Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

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

Convert OS X Keychain exported entries into logins for 1Password import
These two files should help you to import passwords from mac OS X keychains to 1password.
Assumptions:
1) You have some experience with scripting/are a power-user. These scripts worked for me
but they haven't been extensively tested and if they don't work, you're on your own!
Please read this whole document before starting this process. If any of it seems
incomprehensible/frightening/over your head please do not use these scripts. You will
probably do something Very Bad and I wouldn't want that.
2) You have ruby 1.9.2 installed on your machine. This comes as standard with Lion, previous
versions of OS X may have earlier versions of ruby, which *may* work, but then again, they

Portable Microsoft RDP 7 Client.

Portable Microsoft RDP 7 Client

  • Get the RDP 7 update for Windows XP from KB969084 (SHA-1 153587172bf060ddc9d2c966f1eaaf4f47926f28).
  • Rename the .\WindowsXP-KB969084-x86-enu.exe to zip.
  • Extract the .\WindowsXP-KB969084-x86-enu.zip\sp3gdr\ directory.

The unpacked RDP 7 client is sort of portable (the binaries are, settings are not) and will run on Windows XP and latter.

Accompaniment to dcjq

This is a more wordy, narrative accompaniment to my pretty bare presentation about d3 that I gave to the jQuery DC Meetup.

What is d3?

  • Not a chart library (though you can make charts with it)
  • Not a map library (though you can make maps with it)

Which is to say, d3 can be used for building things, but the 'atomic parts' are lower-level than bar graphs or projections or so on. This is a powerful fact. It also means that d3 is a good basis for simple interfaces, like Vega.js, that make its power accessible in other ways.

  • Not a compatibility layer (it doesn't work with bad browsers)
