    Slightly off-topic, but can anyone comment on the quality of the EV charging infrastructure in the EU? Outside of owning an EV and charging it at home/work, are fast chargers relia…

    What's different this time around? The author made compelling points regarding capex cycles and supply/demand imbalances. So how does NVDA continue to deliver these returns over th…

    Start small and invest where you have an edge. No edge? Buy the market and keep some gunpowder on the side when an opportunity comes up. Small players have advantages the big guys …

    My use case isn't IOT, but about once a month I get a massive data dump from a vendor. Think tens of millions of rows and 100+ columns. Cleaning, ingesting and querying this data v…

    I don't think Spotify and streaming killed the music subculture, it's still very much alive but requires more intention to find. Back in the day how did you find new music? Pre-200…

    I'd love to see a production grade release of this package with async and BCP support. MSSQL has always been a second class citizen (and rightfully so) amongst its open source peer…
