  • People in large will keep using it because they’ve no clue what a computer is. They just recognise symbols and which order to click them.

    The product keeps on getting worse.

    People will get angry and look for political “solutions” to their own unwillingness to learn.

    As a result all of networking and computing will be made worse, with lots of red tape, solidifying an oligarchy, penalizing the alternatives.

    Just like how there were 1000s of car makers in the 20th century, but now only a handfull. Legislating cars to be shitty DRM-ed smartphones on wheels.

    Doesn’t have to be SQL. But most of the time that quote refers to a relational database.

    Nowadays there are graphical tools that are alright, such that you don’t have to learn a query language. For example (1), (2) or more commercial (3).

    But what’s still important is doing good relational database design. Learning to look at the world as entities and relationships between them. Constraints, keys, indices. There’s books and courses on that. While you’re at that, you’ll probably learn SQL along the way, as it’s so convenient.












  • It’s one of the most democratic countries on earth (1).

    There’s the national, provincial and municipal levels. With some weird stuff like water management (waterschap) being it’s own electable agency outside of the typical political system.

    On the national level there’s the executive (cabinet), and a 2 tier legislative (parliament and senate).

    It has a very low electoral threshold, so new parties can come (and go) quite fast. Last elections BBB (Boer Burger Beweging/“Farmer Citizen Action”) was such a surprise winner.

    Governance is almost always through a coalition of parties.
