What is it like to be 80 years old?

When is the last time you talked to an 80 year old? Would you even consider asking this question to an 80 year old in real life? Why try to research this question on HN where the average age is close to 25? What do 25 year old hackers know about aging? Oh sure, I have no doubt they assume they know something about everything but I really think you're barking up the wrong tree and need to go outside and, you know, talk to people.

That sounds like a big project. I've never encountered anything related to video that is solved with a simple technical solution. Unless you're talking about something like Google's Video Sitemaps.

Thanks for posting this link. Good to know about. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an indication of the value of those hypothetical cash prizes. Or did I miss it?

I've never had a problem with heredoc. I'm curious what you mean when you say "I can picture a number of ways to get almost the same effect . . . without complicating the syntax". Would you care to illustrate your point with an example so we can make the discussion a little bit more concrete?
