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

Open all files with git merge conflicts in MacVim

git diff --name-only | uniq | xargs mvim

When git encounters a merge conflict, e.g. during a rebase, it drops you back into the shell with a dirty working directory. I like this one-liner for opening all files with a merge conflict in MacVim.

Once you're in Vim, you can then switch between the files with :n and :prev, or another favourite: :w | n (save current file and open the next command line-supplied file).

UPDATE: see below for a version that works with real terminal commands.

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

• -crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
• -b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.

Get/set ID3 meta tags using ffmpeg

A quick guide on how to read/write/modify ID3 metadata tags for audio / media files using ffmpeg.

FFmpeg has a free-form command line option that allows the user to specify key-value-pairs for encoding metadata. Let's take a look.

1. Read ID3 metadata

To list all global metadata tags for a media file, just set an input but no output file.

Concise Unicode character names in JavaScript

J. S. Choi, 2022

⚠️ Warning: This article is not finished. The code will not yet run without errors.

All programmers must manipulate text; JavaScript programmers are no exception. Text manipulation often refers to specific characters, usually by their code points in hexadecimal – or by embedding the characters directly in source code.
