>Once I started playing, I couldn't stop until I had done all the things. And when I was done with that, I never picked it, or Minecraft, back up again.

With a friend I played Minecraft for years. Every time we met I would bring my xbox360 controller and we would dig, build, whatever, for hours and days on end.

One week, we decided to go for the nether dragon, at the time newly added to the game. We spent hours farming items, going to hell and losing stuff there, but we went on, arrived on the nether world, spent ten minutes finding out how to deal with the dragon and we killed it. Then we looked at each other and said "oh, now we have finished Minecraft".

We never played it again.

From the article :

> Perhaps you will succeed where I failed, and find a way to include in a chart the largest z-index value I found, namely 10^1242-1.

> Yes, that’s 1242 times the number 9.

Come on, I know maths are no longer needed to be a developer, but this is ridiculous.

Haghn | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Have you ever had an existential crisis?

I am not much experienced with stoicism, so I can't say.

My reasoning is that a crisis is generated by an unpleasant situation that may be difficult to identify, thus the feeling of powerlessness. By looking for what you want - or don't - out of life, and in an ideal situation (in front of death, a very personal thing where you don't have to deal with habits, job, or any external pressure), you can identify the elements in your life that suit you or don't, and act on it.

Middle clicks on links are also pretty broken. Sometimes they do open the link in a new tab, something they open the link in the same tab, sometimes they do nothing.

As someone who use mainly workstations with a at-least-three-buttons mouse, I feel web browsing is getting increasingly annoying.
