What makes Postgres (or any decent relational DB) fall down in this case?

Why would a future Liberal goverment restart it if the past one wanted to shut it down but didn't have the guts (or at least that's my understanding of the article)?

And it works pretty well. A lot of internal and external JSON APIs are a good fit.

I've found the article ok, but it would have been a much nicer read without all the emotional stuff and just kept - serverless is pushed as panacea but actually isn't a good fit because...

I believe your options are glucose–fructose syrup or aspartame - I'd lean towards aspartame as well. If sugar was an option I'd gladly cut the daily intake and go with that.

Actually it ended only the Kosovo war, which started few years after the wars with the victims you mention ended.

Can't argue with NATO forces effectiveness in that operation though.

That would be a nice change too. Also THEN, BEGIN, END to replace varous brackets.

But they are weak (< 60w) and I personally haven't seen them in stock recently.

I support you. I've been living in a city with no billboards for a while - it's rather boring for various reasons, billboards would be an improvement.

Could you share the stuff that you're working with which make feel that the issues you mentioned are completely ruining the language? It sounds quite intriguing. I have mostly used in the last decade for basic JSON APIs and desktop application where I haven't really encountered those.
I have used only Firefox from version 2 to about 102 (can't remember exactly). Performance was bad at some point but it was't unusable. What finally drove me away was the constant stream of UI updates - some may have been improvements but not so major to have been worth of the pain of adaptation period, some have been just...ugly.

Interesting...I remember MS Word 5.1 on Mac being slow and crashing so often I was saving a new document every minute or so. Word Perfect (on the same mac) was stable and fast. But feature-wise both were complete for me - then and today I guess.

It's rather incomprehensible and related to local politics. It's not clear if he can do anything at all so it might be just posturing.
