> there are often fire vaults[

Many years ago I was Unix sysadmin responsible for backups and that is exactly what we did. Once a week we rotated the backup tapes taking the oldest out of the fire safe and putting the newest in. The fire safe was in a different building.

I thought that this was quite a normal practice.

> All because highly paid programmers are scared of RDBs.

Really? That's not my experience over the last thirty years of programming. As soon as relational databases became something that everyone could use we all jumped in And not just programmers either, a lot of people who never wrote a line of code in their lives became adept at writing SQL in order to get around limitations in ERP systems for instance.

Is this problem something that afflicts only younger programmers?

At this stage I think such questions can just be ignored.

The title is misleading, clickbait. The article is in fact about why it probably isn't necessary to be anonymous and even then says nothing particularly important.

> Amazon is almost the only thing that works during COVID

Only in the US, thank goodness. Or I suppose I should say: everything is still working here in Norway, not quite at 100% but close.

Why is everything but Amazon underperforming in the US? It sounds like mismanagement to me.

Sounds like well off people moving from London to a sleepy village in the country and then complaining about the church clock chiming, cocks crowing, and the smell of silage from the farm next door.

Would it be sufficient to just sleep with the bedroom window open? If so how large an opening would be needed?

But children here are generally expected to behave well when in company or public. At least they are where I live in Norway. Children here are generally self reliant but also quiet and well behaved so one rarely sees animosity to children, partly I suspect because the trigger rarely happens.

Well it does say that it is slightly damaged.
