+# Strictly Separate Positional And Keyword Arguments
+
+Typically when I define a function with arguments in Python, I can choose pass
+the arguments to that function as positional or keyword arguments. I can even
+mix and match as long as all positional arguments come before all keyword
+arguments.
+
+But what if I want to enforce a strict boundary between what arguments are
+positional and what arguments are keyword?
+
+By combining the _positional-only marker_ (`/`) and _keyword-only marker_ (`*`),
+I can get exactly that effect.
+
+Here I have defined a `connect` function that takes `host` and `port` arguments.
+Because both appear before the `/` marker, they must be passed as positional. I
+also have a `timeout` argument with a default. Because `timeout` comes after the
+`*` marker, it must be passed as a keyword argument.
+
+```python
+def connect(host, port, /, *, timeout=30):
+    print(f"Connecting to #{host}:#{port}")
+    print(f"  Timeout: {timeout}s")
+
+    # ...
+```
+
+Let's see it in action.
+
+```python
+>>> connect("localhost", 3000, timeout=20)
+Connecting to #localhost:#3000
+  Timeout: 20s
+
+>>> connect(host="localhost", port=4000)
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "/Users/lastword/dev/misc/python-experiments/arguments.py", line 37, in <module>
+    connect(host="localhost", port=4000)
+TypeError: connect() got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'host, port'
+```
+
+This second attempt of calling `connect` with `host` and `port` as keyword
+arguments presents as a runtime `TypeError` because they were expected as
+"positional-only arguments".
+
+In my editor that line also presents with two static typing errors `call-arg:
+Unexpected keyword argument "port" for "connect"` (and the equivalent for
+`host`).
+
+Note: I did some additional reading just now in [Python in a Nutshell, 4th
+Edition](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/python-in-a/9781098113544/) and I
+see that it is more appropriate to call them _Named Arguments_ instead of
+_Keyword Arguments_.

+# Restart Specific Overmind Process
+
+I have been in the bad habit of fully killing and re-running the entire
+[`overmind`](https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind) process for a project
+whenever I have a new JavaScript file that I need `vite` to pick up and bundle.
+`vite` is only one of three processes, so I'm restarting two processes
+unnecessarily.
+
+```bash
+❯ overmind status
+PROCESS   PID       STATUS
+web       50897     running
+vite      50898     running
+worker    50899     running
+```
+
+Instead, what I can do is specifically target the `vite` process for a
+`restart`.
+
+```bash
+❯ overmind restart vite
+```
+
+This will restart that specific process, ensuring that the new JS files get
+picked up and bundled.
+
+I can clearly see that only `vite` was restarted by looking at the `status`
+subcommand again.
+
+```bash
+❯ overmind status
+PROCESS   PID       STATUS
+web       50897     running
+vite      84163     running
+worker    50899     running
+```
+
+Notice the `web` and `worker` processes still have the same PIDs, but `vite` has
+a new much higher PID.
+
+See `overmind restart --help` for more details.
