On top of being a really good OLAP database, what has been a game changer for me is the built-in connectors for bringing in data from remote sources. It can manage automatic recurring import of a s3 folder containing parquet/json files and it can also connect directly to Postgres. For our data warehouse at a medium sized newspaper, we switched from Druid+postgres+trino to just one big clickhouse node and I’ve never looked back. Much more performant, practical, and a lot less maintenance.

I disagree. As an Infomaniak customer I felt that this information was important. It’s not true that it doesn’t have any impact on customers at all: this protects the customers against scenarios like what happened with Gandi [1] that another commenter mentioned.

Maybe not urgent, but important indeed. Saying that this is "highly disrespectful" and "manipulative" is exaggerated.

Sounds like an actual psychopath.

How did you disable it?

I wonder how it can be trusted if a LLM generates it. They say that "Attribution and citation are preserved in every interaction." but I don't know that's possible with an LLM.

The anecdote about taking 50k IU of vitamin D is really dangerous. Above 4000 daily IU is already putting a lot of people in hypervitaminosis (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21646368/)

When the state subsidizes healthcare, it is in its interest to lower the costs/improve productivity.

I’m in the same kind of situation, what functional medicine, diet and lifestyle changes did you try? What worked?

I also have a chronic yet unknown condition with a similar story as you, would you share privately your prompts?

While I agree that stimulant are overprescribed they can however be at least temporarily helpful to help someone with ADHD get their life in order and make meaningful lifestyle changes in order to get the symptoms under control.

My experience is really similar. When my physical health is good my ADD symptoms are barely noticeable. Medication can however be useful to get your life in order, to be able to carve out time for physical exercise and set up other healthy habits (meditation, journaling, task management system, time blocking etc).

This submission's title is editorialized. The politically charged term "cancel culture" is mentioned nowhere in the article.

Edit: sorry, I confused the original blog post of the professor with the news article.

Medication helped a lot in the beginning, but what really helped in the long term was talk therapy, and setting up helpful systems and habits such as exercising, diet, journalling. But this would not have been possible without taking Ritalin in the first place. I'm mostly off-meds now.

Yes, this is indeed a weird way to frame the effect of coffee on iron absorption. There's a lot of medical litterature about how coffee often play a role in iron deficiency.

The book "Music Theory for Computer Musicians" has helped me a lot. It is quite easy to find as a PDF file online.

In theory yes, but in practice, most workers can not afford quitting and suing their employers. There is a huge asymmetry of power, and unions exist to reduce this asymmetry.

Medications can help temporarily, but then tolerance appears and you need to up the dose. I think they are mostly helpful in the range of a few months up to a year, as a crutch to help someone sort their life out (professionally and/or academically), and also in terms of setting up efficient organizational techniques, developing helpful practices for focusing (meditation, exercising, diet). It helped me a lot in this way, I was then able to quit ADHD meds while retaining a much improved focus ability.

It can also be linked to the rise of individualism, an essential part of the capitalist ideology.

From my experience, tolerance can be an issue indeed. But in the short to medium term, stimulant therapy can definitely help a lot. However, while ongoing stimulant therapy it is important to work on more durable solutions such as meditation, exercise, and diet. With this, I was able to slowly decrease my stimulant dose, and I now only use them when I really need them. Without them, I couldn't have gathered the focus I needed to sort my life out academically and professionally while developing long-term healthy habits that helped with my ADHD.

Actually, it turns out that even in woman-dominated professions, being a man is advantageous. [1]

As a software engineer working 60% as well, I'm currently using my 40% for studying towards a degree in a non-tech field (social sciences). I'm glad that my country (Switzerland) has such low tuition fees which makes that kind of continuing education possible.

I've re-read Siddhartha at various times of my life and it had a profound impact on me each time. Can't recommend it enough.

If white males were systemically discriminated by their gender and their skin color, a fund like that would be a good idea yes.

If everybody stopped mining I would start mining.

If I understood the system correctly, at that point mining would become much less profitable so a lot of miners would stop their operations. In that case, difficulty would automatically decrease at the same rate as miners quit, and at some point it would become somehow profitable for the remaining miners to subsist on transaction fees.
