The problem is that there are no wishes to respect. I think everyone mainly just wants to know he is okay. If he is and he wants space, I'm sure he'll get it.
I think Zed lucky-stiff'd him. Which is the proper punitive measure for anybody that actually teaches the usage of JDBC.

""" Let’s all talk about HTTP error code 410. ... Error 410 means Resource gone, as in, a resource used to exist at this location, but now it’s gone. Not only is it gone, but I don’t know (or I don’t want to tell you) where it went. ... Now, there is not a lot of information about error 410... I suppose because it addresses a condition that doesn’t come up very often. Also, we’ve all been brainwashed into believing that all resources should be permanent, which simply isn’t true.

His servers are returning 410 errors but also the same very deliberate HTML:
410 Gone Gone
The requested resource/ is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource.
Clearly Mark's invocation of the 410 error is deliberate.

Commenting here to increase the surface area for you to register your displeasure with my commentary. I'll pass along details of the monastery of the Holier-Than-Thou upon request to downvoters.
ROUND THREE: KARMALITY. One disadvantage to downvoting me, you have to get down from your high horse to reach the touchpad of your macbooks.
Give me the golden shower of downvotes!
His github account is gone as well ( http://github.com/diveintomark ). This is troubling. I'm glad I downloaded Dive Into Python 3, at least.
I really hope Mark is okay, and I'm really going to miss Dive Into HTML5. That resource had a truly unique writing style, featured a great design, and was an a absolute treasure trove of valuable information. I was literally on the site just yesterday, reading up on local storage.
He's making recompense for making JDBC part of the first exercise in a Python book. He'll return from the self-flagellation in two years after some time spent at a monastery. I fully expect his enlightenment will bring much into the world of programming.

He hasn't deleted his Hacker News Account yet. I don't believe you can delete an HN account.
I think you can email pg to delete your account.
