Interesting, I had not heard about this (looks like it was announced at the most recent WWDC), but the Vimium devs already have![1] Vimium and uBlock Origin are pretty much the only two plugins keeping me from switching away from Chrome&#x2

I switched to DuckDuckGo on mobile a while back because it meant that I didn’t have to see constant AMP results. Even though I think DuckDuckGo’s search results aren’t nearly as good I have no intention of going back.

Something cool I’ve done with reveal.js slides: it’s just a web page, so why not embed an iframe? Instead of putting a slide that says “Now for a live demo!” and switching over to an editor, why not just embed an interactive editor? For exa

`dev tc` is a command at Shopify that runs Sorbet. I'm assuming they instrument all subcommands of their `dev` command and send aggregate statistics to an internal statsd service. We do the same thing where I work. If you're worki
