Northvolt executives spoke of going public at a valuation of $20 billion.

![[Перевод] Опасности первичных ключей UUID в SQLite и оптимизация данных](https://times42.com/media/8/3/5/12558835_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Опасности первичных ключей UUID в SQLite и оптимизация данных")

В этой статье я попытаюсь помочь вам выработать более интуитивное понимание того, как влияют на производительность все. Read more ›

На интуитивном уровне кажется, что если машина делает ту же работу в 8 раз быстрее, то бизнесу нужно в 8 раз меньше людей. Но экономика и история индустрии говорят об обратном —... Read more ›
