My cousin's dad died a couple days ago. I'm trying to figure out if I should go to the funeral. He was an uncle by marriage when we were kids, but him and my aunt divorced when we were real young. This cousin and I used to be pretty close, used to hang out all the time. We drifted apart as after school, because work and stuff, but communication really dropped off when she got with the guy she ended up marrying. Nobody in the family has had communications with her in about 10 years. Nobody in the family knows why she went no contact. People have tried to message her. Her husband and I make comments about baseball and cars on Facebook, but that's it. The last time anyone saw her or spoke to her was a Christmas gathering. Her kids were being absolute terrorists, and you could see the stress and anxiety on her face. But, nobody said anything about it, or at least none will admit to saying anything to her. The night ended and they left, she hasn't spoke to anyone in the family since. I haven't spoken to her dad in close to 30 years. Before she stopped talking to us, there would be no question, I would be there to support her. I just don't know why she went no contact with everyone. I suspect it was because of her husband, but I don’t know for sure.
Idunno, looks pretty difficult: Spoiler We used to work with Astronomer, but before they hired this guy. We abused their infra so badly I like to think they hired this guy as a result of our fuckery in order to improve their offerings. So basically, we did this.
So you know what self managed airflow is! Because it sounds like holding back a fart, releasing it when it is either more or less appropriate, depending on the situation.
Astronomer is for people who don't want to self-manage Airflow. It's basically Airflow-as-a-service. Or AaaS. So yeah, a fart.
It doesn't even really have anything to do with actual air, does it? Not even flavored, anal gas air?
For a serious explanation, it is software that lets you describe dependencies between tasks (Task B must only run after Task A is completed, Task C must only run after Task B and Task D are completed, etc), and then schedules and runs those tasks such that all the dependencies are satisfied before any individual task runs. Self-managing it can be a bit of a pain, so Astronomer handles that part of it, and all you need to do is write the code that describe your DAG (directed acyclic graph) of dependencies.
Especially since Amazon has Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow, and I'm sure Google and Microsoft have similar offerings. Given that most companies already have their data and other compute capabilities sited with one of the cloud providers, I would think they'd have eaten Astronomer's lunch by now.
Maybe they’re targeting small business without cloud resources or staff? Who knows. I don’t get it, regardless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can't see a case where a company is sophisticated enough to physically host their own data, but not sophisticated enough to self-manage an Airflow install. I guess if the volume of data was tiny, but in that case they wouldn't need Airflow at all.
There’s a woman who I’ve recently started seeing around the neighborhood who is a dead ringer for the girl in this meme. Her face is nearly identical, she’s got the same body type, and she is always fucking talking on blue tooth. Walks up the hill, talking away, walks down the hill, still continuously talking, at full volume so I can hear her coming well before I see her. I’m nearly fully convinced it is the same girl.
