The way to improve search is not to mimic Google, but instead to build boutique search engines that index, curate, and organize things in new ways.

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

Там творятся удивительные вещи.

Одна из основных целей проекта - кардинальное внедрение русского языка во всю систему, включая (хотя бы частичный) перевод исходных текстов на русский язык. ЯОС может работать как приложение в окне под Linux или Windows, а также в виде обособленной операционной системы на оборудовании x86 и ARM (поддерживаются платы Zybo Z7-10 и Raspberry Pi 2). Код написан на языке Active Oberon и распространяется под лицензией BSD.

Проект выступает основой для развития идей русскоязычного программирования, повышения комфорта работы с кириллицей и русским языком, опробования на практике разных подходов к вопросам терминологии и к глубине перевода. В отличие от существующих русскоязычных языков программирования, таких как 1С, Кумир и Глагол, проект нацелен на предоставление операционной системы полностью на русском языке, в которой переведён в том числе код загрузчика, ядра, компилятора и драйверов.

Активный Оберон — база, его русский вариант должен, соответственно, быть базой.

Minimizing your keyboard layout is a slippery slope.
34-keys has been reasonably comfortable to use, for both prose and program. My palms do not move across the desk at all, as I reach for keys. I mostly write Rust and Bash, and my layout has evolved to accomodate special characters from their grammars (angled brackets and hyphens, specifically). If you are on a similar journey, I would suggest focusing on accuracy and comfort over speed. Speed comes with time.

A teacher says that one should teach programming with a programming language that was designed for that. Oberon, for example.

This Mac is uncharging in a world where things change by the minute. It will never receive another software update and is thoroughly obsolete, but it's comforting to have something that you know will stay the same forever, remaining in a known state every time you return to it.

Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure.

Hare will stay around for a century by rejecting innovation and being soundly designed. Sounds good! I low-key want to write something in it.

Yeah, sure.

Jef Raskin on how the two-part cursor is better than the one we are used to and how cool Leap is.

I didn't really get the cursor part. The fact that the significant text formatting is simply stripped does not help. I should play with it in an emulator.

Leap is cool, yeah. But I didn't get how the copy-paste works.

Sometimes I imagine a cool cyberdeck in which I implement the coolest features from many sources, including the Canon Cat!

Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes.

Ken describes how he injected a virus into a compiler. Not only did his compiler know it was compiling the login function and inject a backdoor, but it also knew when it was compiling itself and injected the backdoor generator into the compiler it was creating. The source code for the compiler thereafter contains no evidence of either virus.

Good links.
