Qwant and Ecosia debut Staan, a European search index that aims to take on Big Tech

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-12-05 16:45:38

European search engines Qwant and Ecosia said on Wednesday that they have both started serving search queries through an index they developed together, Staan, which aims to be a cheaper, more privacy-focused alternative to Google and Bing. Last year, French privacy-focused search engine Qwant struck a joint venture with German non-profit search engine Ecosia, to develop a European search index. Called European Search Perspective (EUSP), the JV now aims to serve around 50% of French queries and

One UI 8 lets you use Samsung DeX on your PC again, but there’s a catch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 11:50:04

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR The latest One UI 8 release makes it possible to use Samsung DeX on PCs again, though you’ll need a third-party tool called scrcpy to do so. Samsung previously discontinued its “DeX for PC” application, leaving users without the dedicated desktop interface on their computers. One UI 8’s new DeX can run on a virtual display, which allows the open-source scrcpy tool to mirror the full desktop experience to a PC. If you have a compatible Galaxy device, y

Your Circular Ring just got a big health tracking update - for free

French smart ring brand Circular has launched its Immunity Index feature that could notify you ahead of your next cold. The feature, available on the smart ring's app, uses health data the ring already aggregates, such as heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep-breathing regularity, and temperature stability, to predict strain on the body ahead of illness.

Samsung DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden ‘Immersive’ mode for true full screen

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-20 15:33:17

TL;DR Samsung’s new DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden “Immersive” mode that enables a true full screen experience, hiding the app header and taskbar. To enable it, you must first maximize an app, then long-press the same maximize button to reveal a hidden menu with the “Immersive” option. This unintuitive method initially led users to believe the full screen feature was removed. Samsung made some big changes to DeX in its latest One UI 8 release. The company killed its classic DeX mode in favor of

5 Samsung DeX features I’ll miss if they don’t return in One UI 8

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-24 20:00:42

I’ll admit it: I’ve never been the biggest Samsung DeX user. Not because I don’t like it — I think it’s the gold standard for casting your phone to an external display — but because I spend far too much time with non-Samsung phones in my pocket. The funny thing is that every time I leave the Galaxy ecosystem behind, that’s precisely when I need DeX most. And now that it’s about to undergo significant changes as part of One UI 8, I’m a little worried. I don’t want to lose certain DeX features, e

Inverted Indexes: A Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-20 16:53:20

Before we start with the implementation, let's talk about why would you actually need an inverted index in a real life. Why would anyone need inverted index at all Imagine you need to create a system that would quickly look up a document, given several words from it - something like a wiki search. Simplest option I can think of would be to scan through each document, marking ones that have all the necessary words. That might work at first, but such solution wouldn't scale,

Samsung DeX is taking a step back with One UI 8, and I don’t like it (yet)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-24 09:30:42

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Samsung DeX has been around for eight years, and for many, it’s become a core part of the Samsung experience. DeX gives us the ability to turn our Samsung phones and tablets into ultra-portable laptop replacements, provided all you need is Android apps and a browser. While DeX has gained plenty of features since its introduction, it’s still fundamentally the same as it was in 2017. That’s changing with One UI 8, though, as Samsung has rebuilt DeX upon Android

Samsung killed its classic DeX mode in One UI 8, but there’s a good reason

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung killed its “classic” DeX in One UI 8, replacing it with a new version built on top of Google’s native Desktop Mode in Android. This move aligns DeX with Google’s broader effort to improve Android’s desktop capabilities, which should benefit DeX in the long run. However, the new DeX is currently a downgrade for users, as it lacks many quality-of-life features that were present in the classic version. Samsung DeX is one of the best features of O

How to Get Foreign Keys Horribly Wrong

news.ycombinator.com Haki Benita 2026-01-04 06:36:08

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. Foreign keys are a special type of constraint because, unlike unique, check, and primary keys, they span more than one relation. This makes foreign keys harder to enforce and harder to get right. In this article, I demonstrate common pitfalls, potential optimizations, and implicit behavior related to foreign keys.

Samsung DeX turns the Galaxy Z Flip 7 into a pocket-sized PC, but it’s missing one key feature

How often is the query plan optimal?

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often.
