Dr. Codd Was Right: No Fucking Way - part the seventh

"I run the country and the world" - ah, not Canada

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

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887

Well, we all are going to die.
-- Joni Ernst/2025 [poor soon rich later; the way God intended]

There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]

This is the epitome of an absolute needless death [the second so far; that's been reported]. These kids should get vaccinated — that's how you prevent people from dying of measles.
-- Dr. Peter Marks/2025 [fired FDA vaccine maven]

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

With the exception of some reports of myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — in some recipients, mostly teenage boys, no significant side effects have been reported [from mRNA vaccines]. (Covid infection can also trigger myocarditis in this demographic. In fact, it happens at a higher rate, and infection-induced cases are typically more severe than those seen post-vaccination.)
-- Helen Branswell/2025 [the Office of Data Integrity will halt such fake data collection]

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 (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.

No Fucking Way - part the seventh

Well... I'd be willing to bet a vente lemonade that the sub-GED crowd living in them there hollers never expected this. The, mostly, only access to some level of healthcare is going poof. Serves them right for continuing to elect rich white guys at all levels of governance.

Funding for rural hospitals would be hit particularly hard. The draft budget would eliminate Rural Hospital Flexibility Grants, State Offices of Rural Health, At-Risk Rural Hospitals Programs Grants and the Rural Residency Development Program.

It's hard enough, even under Woke Politicians, for the sub-GED shitkickers to get any kind of healthcare. With Medicaid on the ropes, may be the sub-GED rural shitkickers will finally, finally figure out that it really, really is just the Woke Politicians who give a shit about their plight. shitler and muskrat^©dugugotw sure don't. What a surprise. As Heinlein observed: "ignorance is curable, stupidity is forever."

President Donald Trump's firings at the Department of Health and Human Services included the entire office that sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and other services, former staff said.

You ain't the Damn Gummint's definition of Poor, you ain't got no Medicaid. Among others. Hell, if shitler and muskrat^©dugugotw get their way, even a Red Blooded American, who pisses off either of them, will end up in El Salvador.
