Strange Loop is a multi-disciplinary conference that brings together the developers and thinkers building tomorrow’s technology in fields such as emerging languages, alternative databases, concurrency, distributed systems, security, and the web.
About – Strange Loop (thestrangeloop.com)
Strange Loop was created in 2009 by software developer Alex Miller and is now run by a team of St. Louis-based friends and developers under Strange Loop LLC, a for-profit venture.
Some of our guiding principles:
No marketing. Keynotes are never sold to sponsors. The conference mailing lists are never sold or given to sponsors.
Tech, not process. Talks are in general code-heavy, not process-oriented (agile, testing, etc). There are many fine speakers, topics, and conferences in the process area. This is not one of them.
Technology stew. Interesting stuff happens when you get people from different areas in the same room. Strange Loop has a broad range of topics from academia, industry, and a touch of weirdness.

SQL Server: Copying Data From One Table To Another

Insert With Indexes Disabled – Import and Index Rebuild Finished After 23 Minutes
Insert With Tab Lock and Indexes Disabled – 21 Minutesyou find details about that: Copying Data From One Table To Another – To Disable Indexes or Not To Disable Indexes, That’s the Question.
Apache Impala vs Presto
Apache Impala vs Presto: What are the differences?
What is Apache Impala? Real-time Query for Hadoop. Impala is a modern, open source, MPP SQL query engine for Apache Hadoop. Impala is shipped by Cloudera, MapR, and Amazon. With Impala, you can query data, whether stored in HDFS or Apache HBase – including SELECT, JOIN, and aggregate functions – in real time.
What is Presto? Distributed SQL Query Engine for Big Data. Presto is an open source distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes.
Apache Impala and Presto belong to „Big Data Tools“ category of the tech stack.

Some links about the good old (and dead?) SSAS Multidimensional Cube
Why doesn’t SSAS cache the entire cube?
Also, if you cube is much larger than the memory available to SSAS, then you would expect to see continual IO, and it is likely to be quite well optimised. However, when you have a 64 bit server with a cube that is larger than 3GB but is comfortably less than the server memory, you might be surprised to see the volume of continual IO.

Best Practices for Performance Tuning in SSAS Cubes, you are in right place. Define cascading attribute relationships, for example, day > Month > Quarter > year and define user hierarchies of related attributes (called natural hierarchies) within each dimension as Appropriate for your data

Remove redundant relationships between attributes to assist the query execution engine in generating the appropriate query plan. Attributes need to have either a direct or an indirect relationship to key attributes, not both.

How to check in which language/technology a exe is created?
TrID is an utility designed to identify file types from their binary signatures. While there are similar utilities with hard coded logic, TrID has no fixed rules. Instead, it’s extensible and can be trained to recognize new formats in a fast and automatic way.

Aardvark’d: 12 Weeks with Geeks
Aardvark’d: 12 Weeks with Geeks is a 2005 documentary film about the development of Fog Creek Copilot, a remote assistance software tool. Conceptualization of the film began when Fog Creek Software CEO Joel Spolsky announced on his blog that he was seeking a filmmaker to document the development of the product, then called Project Aardvark.[1][2]
