Ask HN: What's the site that tells you interesting things about a number?

I'm well aware and agree with of all of the points you make. I've lived on this rock for nearly 60 years and have seen all of the scams and bad behaviour and avoided them. My parents were avid readers of "Which" magazine

I feel the same is also happening with Rabbit Hole, though I might persist with it. The Kiefer and Charles Dance in the same series, what's not to like?

Dexter Fletcher as director piqued my interest in Ghosted just a wee bit. I read The Rachel Papers as a youngster and quite enjoyed the film when it came out (in which he plays the main character in the book). I'll probably watch it on

Ok, in the context of the article, what I'm saying is when a browser requests a page for the very first time, the server will have no idea if scripting is enabled and so your server side code will have no idea whether to send a 302 re

Ok, how does the server or the load balancer know if scripting is enabled on the first request?

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Many of the sibling comments are referring to server side generated HTTP 302 headers, and server side (without lots of fancy shenanigans) you won't know (server side) if the client has disabled
