I've seen the headline to a CNN interview with Maher (didn't bother reading the interview, since Maher has gone all in on MAGA), in which interview (according to the headline) he posits that there won't be another election. Letting my fingers do the walking through the Yellow Googles yields some disquieting news. While the Constitutional types agree that the President alone can't, Congress sure can. And, such a law/vote isn't in the 2/3 category. So, even with the, currently, very narrow majority in both Houses, there needn't be a 2026 or 2028 election.
Have a nice life. And stock up on brown shirts.
IFF AI, as currently implemented, can intuit Special Relativity from just a clock tower and a moving tram will I take AI seriously.

Welcome to Trumpistan. Leave your Tariffs with the Guard.
The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely aligns with our vision.

We are now buddies with the Axis of Evil.

The world is not linear.

Mass layoffs have begun across the city's largest employer, tipping economic forecasts for the Washington, D.C., region toward recession. Real estate agents are bracing for a housing slump.
-- Campbell Robertson/2025 [as mentioned previously, private equity is licking its chops]
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. -- Dmitry Peskov/2025 [did FDR tell France to capitulate to the Nazis? just askin]

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.

... 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.

This Week's thought
I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world. -- Lisa Murkowski/2025 [so... why the fuck did you vote to confirm almost all Bone Spur Samurai© idiots?]
See you next week in a brand new show©Heckle and Jeckle
In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode (RIP) 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.

Shameless Plug
I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
