Router Edge Guide: 6 Tips for Perfect Edges| Family Handyman

QRCode

Modern router bits with carbide cutters and guide bearings make forming wood edges almost foolproof. Try this router edge guide for tips.

  • Router bits spin clockwise as you look down on the router, so moving the router counterclockwise tends to pull the pilot bearing tight against the wood and allows easy control of the router. When you’re routing the outside perimeter of a board, move the router counterclockwise. However, when you’re routing the inside of something like a picture frame, move the router in a clockwise direction.

  • Secure Small Work With Hot-Melt Glue

  • Make Moldings With Your Edge Router

Hold Chopsticks like a Pen - Marcosticks

QRCode

Countless chopstick wrappers advice learners to "hold chopsticks like a pen". Here we explore the correlation between pen grips and chopstick grips.

The book showed two closely-related variants of the tripod grip. For reasons that will be explained later, we will call the above left posture the Caswellian Grip, and the above right posture the Spencerian Grip.

  • We will call it the Lateral Grip here. *

Losing the imitation game

QRCode

AI cannot develop software for you, but that's not going to stop people from trying to make it happen anyway. And that is going to turn all of the easy software development problems into hard problems.

  • A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision.

Programming as Theory Building

Non-trivial software changes over time. The requirements evolve, flaws need to be corrected, the world itself changes and violates assumptions we made in the past, or it just takes longer than one working session to finish. And all the while, that software is running in the real world. All of the design choices taken and not taken throughout development; all of the tradeoffs; all of the assumptions; all of the expected and unexpected situations the software encounters form a hugely complex system that includes both the software itself and the people building it. And that system is continuously changing.

To circle back to AI like ChatGPT, recall what it actually does and doesn't do. It doesn't know things. It doesn't learn, or understand, or reason about things. What it does is probabilistically generate text in response to a prompt.

How to take control of Flexbox

QRCode
  • Flex children are just that: display: block or display: inline don't have any affect once display: flex is defined on the parent.

  • Flexbox is controlled inside --> out: The size of the children affect the size of the parent. Grid is outside --> in: the size of the parent is specified and the children fit inside.

  • Defaults: flexbox by default uses the 'best' size for the children. It doesn't expand them, but it will shrink them if necessary.
    flex-shrink: 1;
    flex-grow: 0;

  • If you have multiple rows and columns, and you want them consistent, grid is the better choice

  • width is the same as flex-basis IF you are using columns

CSS for printing to paper

QRCode

At work, one of the things I do pretty often is write print generators in HTML to recreate and replace forms that the company has traditionally done handwritten on paper or in Excel. This allows the company to move into new web-based tools where the form is autofilled by URL parameters from our database, while getting the same physical output everyone's familiar with.

This article explains some of the CSS basics that control how your webpages look when printed, and a couple of tips and tricks I've learned that might help you out.

Carl Angel 5 Pencil Sharpener - helical blade

QRCode

Made in Japan with point adjustment:
https://carl-officeproducts.com/products/a-5-royal-pencil-sharpener/

Remove the helical blade from rotor, if you can, by unscrewing the rod that holds it in place. Wear a thick leather glove on one hand. Place 300-400 grit sandpaper strip on hard flat horizontal surface in front of you. Hold one helical blade(cylinder) with long screw through it from the ends between your thumb and middle finger so that blade rotates freely. Lay the helical blade against the sandpaper while holding it. Place two or three fingers of your gloved hand on top of blade to push down against the helical blade. Now pull on helical blade so that it rotates while being pressed down against sandpaper. The blade will bite into the glove and cause it to rotate. Repeat until the blade has rotated a few times. Replace helical blade. I'm sure there are other ways, but that's how I do it.

There is a youtube video of an older man putting the helical blade against a sanding belt. Takes too much metal off.

CSS Button Styles You Might Not Know | David Bushell

QRCode

Visual Focus

Accessibility is for everyone. I like using keyboard navigation to tab through interactive elements. Sadly I’ve lost count of how many clients have asked me to “remove that ugly border” around focused buttons.

Button focus state can be improved with two tricks:

.button {
  &:focus-visible {
    outline: 2px solid magenta;
    outline-offset: 2px;
  }
}

First, I replace the default focus pseudo-class with focus-visible. MDN has a long section on focus vs focus-visible. Basically it’s what the original should have been in hindsight.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:focus-visible#focus_vs_focus-visible

Second, I use outline-offset to give some breathing room between the focus ring and the button itself. If the button has a prominent border style the outline would sit flush against it looking like a double border. Adding an offset makes the focus state more visible.

One thing to note is that ::file-selector-button does not get focus, rather the parent input does, so apply styles there.

Time for a Change: Introducing irreversible time in economics - Dr Ole Peters

QRCode

An exploration of the remarkable consequences of using Boltzmann's 1870s probability theory and cutting-edge 20th Century mathematics in economic settings. An understanding of risk, market stability and economic inequality emerges.

The lecture presents two problems from economics: the leverage problem "by how much should an investment be leveraged", and the St Petersburg paradox. Neither can be solved with the concepts of randomness prevalent in economics today. However, owing to 20th-century developments in mathematics these problems have complete formal solutions that agree with our intuition. The theme of risk will feature prominently, presented as a consequence of irreversible time.

A lecture by Dr Ole Peters

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

If you want to be creative, you can’t be certain | Ida Persson

QRCode

You have to be willing to step into the unknown if you want to be creative.

The will to do things that haven’t been done before.

When we’re creating things that have not been done before, uncertainty is inevitable.

The willingness to stay in the question long enough for the dots to connect.

My inability to make decisions is frustrating, but it also allows me to stay in the question longer. I’m not rushing to find a quick fix but rather twisting and turning problems. I often find the need to go back and research some more. To make sure that the path I’ve decided to take is the right one. It wasn’t until I got more comfortable in my role as a designer (I wish I could say that my imposter syndrome went away, but it still surfaces in every project) that I discovered the benefit of this. When it comes to solving problems with creative solutions, we must first spend time figuring out the right problem to solve. Then make sure that the solution we propose is helping more than hurting.
