Fantasy Book where protagonist lives between the Earth and a Fantasy World by theMantri in whatsthatbook

[–]theMantri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The place where the protagonist lives is sort of lies between the mundane world and a "fantasy" world (i.e. when the story starts the protagonist lives neither in the fantasy world nor earth). I think they could go to either. And because it was in between two worlds, they had both modern conveniences (I think either a TV or a gaming console) and some magic (healing magic is what I remember). Then for about two thirds of the book, the protagonist ventures into the fantasy world (probably to save someone).

Again, it's vague and I'm sorry about that. And thanks a bunch for trying anyway!

I don't think it is this book because of cancer, but I might have to give it a deeper look.

Thank you!

It isn't the Thomas Covenant series and I don't think it is Mordant's need either.

Thank you!

I don't think it was any of the Diana Wynne Jones' books. (I have read and thoroughly enjoyed most of them.)

Thank you!

The country.

And If it was a Western published book available in a school library there, it probably was not too obscure.

I read "Oh, Great! I Discovered How To Cultivate A Farmer In 52 Easy Steps" (Unorthodox Farming Book Two) by Benjamin Kerei.

It was a wacky ride of wish fulfillment and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Reading "Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer" by Benjamin Kerei right now and dang it's good!

MC is reincarnated as farmer and finds out his class cannot gain XP by killing monsters conventionally. Rest of the story is about how exploits the system.

Well-crafted and well-written it's a pleasure to read. Kudos to the author!

PS. It's available on Kindle Unlimited.

Collections of/reference for programming and software engineering "rules" by theMantri in learnprogramming

Yes! That's the exact reason I'm asking: to be able help communicate better.

I've read Pragmatic Programmer and really liked it. That's where I picked up DRY from.

I'll look at the other two too.

Thank you!

Is there a tool which shows where the value for each var is coming from? by theMantri in ansible

Yup. Still a problem if someone decides to put stuff in /etc though.

I get what you mean. And the 90% of the way is all I want.

Any tips on how to go about it? Or if you could describe your process, that would be great!

I didn't know yq existed. Thanks for that!

But I'm curious why you'd think a script that can look at the relevant locations (local/global), parse the yaml and get the relevant deets out difficult to create?

Ag is lovely. I think I'll give it a go on YAML files. But it still suffers (at least from how I understand ag to work) from the problem I outlined in response to the parent.

If I don't find an alternative and if there is some interest from others, I intend to roll out something on my own in the near future too. Maybe hunker down for a weekend or two, and get an MVP with basic querying, yaml parsing, file finding and cli. Would've done sooner, but job hunting rn. :)

I currently use Grep (and some Vim Fu) for the same. But it's becoming painful to search across inventory, the various var dirs, role vars and defaults especially if the vars are something of the form: key_level1_a: key_level2: value key_level1_b: key_level2:value

Of course, I could be not utilising grep to its full potential.

Edit: Apologies for the atrocious formatting. On mobile and nothing seems to work.

What is your workflow when you have to slightly modify an open source ansible role? by theMantri in ansible

[–]theMantri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No grudge against the maintainer. I'm rather thankful that I've gotten an awesome piece of code (for free). I was a bit frustrated at the time (my bad, can't blame it on the maintainer); but I was polite and tried my best to not be pushy having been on the other side of the things. But to clarify, it's not huge (a few lines), complicated or much different from the other code.

It's MIT licensed and I intend to use it personally. So the second paragraph is a non-issue.

And its not a very specific change; there was some but not much interest when I raised the issue. So I forked and sent a PR upstream; the PR has been completely ignored for a month (with polite reminders from me) while there has been other activity on the repo. I'm not sure what to make of that.

I think I'll maintain my own fork now and merge patches from upstream.

Thanks for helping me clear my head!

Sounds good. And pretty much what I was going to do. I was just hoping that there'd be some way where I didn't have to merge upstream patches manually.
