seems like the issue isn't with using git as a database, but using github as a distribution mechanism?

the browser, being the originator of these DNS queries, already knows what website you are visiting.

I map mine to C^] which I find to be a good balance between easy to type and not conflicting with other tools

> Jail for executives who approve or have knowledge of illegal activities sounds good to me.

I suspect one possible outcome is many people wouldn't want to take the risk to become an executive, and the percentage of executives who wouldn't mind taking risks of going to jail will increase, which is not a desirable outcome.

Hi chipx86! I remember "Gaim's An Instant Messenger" used to be on the old website but either google or my memory is failing me.

from the article, google isn't lowering anyone's existing pay, but is lowering future new stock grants

poked around a bit of that from a previous job, here's what I remember:

1. there's a control process and worker processes

2. on upgrade, control process launches new worker processes from the new binary

3. requests are drained from old worker processes

4. most of the time nginx request handlers allocate from a per-request allocation pool, so requests mostly don't share memory

5. for the cases where there are global states, there's a separate shared memory pool that you need to allocate from (which is kind of hard to work if you are not using built-in nginx primitives)

This came from an acquisition of scroll, which used to allow browsing partner websites without ads. Twitter Blue seems to require that we visit those sites from a tweet, which is a degraded functionality
