Well yeah, Obsidian is basically a markdown editor with some nice extra features. And apparently a quite thriving plugin ecosystem.

Well yeah, in the end they are just plain text, prepended to the user input.

It makes a lot of sense for read-heavy workloads, for sure! I was just trying to get a better understanding of what is happening under the hood :)

Soo... We have a network hop after all?

Not even necessary, just update the DNS record pointing to your home address

That is correct, but the @runtime_checkable decorator (which goes on the class that defines the protocol, e.g. "Animal" in the blog's example) makes it so that any class that implements the required methods (e.g. Rabbit) also

by alfons_foobar 2y ago
True. Also this: "Because Animal is a Protocol, any class that defines feed() becomes an Animal" is slightly incorrect. By default, protocols are only relevant for static type analysis, but you _can_ enable runtime instance checki

This is a good example of a game-theoretic equilibrium :)

I might be dense, but I don't understand what that has to do with type hints... To my eyes, the problem of choosing useful defaults for complicated types/datastructures is independent of whether I add type hints for them. I think

Prometheus is not agent based though

kudos for actually looking what the problem is. As a (former) NetEng, it bothers me to no end that so many people claim "it's the network" when their application is slow / broken, without understanding the actual problem

This. I often use generator expressions for the intermediate values (so I don't allocate a new list for each step), but I find this to be much more readable.

I assume you're basically referring to this quote from the article? "Ignore fields coming from the API if you don’t need them. Keep only those that you use." IMO this addresses only one part of the problem, namely "sanit

FYI, it's called "node_exporter" ;)

Glad I am not the only one feeling "weird" about the separate branches thing :D Probably just a matter of taste, but I think having the files for different environments "side by side" makes it actually easier to compare

> only international peering The concepts of "national" and "international" don't map very well to the internet. Many companies run multiple ASes, and many companies are peering at IXPs all over the world...

What do you mean by "privilege" in this context?

by alfons_foobar 2y ago
Hm, I understood "ip endpoint" to mean something else than a router (because I am very sure that Geoff is aware of the "ICMP is not handled on the ASIC"-issue).

That is true for ICMP packets directed at the router itself. Pretty sure that is the reason why he used > ping across a Starlink connection from the customer side terminal to the first IP end point behind the Starlink earth station inste

On a technical level, this is very simple - just change the list of DNS root servers on all "participating" machines to point to your own new nameservers. But then you have the problem: Who manages your community controlled domain

We use poetry inside docker in a very similar way, but use a multistage docker file - the "builder" image has poetry installed and installs the application into a venv, we then copy that venv to the "prod" image and run

As far as I can tell, the problem lies not with the payment processing, but rather with the bureaucracy around receiving money in OP's country of residence.
