Re:Maestro: Netflix's Workflow Orchestrator on Monday July 22, 2024 @11:35PM (#41042285)
Anyone have a recommendation for a workflow orchestrator for single server deployments? Looking at running a project at home and for certain pieces think it would be easiest to orchestrate with a tool like Maestro or Airflow but they’re basically set up to run in clusters with admins to manage them.

Had to work through a weirdness in kubernetes many years ago when using it on prem for a project (not at google). It stands out as the best code base I have had to go through to figure stuff out.

The bank situation in Lebanon is so fucked up it’s not hard to see why.
I paid the $200 to not have to fucking deal with it
PayPal also refused to help me out when i was defrauded. I went to my bank and reversed the PayPal charge and then PayPal sent me to collections. I had previously spoken to them multiple times including the day of the fraud, when they could have stopped the transaction and refused. Fuck PayPal.

What’d he do that was illegal? Seems like he didn’t cheat and insider trading laws don’t seem to apply. Oops crypto is a unregulated market.

Computers made it insanely useful where before it was an interesting view of systematic math.

Does the size of a computer limit it’s energy consumption. Meaning is there an equation describing power consumption limits of a circuit based on size.
I think you’re right and this very well be the beginning of the end of dollar hegemony. Though there aren’t yet good alternatives.
Re:White hat hacker awarded $2M for fixing ETH-creation bug on Saturday February 26, 2022 @12:52PM (#30479879)
Yeah a prize like this will be close to 50%. If you’re w2 remember that your employer covers like 25% of your tax burden. So when you self employee or win an award like this you end up paying that tax plus the tax your more used to.
Where does this portrait of Russia as an incompetent troop army come from? I thought we learned with ww1 that portraying your enemy as weak and incompetent only created morale issues when they were tougher than expected?
There’s 0% chance this is accurate. While Russia is an aging and rusted military power their elite forces are still equipped exceedingly well.
