    Before today, ClickHouse users would only see the tables in the default database when querying table metadata from ClickHouse system tables such as system.tables or system.columns.

    Since users already have implicit access to underlying tables in r0, we made a change at 11:05 to make this access explicit, so that users can see the metadata of these tables as well.

    I’m no expert, but this feels like something you’d need to ponder very carefully before deploying. You’re basically changing the result of all queries to your db. I’m not working in there, but I’m sure in plenty places if the codebase there’s a bunch of query this and pick column 5 from the result.




  • Chiming in for something unrelated. Fortran is actually pretty cool and if you need to do a lot of number crunching for scientific calculations starting a project in Fortran is not that bad. I started working on Fortran04 and back then I really couldn’t see any advantage of c++ if we’re talking computations. Now with Fortran23 we’re talking about quite a modern language.

    I mean, if you’re considering Fortran for a project your only other likely choice is c++, and I tell you Fortran feels much smoother and easy to work with if you have to do calculations. I guess if you don’t worry about it being new you could consider Julia, but for many applications Fortran still has its well deserved spot.

    Bunch of things. Indeed Nvidia drivers happened frequently, but that is something you generally expect and got used to fixing and as such it’s no big deal. I remember much pain with Xorg, but also had problems with alsa, network manager, keychain and several other core systems.

    Also, try losing power during some pacman transaction and have fun figuring out what exactly is preventing your system from booting up.





  • Indeed, however this is not a common problem across Europe. That would not explain otherwise why most digital nomads are mostly Europeans. Such issue was mostly generated by the specific tax policies of Portugal who incentivized rich people to move into the country without ensuring this would lead to a common good. All in all, I do not believe this is a problem strictly related to the fact that Portugal is part of the European Union, but rather the result of poor policy planning. Mind you, I’m not saying the policies were without reason, but probably did not obtain the expected results.


  • I’d attribute that problem to Portugal specifically though. Especially to the taxation policies that incentivized people to move to Portugal but without requiring them to specifically set up business in Portugal. This resulted into many people working in other countries to move to Portugal to pay lower taxation. This indeed increased prices, especially for rent but also in general, as those people had higher purchasing power but did not significantly increase salaries. There is a reason why Lisbon is the heaven of digital nomads. I hear things are changing, but I don’t know too much about it. Indeed I know many people in Lisbon who work mostly in other countries. Sure they pay taxes, but that doesn’t directly translate into higher paying jobs.
