6TB - Snowflake Why? That's the boring solution. If you don't have a use case, what kind of queries you would run then opt for maximum flexibility with the minimum setup of a managed solution. If cost is prohibitive on the long ru

Hungary had and still has a state sponsored "elite" education for gifted children. From a relatively early age kids are regularly tested (both materially and curiosity wise) if they are interested in "better" Maths. So t

Hmm, I had to check this and came across this thread on Reddit. NIST has a standard for it, but the exact point is that _that_ can be influenced by them. Also, somewhere in the thread, they mention that it is probably too hard to verify how

Thanks for the comments. I don't have anything against debuggers, but I feel more natural to write into the code and this simplifies it. TBH I haven't tried this or snoop heavily and the project was more of a curiosity of how the

I don't remember response speed mattered until at least ten years after Google's start. Certainly not when they won. They were better. Basic PageRank was better than anything else. And once they figured out advertisement, they kep
