Just because it's doing key-value pairs does not mean it's DNS. If I can't `dig` it, it's not DNS. This is simply doing HTTP redirects and works with no other protocols.

I've tried this twice in the last year or so: once on twitter and once on dropbox. Neither time did it work. It _seemed_ that ctrl+f would not find anything that was not visible +/- a screen height or two. I couldn't tell if

It really shows how little content is in a typical 2020 journalism article.

Virtualenv is not the same thing as venv, but you are correct that package isolation is now part of “core python” - as of 3.3.

I don’t think bash’s `printf` “wraps” coreutils; pretty sure it just implements the entire call itself.
