The word "confabular" comes from the Latin "confābulārī", which means "to talk together". It's derived from the prefix "con-", meaning "together", and "fābulārī", which means "to talk" or "to speak". "Fābulārī" is related to "fābula", which in Latin means "story" or "tale". Over time, the word evolved in the Romance languages, leading to the Spanish "confabular", which retains the idea of conversing or fabricating stories.
Took at quick look at apache nifi. Here is my conclusion but anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong:
I think they only overlap for a small part but quite different:
* Nifi is focusing on moving/sharing datafile (meaning the size could be big) across the system
* Nifi does have some logic control flow to act like workflow, but it's not too closed to be a "workflow system" because it missing a lot of capabilities that a typical workflows should have (see "What they all have in common
" in https://medium.com/@qlong/iwf-vs-other-general-purposed-work...)
* iWF is a general purposed workflow engine, could conceptually do data sharing but it is not good at sharing the big amount of data or data files
* iWF is more specialized at controlling/orchestrating the business
There is a tab-or-space discussion around whether skipping breakfast is okay or not. Personally I feel way better when I plan to skip it for a few weeks, I feel the spark of feeling activated and feel less hungry during the day. I won't skip it on weekends I feel like I deserve that glorious breakfast though.
I preferred to skip breakfast, but filter coffee on an empty stomach would leave me with two days of brutal heartburn. Switching long-term to espresso made my tummy much happier and let me skip (or delay) breakfasts once again. YMMV.
