So in regards to Wildcards, I see as an example they have
Data???which would be a file beginning with Data followed by exactly three characters. Does that mean we can doData????so on and so forth until we hit the character limit? -

*, soData* -

*, soData*Yeah I'm just wondering how far that can go. Seems like a weird way to do it. I'm wondering the use case. I bet it's very limited.

@scottalanmiller interview in Dilbert?

So the numbers 2 and 4 correspond to the number of hard links to the file. Is it more common to see hard links created than a symbolic link, even though symbolic links are more modern/capable of more? Just based on reading alone it seems weird that
lnautomatically assumes you want to create a hard link and you have to specify the-smodifier for a symbolic link. It feels like it should be the opposite:ln -h

But you agreed to get bounced when you bought the ticket. You aren't owed the flight...
Man that's hard to say with a straight face.

Sadly - that is probably in the small print now-a-days.

You agree that by purchasing this ticket we can forcibly throw you from the plane after you've boarded.
Seems a bit insane. . .
