mleonard··on Ask HN: Best tutorial on how email works?

mleonard··on In Praise of PostgreSQL
Amazing thanks so much!
mleonard··on In Praise of PostgreSQL
Very interesting. Is any of this open source? I'd love to take a look!

I'm guessing it's not open source - as I couldn't find it on your Github account or your company's account. If that's the case, would you be able to create a quick gist with a copy/paste of any of the code you can share? If you have the time I'd appreciate it!

Related links for anyone interested: - dataform uses bazel for ci tests. They builds redis from source, but run postgres as a container. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bazel/comments/kcmbwb/how_to_run_se...

Interesting. Tell us more about the technical side of things. How does it work on your end??
mleonard··on Kubernetes, ingress-Nginx, cert-manager and external-DNS
You should post a link to your article in the community blog post section of the external-dns GitHub readme https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns
mleonard··on Launch HN: Tella (YC S20) – Collaborative video editing in the browser
Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if you were using the headfull chrome approach! I for one would definitely love to read some more specifics on this in the future when you have time! (And if there's anything you can open source please do!). I did a quick side project proof of concept of automating recording a webpage with video and other elements a few months ago. It's a shame there's not a way of just using headless chrome but my research let me to the headfull docker approach, so I'm happy to hear I landed on the same approach you did! Did you discover any novel tricks beyond what's been written about/open sourced already? What was the trickiest part for you?
mleonard··on Launch HN: Tella (YC S20) – Collaborative video editing in the browser
Just curious about how you technically do the export to MP4. Can you share any details? Do you play it back in real time and record it, or do you have a way of exporting it quicker than real time?? What technical approach do you use if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
mleonard··on Storybook 6.0 your new favourite tool for front-end development
Hi Justin. I'd be very interested in seeing that custom element! If you're able to work to get that open sourced that would be amazing. (Interested as a user of both litelement and bazel)
mleonard··on Launch HN: Nestybox (YC S20) – Containers beyond microservices
How does Sysbox compare to Podman?

(If I remember correctly you can run systemd in a podman container and/or run a podman container with systemd.

mleonard··on Show HN: Chrome v83 enables JavaScript module support for SharedWorkers
Great news. Just waiting for es module support in service workers now!
mleonard··on Show HN: Obsidian – A knowledge base that works on local Markdown files
Very interesting I'm going to try it out.

What's the app written in? It has a VSCode feel to it (which is great!)... Any chance it's built in typescript like VSCode too? I'd love to write a JavaScript extension or two to customise it in the future if that's the case. Can you share what it's built with and what the future extensions will need to be built with? Thanks!

mleonard··on Show HN: Metagration: PostgreSQL Migrator in PostgreSQL
Very interesting. Can you recommend any other similar projects or any related articles you're aware of so I can learn more about this approach - I'm interesting in exploring it more!

Can you talk about SSR here just a little to give us an idea of how recoil makes it easy?

Does Kite's VSCode extension work with Github Codespaces?

You can now install vscode-server on a remote machine and connect to it over ssh from your local vscode or even from vscode in the browser (using Visual Studio CodeSpaces or the upcoming Github Codespaces)

Will Kite work with this??

mleonard··on Considering Rust [video]
Interesting! Any chance you can share a few tips to get started doing the same? (eg any crates to use or other tips). I'm currently looking for a rust learning project and building what you described really hits the mark!
mleonard··on Show HN: linkhere – show sites saved from mobile in new tabs
A quick flyby suggestion in case you haven't come across it: for Android I think you could make use of the web share target API instead of using tasker.
mleonard··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
Currently I have a small cluster with 3 nodes running, each in a different zone (data centres next to each other, eg in London). Sadly this will now be charged.
mleonard··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
For folks just trying it out, 1 cluster is still free... in a single physical data centre. Sadly you'll be charged for running a cluster across two or three data centres in the same availability zone (eg London).
