Not the perfect solution, but I use NewTabTweaker [1] in FF set to redirect new tabs to DuckDuckGo. It works pretty well in combination with SurfingKeys, although I do occasionally need to use default FF keybinds, e.g. when a page fails to

Maybe “semicolons are hard-coded monads” is a better phrasing?

SurfingKeys is my top 5 most useful pieces of software. I’ve heavily customized it to make my web browsing as efficient as possible for my workflow. Check out my configuration to get some ideas of what you can do: https://github.

TopShell looks very interesting, thank you for sharing! This is a problem domain which I've been thinking a lot about recently. I write tons of shell (bash) scripts. I hate bash and its peculiarities, but it remains one of the quicke

Over the past 2 or so weeks, I’ve been getting 500 errors from GitHub quite regularly. A page will take a while to load, then finally fail with an octocat error page. Reloading the page usually succeeds with the correct page, so it seems to

Hand dryers need to die. Their primary benefit is lower cost of operation for the facility, but other than that, their environmental impact is at best marginally better than paper towels, and worst is their hygienic aspect. Various studies

My experience with Go is that the syntax is more rigid as compared to Python but the community is much less idealistic. As long as your code is linted with gofmt and it compiles (and doesn’t abuse reflection), the community tolerates more c
