Those who do not learn the relational model are bound to flounder. For most use cases, there is no reducible complexity in the relational model.

‘in the spirit of open innovation, we’re releasing the source code to MS-DOS 4’ — I should not be surprised. M$ long ago eviscerated ‘innovate’ out of any meaning whatsoever.

This is meaningless. There were no economic gains expected, just avoiding a greater disaster. Given that Swedish economy is fairly integrated with its lockdown neighbours, it would be surprising if there were any economic gains; instead, it is probable its neighbours benefitted from Sweden having avoided lockdown.

Also, the higher death rate is normal and acceptable, in a tradeoff against deaths caused by confinement and the unnecessary prolongation of the epidemic. Herd immunity will arrive earlier, and lockdown-caused deaths will perhaps make Swedes survive more and better.

Now vote me down.

Not at all. Because Oracle does not have multiple databases per instance does not equal a PostgreSQL database to an user in Oracle. On the contrary, it means PostgreSQL is way more flexible, because there we have and databases, and users and schemas as ISO meant it.

Greenwald is a criminal. He is paying a former representative in the Brazilian House to give way for his lover; he used a criminal organization to invade several people’s instant messaging accounts, and has been using the messages out of context to try to stop corruption investigations; and he uses his adopted sons as human shields against criticism.

Only this is not a way to select a DBMS. PostgreSQL adds important features much faster than competitors, it is free and much leaner and more flexible.

Echoes of Risc & VLIW: i432AX, i80860, i80960, Itanic… Intel killed its good non-x86 products, coincidentally all grown out of itself: DEC Alpha, the StrongARM. SSD quality is a joke. The Register must be having a field day too.

This is beyond ridiculous. I was already 14 in 1985, and coming from a quite politicised family I already read newspapers, both for our momentous point in History at the time, and for the Cold War (glad we won that).

Even if the military government did try to boost our national pride with History that, given what we still know, does necessarily begin with Cabral — previous landings were inconsequential — there is no way they would not be happy to claim a Roman connection.

If there is anything to Marx’s claims, it would be because he was (seen as) a plunderer.

Anyway, the military government finished in March, and then we had a populist, centre-right government who could not care less for History.

This is socialism for you. People are so poor they resort to illegal breadwinning. It happens in my native Brazil too, even if were are not overtly socialist (but heavily influenced).

Sensationalism all the way. At least one of the rivers has seen it already in 1 976 (quite recently as far as Geology and Topography go) and several other rivers in several parts of the world do the same or similar things.

Worst case scenario, the water permanently goes elsewhere, either to an aquifer or to another river or lake. People adapt. End of history.
