Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Colours in terminal

It's a common confusion about terminal colours... Actually we have this:

• plain ascii
• ansi escape codes (16 colour codes with bold/italic and background)
• 256 colour palette (216 colours + 16 ansi + 24 gray) (colors are 24bit)
• 24bit true colour ("888" colours (aka 16 milion))

printf "\x1b[${bg};2;${red};${green};${blue}m\n"

Exposing your clipboard over SSH

I frequently administer remote servers over SSH, and need to copy data to my clipboard. If the text I want to copy all fits on one screen, then I simply select it with my mouse and press CMD-C, which asks relies on m y terminal emulator (xterm2) to throw it to the clipboard.

This isn't practical for larger texts, like when I want to copy the whole contents of a file.

If I had been editing large-file.txt locally, I could easily copy its contents by using the pbcopy command:

Create RSS Feed of the releases of all your starred GitHub repositories

I have done this with Google Chrome.

1. Get your starred repositories from the GitHub API: https://api.github.com/users/USERNAME/starred?page=1&per_page=100
2. Open the Web developer tools in Chrome. Select the pre Tag in the HTML-View and execute this Javascript in the console: JSON.parse($0.innerText).map(function(repo) { return 'https://github.com/' + repo.full_name + '/releases.atom' }).join('\n'). This generates a list of the Release-Feed-URLs.
3. Copy the URL list to http://reader.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php If you have more than 100 starred repositories, you need repeat step 1 to 3 and increment the page in the URL in step 1 each time.
4. Click "Create OPML".
5. Save the OPML XML file to disk.
