Discord Emoji

Note: This is written for those using Python 3 and discord.py, so if you're using something else please reference the relevant documentation for your language or library if you choose to use this as a general reference.

On Discord, there are two different emoji types:

• Unicode Emoji
• Custom Emoji

Each needs to be handled differently, as while unicode emoji are just simple unicode characters, Discord custom emoji are special objects available only in Discord, belonging to a specific Discord guild and having their own snowflake ID.

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.

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

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...
