Trying to avoid having ugly weakBlah variables all over the place to avoid retain cycles (or at least having to look at them)
__weak __typeof__(foo) weakFoo = foo;
foo.block = ^
{
[weakFoo doSomething];
};

Justification of colon-style conditionals in PHP (as much as you can justify anything about PHP)
Bad:

Hello there,
<?php if (!empty($name)) { ?>
<?php echo $name; ?>
<?php } else { ?>

DuckDuckGo Hosts File information

Hosts File

NOTE: This feature is currently in beta. The server IP below will change when the beta ends.

As discussed [here][1], Safari doesn’t allow you to customize the search engines available from the search bar.

However, there is a simple hack you can do. DuckDuckGo operates a server that can respond to Safari’s search requests directed at Yahoo, Google, or Bing, and send those to DuckDuckGo instead. To use it, you can either use an app to make the change, or edit your hosts file directly.

Method 1: Mac app
