tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

# YouTube playlist audio retreiver and iTunes-compliant podcast XML generation tool.

# This script will download each video file from the specified YouTube playlist, losslessly extract
# the audio, delete the video, and ultimately produce an iTunes-compliant podcast XML with the
# appropriate metadata, including chapter markers (if provided in the description). If you run the
# script again, only videos that haven't already been converted will be downloaded, allowing you to
# schedule the script to run as often as needed without stressing your internet connection or
# hard drive space. After generating the files and xml, you can easily host them on a local server
# in order to use them with iTunes or your favorite podcast aggregator -- but that's beyond this
# script's jurisdiction.

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?
