I'm not sure why this got posted again on HN. It's been posted numerous times, though in the past the url used to be https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse so it wouldn't have been caught as a duplicate. Just searching on HB algolia there are numerous posts. eg: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=clickhouse https://hn.algolia.com/?q=clickhouse

Because analytics wasn't in the title and like you said, it's an often repeated post, I thought they were repositioning/retargeting themselves as more general purpose, or something noteworthy, which had me curious.

tosh submits 10-20 articles a day (yet averages about 1 comment every 2-3 days). There's bound to be some dupes.

    They may be using HN as if it's pinboard

    I didn't know HN allows someone to posts that much. This would be a full-time job for a person. Hidden motives?

      Look at his profile. Dude is available on every platform you can imagine. Some sort of influencer maybe?

      This is a common pattern. I wouldnt be surprise that 20% of posted links are from the same 10 users

      Maybe they've got a "submit to HN" bookmarklet, and just whack it whenever they come across something interesting.

  Seems like spam. He posted this link earlier, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_base https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_base Not sure what I'm missing but that doesn't seem interesting at all. Almost something a bot would pick randomly.

    I'm not very familiar with baseball so the concept of a "stolen base", the rules around it and how they changed over time were a fascinating read for me personally and I thought it might resonate here as well. It seems like it did not. My heuristic for submitting is when I come across something (in this case ClickHouse) that I find useful or fascinating (a-ha moment) where I also think this might be of interest to others here (filter).

  FWIW, I don't see a problem with that level of posting. They are simply sharing things they find interesting with the community. If the community disagrees, it does not get upvotes. I might think it spammy at 100 a day, but 10-20 just feels like an active participant. And it balances out those of us who never submit links, but do comment.
