We haven't used Druid yet. We did a high level comparison among Druid, Clickhouse & Pinot from material available on the internet. Apparently, all 3 have similar mechanisms. But druid is a little expensive to deploy when at a smaller scale. Clickhouse seems to be performant too. We seem to be inclining towards Clickhouse.

Burnt my fingers with Catalina. Too many issues for it to be released as a public beta. Very much unlike Mojave which was almost problem-free at beta. (Happily back on Mojave now).

I consider someone doing okay if he/she is not having one of the following issues.

(a) He/She lost someone close or someone you love has a life-threatening disease. He/She most likely is having a tough time comprehending life/death or the futility of aspiring to be like someone else. Life changes in a moment and everything that was important thus far becomes insignificant.

(b) He/She has a tooth ache. You'll agree that when someone has a tooth ache, nothing else matters

I'm sure there are other examples that portray my point. But I think the root cause of this feeling of appearing "incomplete" or "not enough" to yourself is that we as humans tend to unnecessarily compare ourselves with others. I'm not saying you shouldn't have goals to achieve, but just that those goals shouldn't have origins in somebody else's seemingly successful life.

Any small success you achieve on a day-to-day basis should be celebrated. And believe me, a string of such small kinds of successes will make you contented.
