There are other tax exemptions in Croatia that might still make it worth it - especially in FIRE setting. While say The Netherlands taxes your investments such as Stocks/ETFs (not their earnings/capital-gain/etc but literally

Not sure it's just those EU funds. As Serbian/Dutch with wife from Croatia - I can definitely say that prices didn't rise only in Croatia. Basically same % rise in (non-EU) Serbia, and The Netherlands. Possibly elsewhere too

To me it seems like your underlying assumptions is "1 worker can only work on one message/item at a time", right? While you could also use Kafka like that - and it might even work for your use case, as long as you configure o

by techcode 2y ago
With Kafka you normally don't pick a worker - Kafka does that. IIRC with some sort of consistent hashing - but for simplicity sake lets say it's just modulo 'messageID % numberOfShards'. You control/configure number

The other thing that's PITA with Kafka is fail/retry. If you want to continue processing other/newer items/messages (and usually you do), you need to commit Kafka topic offset - leaving you to figure out what to do with

What that post describes (all work going to one/few workers) in practice doesn't really happen if you properly randomize (e.g. just use random UUID) ID of the item/task when inserting it into Kafka. With that (and sharding ba

And while kids often end up with just headache and slight fever that goes away after a day - adults end with at least proper flu (e.g. higher fever, joints/muscle pain ...) for a week or two.

So Romania does not have politicians living in homes, or driving around in cars owned/financed by their political supporters? And what about assets owned - not by particular individual, but by their friends or family. BTW - sorry if th

Are you sure frustration is from you needing more time (ramp up to understand, go deeper ...etc.) or something else? Perhaps you really dislike (micro)management and need more autonomy/ownership/control (or just input/partici

AFAIK very few "Serbo-Croatian" words got adopted by Turkish/Ottoman - I only know of "kraljica". On the other hand - during ~500 years (within last ~625 years) that Ottomans occupied most of Balkans - many words st

Simply being connected to mobile (or wifi) network is enough to get your location - sometimes with pretty good precision. So if you're worried about NSA or the like - you better not have a mobile phone/device (or a car - because n

A while ago I read somewhere that it was because for a long time (American) trucks were technically nit cars. And manufacturers could save money on a bunch of safety things. Which resulted in more money for marketing.

Which "zero trust" are you thinking off? In case of "zero trust network" the answer is no it doesn't violate. With WireGuard or TailScale/CloudFlare/etc you still know/verify identity of every person&

If anyone actually does this - please have a backup for the time when either Fail2Ban or/and PortKnocking (so both) fail or lock you out.

Modern take would be to simply not open anything to the outside world - except WireGuard (TailScale or such). From there everything is either considered "localhost" or a local network. You can setup one or two central boxes (actua

Can you give some examples for "repeatedly tried to kill SQL"? For me it's only KeyValue/NoSQL (which trades/focuses on some ACID traits over others) and various incarnations of ORMs (which try to normalize differen
