I forgot about 6NF which I consider non-canonical fan-fiction. As far as I understand it is only useful in the context of data-warehouses. But the other normal forms reduce redundancy which is what makes inconsistencies possible.

But you are talking about 1:0..1 which is different from plain 1:1 relationships.

If multiple columns can only be null/non-null together it indicates a dependency which should be normalized.

This article uses “normalize” to mean “splitting into multiple tables”. But splitting into multiple tables is only normalization in the cases were it reduces data redundancy. If the resulting two tables are 1:1 and you dont save any data, t

Joins are cheaper than the alternatives. If you have billions of rows you need to search through for a single row, it will be costly unless you have the appropriate indexes. Storing data in JSON fields or similar is only going to make it sl

Where do you place the burden of proof when someone makes up a story with no evidence and which contradict all legitimate histocal sources - and another comment calls bullshit? The grandparent anecdote is very clearly a work of imagination,

I was just following the “what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence”-principle. There is just no evidence that Ellis Island officials made up names, and this is a very througly studied area of US history.

Don’t take it on my authority. Read any historical source about what happened at Ellis Island, eg. https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/ellis-island-facts-and-... Even wikipedia has it under the “Name-change myth”

The officials at Ellis island did not ask for names and then write them down, they used written manifests from the ships.

Yeah, just as an example religious Jews and Muslims do not subscribe to “material world is all that exists” but nevertheless does not belive in the ressurrection of Jesus.

As originally used by Petrarca, “dark ages” referred to ignorance and lack of civilication compared to classical antiquity.

The only historical evidenence for the ressurection of Jesus is second-hand testimony about people who allegedly saw him. And even in this testimony it is emphasised the witnesses did not recognize the person as Jesus. So outside of the que

The church didn’t move the celebration as such, since nobody knew when Jesus was born in the first place. The bible does not give any date (not even a year). We dont really know how the church came up with december 25. The theory it was s

An “internal DSL” is a library with a a design which makes it “feel” like a language. JQuery is the classic example. An “external DSL” has its own syntax, like regexes.
