It's rather jarring to read "Can lisp programmers still feel smug about using lisp? No" followed by "the average programmer is probably best actively discouraged from utilizing thi…

Like most other people commenting here, I don't have advice on the career path—in my case, it's because you haven't given any information about what your strengths or interests are…

You call out impostor syndrome when you actually have evidence to suggest it is the case, not completely baselessly. Like when you give someone a role because you believe in their …

>> "Easy problems take me 2-5 hours." > Those problems are supposed to be hard because they're based on ideas discovered by the most brilliant minds. If you can do them in 2-5 hour…

Thanks! The trouble is all of these can fail for what I would consider legitimate reasons. Requiring a receipt fails if they just open it, maybe even use it a bit (or not), and wai…

Some people's senses of humor...

> It is well documented that there is no cell phone that cannot be unlocked. Citation needed?

So terminating in a root CA imposes more restrictions than terminating in a non-root CA here? Something about that seems off...

I'm confused, isn't this the normal criterion for a certificate being valid? If your certificate chain doesn't end in a locally-installed trusted CA then how is that any different …

I like how absolutely critical little 'details' like this get missed on HN so easily, by people speaking with extreme confidence. Thanks for the reality check!
