It's also an issue when you don't even fully control the client, which in this case is the web browser. A game at least behaves exactly as you program it. Browsers are not necessarily consistent, especially when you throw in extensions.
- jedberg 7y agoYes excellent point. Some browsers/plugins will prefetch every GET on the page to speed up browsing.
- Rebelgecko 7y agoSome browsers also show a "here's your top 10 most visited webpages" shortcut when you make a new tab, which does a GET. I ran into that one when I was being lazy about building/testing an API.
- justinhj 7y agoIn the Hacker News case there isn't a GET request on the page, it's triggered by the javascript so this would not happen
