#MinimalPhone arrived today. I'll be keeping notes on it here.

micro.glasshoundcomputing.com/@jeremiah/statuses/01JQYJZ4C5C34JTZVQ09ZPVYED

I do love this thing. I've got an in progress application that collates news I would like to read into an epub. Putting that file on the Minimal Phone gives me koreader as my 'fidget' app. Instead of getting lured into an infinite scroll app, I just read some news I curated for myself. Hoping this drives my overall phone usage down.

Finish your stuff

If there is one principle that should be added to the UNIX philosophy, it is:

"Finish your project."

Let me list my finished projects.

Uh...

I can't even say Mycorrhiza is finished despite it being in maintenance mode!

Documents Are the Wrong Metaphor

screensresearchhypertext.com?stackedPages=/Documents-Are-the-Wrong-Metaphor

So the author says. They say, the right metaphor is songs! This is non-sensical, documents are the right metaphor, and we should do our best to preserve it.

The author of the website claims to know a bit about hypertext, and they do, but look at this URL! How to fix it? UPD. From the computer I managed to close the extra tabs on the page which were not visible on the phone and fix the URL.

The role of cat eye narrowing movements in cat–human communication - Scientific Reports

www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-73426-0

Domestic animals are sensitive to human cues that facilitate inter-specific communication, including cues to emotional state. The eyes are important in signalling emotions, with the act of narrowing the eyes appearing to be associated with positive emotional communication in a range of species. This study examines the communicatory significance of a widely reported cat behaviour that involves eye narrowing, referred to as the slow blink sequence. Slow blink sequences typically involve a series of half-blinks followed by either a prolonged eye narrow or an eye closure. Our first experiment revealed that cat half-blinks and eye narrowing occurred more frequently in response to owners’ slow blink stimuli towards their cats (compared to no owner–cat interaction). In a second experiment, this time where an experimenter provided the slow blink stimulus, cats had a higher propensity to approach the experimenter after a slow blink interaction than when they had adopted a neutral expression. Collectively, our results suggest that slow blink sequences may function as a form of positive emotional communication between cats and humans.

The author argues that many relations can be represented with hyperlinks. He is right though. A good read.

banging errors in go

flak.tedunangst.com/post/bango

Tedu wrote a tool that lets you handle errors in Go like this:

func decomp(filename string) ([]byte, error) {
        fd := ^os.Open(filename)
        defer fd.Close()
        zd := ^gzip.NewReader(fd)
        data := ^io.ReadAll(zd)
        return data, nil
}

Funky!
