ubermajestix / slack_gif_shrinker.sh
Created April 23, 2016 22:28
Imagemagick Commands to shrink gif dimensions and file size to fit Slack's emoji policy (128x128 and 64k max)
# Recommended in docs to build a new gif from the source
for f in *.gif; do convert "$f" -coalesce ${f%gif}coal.gif; done
# Resize to 128x128. All images were the same size
for f in *.coal.gif; do convert -size 512x512 "$f" -resize 128x128 ${f%gif}small.gif; done
# This worked pretty well to get most of these gifs under 64k to upload to Slack
for f in *.small.gif; do convert "$f" -colors 32 -dither none -deconstruct -layers optimize ${f%small.gif}opt.gif; done

Use Virtus to handle parsing data coming back from an API into easy to work with objects.
# Sick of using Hashes or Hashie::Mash objects when working with API responses?
# Yeah, me too.
# Let's use Virtus to make some nice objects that work like we'd expect.
# For more checkout: https://github.com/solnic/virtus
# Given we get some JSON back from an API like this
{things: [
{name: 'Thing 1', created_at: '2014-09-11 15:57:33 -0700'},
{name: 'Thing 2', created_at: '2014-09-11 15:57:33 -0700'}

ubermajestix / vpnconnect
Created December 9, 2013 20:56
This script allows you to open your vpn connection by launching an application. I use it to connect to a vpn from Alfred (you could use Quicksilver or LaunchBar too). In Automator, search for the "Run AppleScript" action. Double click it and copy and paste the code below. Change your vpn's name on line 3. Then export to your Applications folder …
tell application "System Events"
tell current location of network preferences
set VPNservice to service "yourVPN"
if exists VPNservice then set isConnected to connected of current configuration of VPNservice
if isConnected is false then
connect VPNservice
else
disconnect VPNservice
end if
end tell

Twitter Interview Question

This code visualizes the solution to this Twitter interview question.

My first solution only looked at immediate neighbors to figure out if you're in a trough that will collection water. The clever part is considering all values to the left and right of you, not immediate neighbors. My naive solution to [5,1,5] was pretty close, but as I expanded to more complex problems, considering your neighbors wasn't enough and my solution began to bloat. Looking at this answer gave me the insight to strip down my solution.

Once I had it solved I went back and built the simple solution display.

To run the tests simply run $> ruby -Itest rain_test.rb

ubermajestix / inspector.rb
Created September 5, 2012 20:35
Override inspect on ruby objects
# When an RSpec test like this fails,
#
# @my_array.should == [@some_model, @some_model2]
#
# RSpec will call inspect on each of the objects to "help" you figure out
# what went wrong. Well, inspect will usually dump a TON OF SHIT and make trying
# to figure out why `@my_array` is not made up of `@some_model` and `@some_model2`.
#
# This little module and technique helps get around that. It will redefine `inspect`
# if you include it in your model object.
