Hypothesis: when you speak [1] you often subconsciously generate sentences with nice prosody. I think you may also do this when you write - but only on the first draft when you're streaming your consciousness.

The reason I say this is that when I go back and edit something I've written, I may end up with something that is factually and grammatically better, but I often find myself stuttering ("in my head") as I read it because I keep trying to put weight in the wrong place. It's like I've broken the prosody by changing words out of order.

(It could also be something weaker, like I simply remember the intonation from when I first wrote it rather than there being anything "right" or "wrong".)

[1] English has its own rules about the timing of syllables that are different to other languages. Eg. what I say here probably doesn't apply directly to Italian.

Coffee level status report: I just hit F10 instead of F5 in a browser and jump-scared myself. F5 triggers a refresh (of course) but in my window manager environment F10 immediately locks the screen to a blank display, so I had a heart-rate-spiking moment of "did my computer just crash?"

I'm sure you've seen the news lately about police cooperating with ICE by giving logins to Flock cameras to try and track people for detainment. I'm not a fan of Flock (and similar) cameras, and certainly would like more awareness of their presence,.

Turns out, with an ESP32S3 and new firmware released today called Flock You, you CAN detect them and be alerted.

I did a short write up about it, and am in the process of flashing an ESP32 with it right now: https://wrewtopia.com/read/2025-08-22

My mother would like to join mastodon and I told her I'd ask for some server recommendations!

She's into gardening, crafting, ecology, cats, and prepping (from a more leftist direction). She's COVID cautious, disabled, and not very good with tech. She's in Canada and it's important to her to be plugged into Canadian politics. Any suggestions of well-moderated places that might be a good home for her? :)

well, we did some digging into our rate-limiting situation (sorry to everyone who's had to deal with duplicated messages from us the last week or two, that's the main symptom...)

Question:

Aside from #Mastodon, what other #decentralized #SocialMedia do you use (and like) regularly?

(And I probably shouldn’t have asked this just before I’m going to put my phone down for the evening)

Finally, after some months of refining, the "Incremental System Rethought" RFC is out!

This RFC has been through 6 full drafts, 1 conference, 5 months of design and a closed project goal. Go roast it.

My hot take on Rust .unwrap(): no matter what you do, people want convenient shortcut ways of not explicitly handling errors in programming languages. And then people will use them in what turn out to be inappropriate places, because people aren't always right and sometimes make mistakes.

Every popular programming language lets your code not handle errors in some way, taking an optimistic approach. If you're lucky, your program notices at runtime when there actually is an error.

Was randomly reminded of this little drawing toy I made on a plane on the way back from Eyeo 2015. Very simple but I still like it! I think 80% of the charm comes from the dropdown menu.

Requires a mouse, last I checked.

pleasingly tactile sliders and big chunky knobs will also enhance the experience for device and user alike
