Common Lisp has a LOT of stuff in it. Some of it is charming. Some of it is plain weird

An older version of this article called it character rather than virtue. I think it was a better phrasing.

The idea is you set up a Stapler Document per project containing related apps, files, folders, etc. Then you can open them all at once by launching the single document. Each document contains a list of aliases that can be managed, inspected, launched using the app. The key time-saver is that if you launch a Stapler Document directly, all the items in its list will automatically be launched. Cool!

I actually wanted that! And this one is a remake of a classic app. Cool.

Search engines put their money on computation, or to use today’s parlance, algorithms (or if you’re really shameless, AI). Directories put their money on humans. Good ol’ information architecture.

It turned out that computation scaled faster than humans. Search won out over directories.

P2P technology is doomed on mobile [because of small batteries]. For a democratic web, we need to work on federation.

The author thought so in 2016. 8 years later I'm developing for the federated web, cool. I like how they mention Diaspora, which is history now.

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.

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.
