I clicked finish (without having finished every question) with 2-3 minutes left, and they popped up a dialog suggesting I use the extra time to review my answers (not to keep trying on the question I gave up on).

Wow, the link[1] to the custom games ("Quests") made using the engine shows a lot of things that look fun to play. 1: https://www.purezc.net/index.php?page=quests&sort=rating

At some point in the later 20's it's about ORing, ANDing and XORing the shapes, depending on the question. In the 30's it's about something I wasn't able to grasp.

Yeah, those ones. Most of the questions seemed to separate into groups where a conceptual idea was explored, and it feels like I just didn't see/understand the concept those were attempting, so I'm interested in what I was m

Yeah, I got the AND and XOR ones. It was immediately after those, I think the first one might have been filled small circles and boxes on the left and right of a center vertical line. They were all at the bottom, making me think it might

I tried it, and now I'm wondering what some of those patterns in the low-mid-30's were (I don't recall the specific numbers, but probably around 32 or 33), because I was completely lost when I got to those. I'm more int

This is a common misconception. No normal person ever becomes a sysadmin. In the cases where you think that has happened, they invariably fly their freak flag high soon after. ;)

Sure, but it also sounds like your usage isn't really sysadmin level, which is what I prefaced everything I said with to put it into that context. I don't expect random users to run with selinux on and deal with problems for all t

I agree, which is why I prefaced all that with "for sysadmin work", which I think has a different standard than for regular people.

by kbenson 5y ago
I have to say, for sysadmin work I find this view sorta overblown. My experience is with RHEL and derivatives, not Fedora, and for the most part those are very straightforward and while selling does rear it's head every once in a while

Nobody is talking about stated reasons, the question is what grounds Google would have to object on if they chose to. That means it's speculation.

I think you missed some of the nuance. This is two famous people with the same name, one just much more famous. There's likely to be some times where over 5-10 years which of the two is more famous shifts. A name is not a unique iden

I'm not sure, but I get the feeling that independent ISPs are having a bit of a resurgence, so maybe you'll be lucky and someone will look to serve your area. Or you can try it yourself. :) I imagine it's easier now than it

It is. Sonic in northern California. More places soon, but scaling out physical infrastructure build has its own learning curve and often larger lead times. :)
