I can't remember the last time I went out of my way to look at who authored something because I disliked it on a visceral level.

The writing here goes from too much punctuation to grad students book review to quasi political rant. And the criticism might be valid but I simply can't get past the horrid delivery.

Prelapsarian... yay I learned a new word. It did not help with the delivery of the conclusion.

> too much punctuation

I thought you were joking. ... After a while, I started expecting a comma after each and every word.

First time I heard about the Moomins. I thought this was about Mumins[1].

Quoted from the article:

"Why It’s Time to Step Back

As I near 60, I’ve come to realize I simply don’t have the same mental sharpness or stamina I used to."

Decline in mind sharpness. Decline in stamina.

It is your twist and unjustifiable generalization of the author's words about the author himself:

> "aging is a synonym of cognitive decline"

compared to:

> As I near 60, I’ve come to realize I simply don’t have the same mental sharpness or stamina I used to.

The author did not say anything about anyone else.

This is pure speculation, but what are the chances this change is simply an attempt to provide legal cover what they might have started doing 50 versions ago?[1]

Could explain the << calculation a bit? I read about the operator but it’s not clear how this works

1 is 2 to the power 0 ... 0b0001

shifted left once, it becomes 2 to the power 1 ... 0b0010

shifted left twice, it becomes 2 to the power 2 ... 0b0100

shifted left three times, it becomes 2 to the power 3 ... 0b1000

etc until

shifted left 136_279_841 times, it becomes 2 to the power 136_279_84 ... 0b1000...many zeros...0000

subtract 1, it becomes

0b0111...many ones...1111

Sigh. I'll get that fixed and figure out how that happened.

This was corrected to:

> ... SSH certificates issued by the Cloudflare CA include a field called valid_principals

which indicates it wasn't just the spelling of `principals`.

Having implemented similar systems before, I was interested to read this post. Then I see this. Now I have to find out if that really is the field, if this was ChatGPT spellcheck, or something else entirely.

I am not sure if this is intended as humor, but JavaScript came before CSS.
