Why not just feed it the actual instructions that create the site - the page source code, the HTML, CSS, JS if any?

This may be an even greater challenge: analysing a table layout and recreating it in CSS with absolute positioning.

It certainly affected Wile E Coyote.

They should have given him a LOT of money.

Would you settle for a LOT of free AI generated legal advice? ;)

Can you spell "Insider Trading"?

I used to use it, but left as it became apparent that Atlassian was increasingly incompetent in both software and business aspects to the point of both being badly broken.

What version was it?

This is nothing but a disgusting vestige of old school European colonialism. Greenland should declare independence and kick Denmark out.


Just to clarify, this is about Greenlanders living in Denmark, not about Greenlanders in Greenland.


Free, paid by whom?


Tariffs.


Serious question: How does "Durable Execution" differ from "Atomic Transaction"? At most, it seems that DE refers to more concrete details around implementing Atomic Transactions.


It depends on what exactly you mean by "Atomic Transaction". If you are referring to database transactions, then DE is not that. But DE helps you implement potentially long-running multi-step business transactions, a.k.a. workflows, sometimes spanning over days or weeks. Oftentimes, these transactions are atomic, but don't satisfy the isolation requirement of ACID transactions, i.e. partial outcomes of in-flight flows may be visible to external observers.


Maybe its about tools for inspecting the trace of a running atomic transaction?

Not really sure because "Lately, there has been a lot of excitement around Durable Execution (DE) engines" is also news to me, and AFAICT it seems to be yet-another-reinvention CS is famous for.


The idea of privacy and wealth tracking is problematic. Other than a subset of crypto (and only a subset), all of the things being tracked are in some company's database(s), particularly any equity positions or cash accounts. There's nothing particularly private about that, really.
