

Along the same lines, I had bad posture for a long time, and always wondered what to do about it. "Stand up straight" was too simplistic, and "do yoga" was too broad.
The solution that worked for me came from books by Pete Egoscue. "Health Through Motion", especially: http://www.amazon.com/Egoscue-Method-Health-Through-Motion/d...
He describes how to analyze posture (once you learn, you see signs of bad posture -- aka muscle imbalances -- in nearly everyone: people at work, at the store, even professional athletes), and then he lists dozens of simple exercises that work to restore your muscle balance. And at some point you'll do an exercise that engages a muscle you haven't used in years, and when that happens, your body feels FANTASTIC!!
The books are just the tip of the iceberg, too. There are Egoscue clinics around the country that can take you to advanced levels.
See the paper "The Cryptologic Contributions of Dr. Donald Menzel" by Craig Bauer and John Ulrich.
