Dr. Codd Was Right: You Lie, Motherfucker

A Psychopath Lame Duck. What Could Go Wrong?

This is Trump's America now!
-- Patrick Egan/2025 MAWA

The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
-- Verbal Kint/1995

Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury coming from foreign sources.
-- Batshit J. Moron/2025 [then show us just one wire transfer from Beijing or Mexico City]

Scientists aren't vocal enough about science. There are large groups of people who think scientists are all frauds and who don't believe in science, and they're being cultured by some of our far right-wing politicians, religious leaders and community leaders.
-- Drew Weissman/2022

To date, Microsoft is stating that organizations testing In-Memory OLTP have seen transaction speeds improve by up to 30 times compared to past performance, with the best performance gains achieved when the business logic resides in the database and not in the applications.
-- Jonathan Watts/2015 [my emphasis]

I have had to explain and re-explain and re-explain and re-explain, you know, how relational databases work, what is an eigenvector, what is dimensionality reduction.

-- Christopher Wylie/2018

... but Flash-based storage has such a different performance profile from rotating media, that I suspect that it will end up having a large impact on filesystem design. Right now, most filesystems tend to be designed with the latencies of rotating media in mind.

-- Linus Torvalds/2007

I believe quite strongly that, if you think about the issue at the appropriate level of abstraction, you're inexorably led to the position that databases must be relational.

-- Chris Date/2009

This Week's thought

Dr. Beck rewrote rules that made it harder to track the health consequences of a "forever chemical" linked to cancer, and therefore to regulate it. She also helped soften limits on asbestos and methylene chloride, a harmful chemical found in paint thinners.
-- Lisa Friedman, et al/2025 [The Greatest Threat in action - what took them so long?]

See you next week in a brand new show^{©Heckle and Jeckle}

Therefore:

In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode machines, there is no reason not to build from BCNF data. Time to do what Dr. Codd demonstrated. Technology has finally caught up with the maths.

You Lie, Motherfucker

Another load of shit from those woke "scientists" who don't read a Bible.

Researchers have detected organic compounds and minerals necessary for life in unprecedented samples collected from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, adding evidence to the idea that asteroids likely delivered the building blocks of life to our planet early in its history.

What!!! You blasphemer!! Ever body know that God made Man in God's image from nuthin at all. Ain't no physics or chemistry (from those Yankee states) dat's gonna convince me otherwise. OK, so we always show Jesus as fishbelly white, even though them Middle Eastern folk are beige or cafe au lait (I learned that one from the internet).
