Paul Buchheit, Gmail’s Architect: The Full Transcript

QRCode

paul buchheit on the advent of gmail, insurgents vs. gatekeepers, the future of san francisco, ai,

An insurgent is never going to be successful working for gatekeepers, because from the gatekeeper perspective, the person just lacks maturity. They're doing these things that are obviously risky. That's the nature of throwing bombs: you don't exactly know what's going to happen.

Famously, we had one line of JavaScript in the entire product, which was when you go to the homepage, there was one snippet of JavaScript that would put the focus in the search box. That was the only JavaScript at Google. So Google had this kind of anti-JavaScript thing, that was also partially technical snobbery. One of the senior technical people said, “You can never scale anything in JavaScript, it’s basically just shit, the project will just turn to garbage.” And actually Eric Schmidt even said, “Oh yeah, my friend at some other big company tried this, it doesn't work.” There was a lot of ‘This has been done before, you just don't know why it can't work.’

Gatekeepers are one hundred percent anchored to stopping bad things from happening, and they have no concept that when you stop bad things from happening, you are inherently stopping good things from happening as well. You can't ever deliver something that's 100 percent good. If you deliver 80 percent good, that's pretty good. But if you try to go for 100% — if you try to be perfect — what you get is nothing. Innovation is inherently not clean.

Question about grovemade desk mats

QRCode

It's just wool felt, cutting it would be fine. You just lose out on the rounded corners.

You can make one yourself. https://www.joann.com/35pct-wool-felt-36in-w/8020349.html (Smoke)

Wrap that around this: https://www.michaels.com/3mm-thick-flipside-cork-roll/D083440S.html

With some spray adhesive and you have a nice wool mat for a fraction of the cost.

Or if you absolutely NEED the high grade Merino wool: https://www.thefeltpod.com/3mm_wool_felt_fabric_s/1856.htm It even comes in a wide variety of colors.

The Modern Guide For Making CSS Shapes — Smashing Magazine

I get asked this question often, and my answer is always the same: Use SVG if you can! I have nothing against SVG. It’s just another approach for creating shapes using another syntax with another set of considerations. If SVG was my expertise, then I would be writing about that instead!

Hat Stretchers | The Fedora Lounge

QRCode

I'm guessing I'm not totally alone when I say my head shape doesn't easily fit into the standard oval hat block shape used for most hats.

I have a few of those relatively inexpensive hat stretchers (Hat-jacks) that they sell at just about every good hat store. The first time I used one I was really happy to have found a tool that could help me relieve the front-to-back pressure I get with nearly all hats.

I initially shaped my hat-jacks in a way that I thought was more closely aligned with the actual shape of my head. After using them on multiple hats for more than a year, I was seeing some shortcomings with the design.

Collaborators needed for bring full OpenAI support to Perl

QRCode

Thus, that module was deprecated in favor of Nelson's OpenAPI::Client::OpenAI module. Throw the 13K+ lines OpenAPI spec for OpenAI at it and it just works. Further, the module is pretty much a single Perl class rather than a bunch of hand-crafted code.

CPAN authors know it can be hard to keep modules up-to-date (mea culpa, mea culpa!) and this module is no exception. I need this module so I offered to collaborate and created a PR to update it to version 2.0.0 of the OpenAI spec. It now passes all the tests (for those wondering, you need an OpenAI key and it costs $0.04 USD to run the test suite).

In trying to build a Whisper pipeline for that, I found that I couldn't. There was a PR for Whisper support for the older module, but for the newer one, I can't figure out how to get it to issue a request with multipart/form-data support. I've noted the issue in the PR.

  • He likes whiteside router bits better than bosch

  • 1/8" and 3/8" roundover bits - If roundover is deep, you put a profile on the edge

  • The bigger the bit, the slower the speed of the router

  • Make a L with your right hand palm down and thumb down. The pointer finger points in the direction to move the router -> clockwise inside, counterclockwise outer.

  • Depth of cut should be no deeper than width of bit (1/4" straight bits)

  • Dovetail tracks on the workbench??

  • Flat side of base against fence

  • Tiny router table

WIP is waste

QRCode

A manifesto on work, waste, cost and value.

Work in progress has zero value. Ship!

  • Before a task is shipped it provides zero value.
  • Any work in progress is pure cost.
  • Two tasks in progress adds cost, for no value.
  • Only after shipping do you create value. Always ship.
  • One task shipped is infinitely better than 4 tasks “almost done”.
  • Ship something of value first. Then begin something new.

Makefile Tutorial By Example

QRCode

I built this guide because I could never quite wrap my head around Makefiles. They seemed awash with hidden rules and esoteric symbols, and asking simple questions didn’t yield simple answers. To solve this, I sat down for several weekends and read everything I could about Makefiles. I've condensed the most critical knowledge into this guide. Each topic has a brief description and a self contained example that you can run yourself.
If you mostly understand Make, consider checking out the Makefile Cookbook, which has a template for medium sized projects with ample comments about what each part of the Makefile is doing.

If you're doing this with hand tools don't underestimate the importance of sharp chisels. From your description I don't think they're nearly sharp enough.
