Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

Part 1: applications

Amphetamine: get it from App Store; it keeps Mac from automatically go to sleep
Spectrum: get it from App Store; I occasionally use it for web color design
Slack: get it from App Store and sign in via email
Kindle: get it from App Store and sign in through Amazon account
Xcode: I don't do iOS/macOS dev, but I think sometimes other programs need it
Postman: hackathon essential? get it here https://www.postman.com/

Converting mkv to mp4 with `ffmpeg`

Essentially just copy the existing video and audio stream as is into a new container, no funny business!

The easiest way to "convert" MKV to MP4, is to copy the existing video and audio streams and place them into a new container. This avoids any encoding task and hence no quality will be lost, it is also a fairly quick process and requires very little CPU power. The main factor is disk read/write speed.

With ffmpeg this can be achieved with -c copy. Older examples may use -vcodec copy -acodec copy which does the same thing.

These examples assume ffmpeg is in your PATH. If not just substitute with the full path to your ffmpeg binary.

	# find app in default paths
	CO_PWD=~/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/MacOS
	test -d "${CO_PWD}" \|\| CO_PWD=/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/MacOS
