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.

Free just got cheaper.

Yeah, I know using free software isn’t a panacea. Still it would be a step in the right direction, plus I could not refrain from the cheap shot at M$ Windows.

Quite offensive its characterisation of Posix, given RMS’ involvement to make GNU viable, as far as memory serves me.

‘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.
