It’s called a “bang command”, [1] and DDG redirects that search to another site. You can set DDG as your default search engine but rely on these commands to search on other sites. Just put the bang command anywhere in your search term or

I can’t put my finger on it, but something feels odd to me about these React based or similar static site generators that don’t depend entirely on server side rendering (though that seems to be an option). Perhaps a fraction of a percentage

Looks like you've got the receiver and sender commands reversed. The sender should use input redirection (< file) to read the file and the receiver should use output redirection (> file) to save the file.

Tangentially, I wonder what's happening with Lockwise. [1] It also seems to be languishing without significant improvements. I was expecting it to be a competitor, at least on mobile, to the likes of Bitwarden, 1Password, and other sol

I have serious issues with this and the fact that site owners have to email a human support team in archive.org to be excluded.

archive.org doesn't handle robots.txt in any meaningful way (see my comment above at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24516875 ). If that's changed recently, I'd like to know more.

Do those "checks and balances" really matter in the light of what we've learned over the last seven years (and even before that)? It doesn't seem like there's much of "minimization" going on from the three

My guess, which is just a guess, is that the founders got tired of Google Search and advertising and Android and mobile hardware and privacy issues and regulatory issues so much that the “don’t be evil” motto was glaring at their faces and
