The document discusses building a basic search engine in Ruby by creating an inverted index from a set of documents and demonstrating basic querying of the index. It covers splitting documents into words, building a hash mapping each unique word to the documents it appears in, and performing set intersections on word indexes to return document matches for queries. It also raises questions about additional features needed for a more complete search engine implementation.

SearchLove London 2016 | Dom Woodman | How to Get Insight From Your Logs
SearchLove London 2016 | Dom Woodman | How to Get Insight From Your LogsDistilled In the SEO industry, we obsess on everything Google says, from John Mueller dropping a hint in a Webmaster Hangout, to the ranking data we spend £1000s to gather. Yet we ignore the data Google throws at us every day, the crawling data. For the longest time, site crawls, traffic data, and rankings have been the pillars of SEO data gathering. Log files should join them as something everyone is doing. We'll go through how to get everything set-up, look at some of the tools to make it easy and repeatable and go through the kinds of analysis you can do to get insights from the data.

Technical SEO - Generational cruft in SEO - there is never a new site when th...Dawn Anderson MSc DigM This document discusses how search engines like Google maintain historical records of URLs they have crawled, including metrics like crawl frequency and importance. This historical data is used to predict how often URLs should be recrawled and prioritize them in the crawling queue. Even URLs that return 404 or 410 responses may still be recrawled periodically since search engines never fully remove pages from their indexes. Managing URL history and prioritizing crawls becomes challenging at large scale due to the massive number of URLs maintained in search engine databases over time.

Longitudinal Benchmark: A Real-World UX Case Study in Onboarding by Linda Bor...UXPA Boston This is a case study of a three-part longitudinal research study with 100 prospects to understand their onboarding experiences. In part one, we performed a heuristic evaluation of the websites and the getting started experiences of our product and six competitors. In part two, prospective customers evaluated the website of our product and one other competitor (best performer from part one), chose one product they were most interested in trying, and explained why. After selecting the one they were most interested in, we asked them to create an account to understand their first impressions. In part three, we invited the same prospective customers back a week later for a follow-up session with their chosen product. They performed a series of tasks while sharing feedback throughout the process. We collected both quantitative and qualitative data to make actionable recommendations for marketing, product development, and engineering, highlighting the value of user-centered research in driving product and service improvements.

Refactoring meta-rauc-community: Cleaner Code, Better Maintenance, More Machines
Refactoring meta-rauc-community: Cleaner Code, Better Maintenance, More MachinesLeon Anavi RAUC is a widely used open-source solution for robust and secure software updates on embedded Linux devices. In 2020, the Yocto/OpenEmbedded layer meta-rauc-community was created to provide demo RAUC integrations for a variety of popular development boards. The goal was to support the embedded Linux community by offering practical, working examples of RAUC in action - helping developers get started quickly.
Since its inception, the layer has tracked and supported the Long Term Support (LTS) releases of the Yocto Project, including Dunfell (April 2020), Kirkstone (April 2022), and Scarthgap (April 2024), alongside active development in the main branch. Structured as a collection of layers tailored to different machine configurations, meta-rauc-community has delivered demo integrations for a wide variety of boards, utilizing their respective BSP layers. These include widely used platforms such as the Raspberry Pi, NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8, Rockchip, Allwinner, STM32MP, and NVIDIA Tegra.
Five years into the project, a significant refactoring effort was launched to address increasing duplication and divergence in the layer’s codebase. The new direction involves consolidating shared logic into a dedicated meta-rauc-community base layer, which will serve as the foundation for all supported machines. This centralization reduces redundancy, simplifies maintenance, and ensures a more sustainable development process.
The ongoing work, currently taking place in the main branch, targets readiness for the upcoming Yocto Project release codenamed Wrynose (expected in 2026). Beyond reducing technical debt, the refactoring will introduce unified testing procedures and streamlined porting guidelines. These enhancements are designed to improve overall consistency across supported hardware platforms and make it easier for contributors and users to extend RAUC support to new machines.
The community's input is highly valued: What best practices should be promoted? What features or improvements would you like to see in meta-rauc-community in the long term? Let’s start a discussion on how this layer can become even more helpful, maintainable, and future-ready - together.
