cellover··on The day I decided to be a Superhero
I will be sure to do so. In the meantime, I have learned a few things when writing this post:

* 'personally' takes one 'n', 2 'l'

* 'deactivate' instead of 'desactivate'

* use blockquotes in markdown

I guess that's a good start!

I called OVH dedicated server support and it seems the issue comes from the connection between french ISP Free and OVH networks.

At least the toaster-icon designer guy got some exposition now!

I loved it, it is concise, deep and enlightening! I highly recommand it.
cellover··on Ask HN: What are your favorite books? I'm bored
I like understanding where I am located in space and time, that is why I love reading about science & science fiction ; it is indirectly related to religion in the sense that it makes you think about your world, about yourself.

Buddhism / Religion / ... :

- Siddartha - Hermann Hesse

- The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

Science:

- A brief history of time - Stephen Hawking (space, time)

- The Blind Watchmaker - Richard Dawkins (evolution)

- Le cerveau intime - Marc Jeannerod (in french only)

Science-fiction:

- The Road - Cormack Mc Carthy

- City - Clifford D. Simack

- Time is the simplest thing - Clifford D. Simack

- Ringworld - Larry Niven

cellover··on Show HN: Steady – Shoot Cinematic Videos
I just bought it and it does not work on iPhone 4. I did not read the description before buying, my bad.

Unfortunately the app does not appear on https://reportaproblem.apple.com/.

[Edit] The app finally showed up on the "Report a problem" page

cellover··on Posty – A comprehensive, modern Postfix and Dovecot administration tool
Hosting your own email server is interesting, but don't forget that if 2/3 of your contacts use Gmail/Yahoo/MS, your messages are also stored there.
cellover··on Unix Tricks
Very interesting resource! It's amazing to see how after 10 years of using command line that you can learn new tricks. Every single day!
cellover··on Do nothing for 2 minutes
Agreed. It would be even more efficient if the timer disappears.
cellover··on Gravity waves from Big Bang detected
This page allowed me to have an idea of the concepts underlying this discovery (CMB light, B-mode polarization): http://cosmology.berkeley.edu/~yuki/CMBpol/CMBpol.htm
cellover··on Man Walks Nearly 3000 Miles Through China
Absolutely agreed! But even if the body helps the mind, it can be hard facing yourself, hard admitting you took the wrong direction especially if you are doing it alone.
cellover··on Man Walks Nearly 3000 Miles Through China
Everyone has different reasons for starting such an adventure but I tend to think that "hoping for a change" might be the worst. Don't get me wrong, I respect this idea, I just feel the starting asumption may lead you somewhere you did not expect at first.

You might not like what you find during your adventure, you might not like what you discover of yourself, you might lie to yourself, incounciously trying to convince yourself that you're on the right path.

Trying to stay really objective towards oneself during such a trip is quite a challenge by itself, a very interesting one.

I feel that hiking / biking for the sake of it, for the beauty of the world, of its people, for the physical performance is a much more truthful experience than any other self-conviction goal.

In the end, what counts stays in you, in your eyes, in your heart and muscles. And that's not the kind of things you can sum up by a video, a blog or any slideshow back home.

That said, I wish sincerely that you find yourself!

cellover··on 10 Realtime Web Technology Predictions for 2014
Is preventing middle-click to open in new tab a trend for 2014? If yes, I don't want to live on this internet anymore.

Thank you for adding some context! I will be sure to read about these mechanics, and probably not understand a word... pixl97 > nice analogy!

I'm wondering if the replication process has some sort of unit tests stored somewhere. Thank you for posting this!

whatis <cmd> when unsure of what a command does is quite helpful and displays short manual page descriptions, for instance some metaphysical question: > whatis time

I have always been amazed by the fact that the 2004 tsunami in Indian Ocean (227'000 deaths) cancelled the global human growth of one day...

Enlightening link, thank you for posting.

cellover··on Eve: How I miraculously escaped a gate camp in a Retriever and earned 100M ISK
I understand your concern about the price. I played the beta 11 years ago and did not subscribe. Yet, I followed the development of the game as a non player, always wanting to come back to the game to fully understand it. Of course the many stories I heard about the game helped keeping me motivated: https://truestories.eveonline.com/truestories/index.html

As for the training process, I tried to adapt my type of gaming with what skills I had at the moment from the beginning. I spent the first 2 months figuring out how to shape a balanced pilot: not buying crazy stuff you can loose (or you can't even equip because you don't fully understand the requirements mechanics), train skills that seem to matter, not focus on a certain game mode etc. And it has been rewarding because at no point so far have I felt enslaved by the skills system.

But maybe that is because I am a fanboy and lack objectivity ;)

cellover··on Monkey typing ABRACADABRA
I find it quite ironic that there's a typo in the title on HN but not on the original article.
cellover··on Eve Online wages largest war in its 10 year history
I started playing 2 months ago and enjoyed every second of it. After a very dense playtime for the first 45 days (16'000 minutes / 45 days = 5.9 hours a day average), I started to settle a little bit, realizing my social life and mental health was slowly drifting towards complete dedication...

I keep talking with complete strangers that told me even after years of playing they were still discovering news things, tricks or kinds of gameplay.

I guess for newbies you need the patience and dedication to really have a grasp at the game, but even after intense gaming for 70 days I know probably very little about it; and for experienced players you need ways to renew the pleasure, change the type of gameplay you practice, go from nullsec to hisec, challenge yourself with crazy ideas and so on.

Youtube channels of JonnyPew (https://www.youtube.com/user/JonnyPew) and Scott Manley (https://www.youtube.com/user/szyzyg) were very inspiring in that sense.

Ps: I have a 40 hours / week job.
