I dont get why people here are so livid that people like to have a tidy desk and/or tidy up before photographing their desk.

Many people also like to tidy up their home a bit before they receive guests or groom themselves before going out for the night. No reason to judge them.

>NOT A DIG AT THESE PEOPLE

This whole comment reads as a dig against these people. They like to have it tidy/or they like to tidy up before photographing their desk.

>Stuff only a few people world wide know about.

Sounds like a good thing to try to increase diversity and recruitment.

>DuckDB is amazing for any sort of fast data analysis when the data is small enough that it can fit on your laptop

It also works great for data that doesn't fit on my laptop.

Because if a "condition" doesn't impact you, will it help to be aware of it? Over treatment can be a real problem. You dont want to take medisine you dont need, or spend much time in a hospital if there is no net positive outcome.

This cancer is a pain. My father was extremely lucky, and was diagnosed early. Next up was months of chemo that left him to be a shell of himself. Then he could be operated. They removed parts of his stomach, his spleen and duodenum. And his whole pancreas.

Complications after his surgery meant he had two more. He is now, three weeks after the first operation learning to walk again. It will be an additional week or two untill he can eat. (Without the complication he would have been walking and eating two weeks after the first operation). Oh and he is a diabetic now, since they removed his pancreas.

Just crossing my fingers that he will get out of the hospital without any more complications, and adapt to the new life.

That depends on your needs and goals. Super strict type checking might not be the most important feature.

Its like saying "if you want a car that is a bit sporty, wouldn't it be best to buy a Lamborghini??

>The students at Scandinavian universities are selected to a degree, but represent a far broader range of the distribution and correspondingly there's a broader range of exam results.

I disagree with that, it is common knowledge that these students will get A's if they do a semester in the US.

If you are very present on slack, ofcourse you dont feel that you are interruped.
