You don’t want to specialize without great care. I started as a UNIX admin in 1985. I learned a lot about networking at that first job, and later on, took a job as Wide Area Network engineer at large org. That job was challenging, but not as rewarding, because you could only brag about your feats at work with other WAN guys. Nobody else knew what you were talking about. Everyone else soon tired of the gobbledygook. I went back to being a Linux Sr Admin after 10 years after burning out, and eventually found a good gig where we are appreciated for the value we provide the organization.

It's a cool feature, even if you're just reading along.

Our Amazon Echo Show started doing this recently when listening to songs on Amazon's own Music service. I noticed it, thought it was interesting, commented once to the wife, then went back to just listening.

Just from the list of distros and versions, it looks like this is nothing new. Someone really needs to update that landing page.

Is there a font missing or something? When I try to read the paper, every instruction dependency is displayed as x ? y, with a question mark between each object, even when the author implies there is some difference between x ? y and x ? y. I'm sure there is supposed to be some other characters there, because without them the paper makes no sense.

Perhaps it's something that only shows up properly on Windows computers?

I think solving the "last mile" problem in the US is our greatest problem, especially in rural areas. Too many state and local governments have been paid off by lobbyists to pass laws to block any competition from offering cheaper and better options.

Too many people are stuck with slow, expensive, and unreliable cable and/or DSL ISPs. Some have no choice whatsoever. Some others get to choose only from two equally awful options. We need legally available competition EVERYWHERE.
