If there is an afterlife possible in our universe, the information necessary for it must be compatible with its physics.

But so far, down to particle physics, nothing seems compatible with the idea of an out of body soul that is able to process this information.

The best thing back then (as a young adult with too much time) was how easy you could hack a lot of the online forums or servers.

searching altavista for phpbb forums using a version vulnerable to a given exploit or using cross site scripting waiting for someone to bite it, and then upload 99 shell everywhere you would gain access.

It really felt like having superpower.

Most people don't know this truth, in particular here in France where the name Cousteau still holds its aura.

I know because I watched and enjoyed the shows as a kid and most people at the time liked him. The only person I knew back then who didn't like the man was my dad (a sailor).

What I mean is the name is still strong enough to attract some interest.

Well I still think it shouldn't come as a surprise. We've got many example of successful industries with such culture, why would video game work any different.

I am simply surprised they manage to produce anything at all in such a culture, let alone a hit game.

The same culture you can find in Holywood, where hundreds of successful movies with unrivaled popular impact were produced.

I said it IS interesting ... to anyone.

You see the content drive the audience and then the audience drive the content.

Too much broad interesting articles and it's not Hacker News anymore.

The difference is the audience.

While I found this article interesting in itself, it's something that can be interesting to anyone, regardless of its background.

While harmless at first look, this can be an issue if too many content fall into this category.

Then you end up with a reddit clone instead of HackerNews. I'm here to see hacker news, not interesting stuff for anyone.

if you want to wake up early eat very early dinners.

Have a full breakfast to avoid sleeping during the day

Those 2 facts seem conflicting to me. In one case food deprivation helps you wake up while the other case it would make you feel asleep?

When they went out of beta/preview, the prices skyrocketed to absurdness and many people had to shutdown their app because of everything being coupled to their specific API and the notice being to short to adapt.

So yeah, don't invest into something when you don't know what the final pricing will be.

Yes. In some countries, laws are strongly in favor of employee protection (for a good reason).

That's the case here. One employer could severely abuse paying candidates for some quick job without any contract being even mentioned between the 2.

Model references are defined so that it can call any object, with the ability to define conditions to access objects, perhaps looping through lists of objects via SQL select statements and using TEMPLATE tags to create new DOM objects.

What - the - fuck

We have broken HTTP 12 years ago

You can't expect everyone to master everything. It's like ranting about how the whole classroom haven't got A+.

It's pointless ultimately.

The real question is how can we improve a protocol so it's better used by most people. Hence why it's evolving. Nothing should be set in stone forever and then expect everyone to comply to it or die.

We have broken HTTP 12 years ago

What a pointless rant. Things evolve, even norms and specs.

There's a reason why URNs are not used in the code, there are not enough by themselves, if you need use URIs.

There's a reason people don't use every status code in every webapps. It's a waste of time, better spent elsewhere.

Most webapps uses more then GET.

Etc. Anyway, HTML is not broken, it's used everywhere by billions of users every seconds.
