If the 404 is due to the client calling the wrong URL, rather than trying to access an entity/record that doesn’t exist, the client code will incorrectly assume the entity/record doesn’t exist when it actually does. Eg an API has

If under your suggestion you have to look at the details of a 404 anyway to get a detailed error message, what is the point of the 404? Your client always has to do an explicit check for error/no-error. Why make them check two differen

Two reasons why using 200 instead of 404 can make sense: - No way to distinguish between the api client calling the wrong URL eg /mytypo/12345 instead of /myquery/12345. With 404, the client will not realise their mista

Assuming that’s the case, can anything be done to GVR above ground cables to make them less prone to arching / creating fires?

What about when the host is your domains dns server, and you need to ssh to it to fix a broken dns configuration. But because dns is broken the hostname you would use isn’t resolving anymore.

This is where documenting the API using OpenAPI / Swagger comes in handy. Then you can use code generation tools.

I believe the difference is in both of your examples, the “victim” wouldn’t be committing a crime. Imagine if employees were jailed for accepting sub minimum wage, rather than just the employer.

I used InterBase (Firebird predecessor) 15 years ago, and recall it had some big limits around versioning/lots of updates. To reclaim disk space we’d have to periodically backup/restore the db. It got so bad/frequent that we

In the UK, Cineworld has a £18/month deal for unlimited movies. Based on discounted/special offer ticket prices of ~£8 you need to watch about 2.5 movies a month to make it value for money. Having used it for 10+ years now it’s st

WireGuard’s philosophy seems to follow the unix “do one thing and do it well”. So for dynamic routing, 2FA, config management etc you are expected to use other tools for that. Ie for dynamic routing you should be running BGP or OSPF over th

Ethernet PoE is nice, but USB-C I can see as the future for most power requirements both because it can carry a lot of power and it has a small form factor (Ethernet is too bulky for more and more products these days). The biggest issue wit

Rather than penalise subsets of people with early starts, I would rather everyone pay marginally more in taxes for more buses. Also what if your family has both teenagers and preteens? In my family we drove, so the schedule was based on whe

For elementary students apparently “Hundreds of families were facing a 9:30 to 7:15 a.m. shift.” That’s a significant change in wake up time. Yeah, I’m not keen on that. It’s a non-starter.

Given postal votes are a thing, and have been for many years (at least for UK/AU/NZ), is there still such stringent requirements on making it difficult/impossible to buy/coerce votes? Since both can be done using postal

Yeah it is hard. The enforcement would need to be done on a single backend. Not all users need to have their auth done by the same specific backend, but each user individually should always have their auth go to the same backend (or same co

I think you are dead on, yeah it’s the quick rate of large numbers of requests that avoid the per-account rate limiting. Curious how they resolved this— run all authentication requests for a given user serially and in a consolidated fashion

You are correct there’s nothing in the core IPv6 spec itself about NAT. However the goal of IPv6 - to make all devices globally reachable - resulted in pretty much everyone not implementing NAT support until way too late in the game. And re

Re consumers, I can’t comment on how common they are, but people will have the ISP router, and then their router. They should ideally bridge but that doesn’t always happen, either due to just not knowing you should do that, or the ISP route

Yeah it’s the feature changes that made it problematic. They removed NAT, which made laymen deployment difficult. I can’t just plug an IPv6 router behind another router (or 3-4 levels of routers) and expect it to just work. In IPv4, DHCP+NA
