Plus, "Not Found" is defined in the standard as the default description for 404.
Who cares what the default description is?
403 Get Fucked

@topspin I know this is the funny stuff thread by White Farmers are getting fucked over and no one fucking western news source is talking about it.
I saw a 8 year old girl given a joker smile for being white in South Africa.
Btw most white farmers are boer which basically means Danish, and they never colonised the land like the English did. They literally didn't have anything to do with the empire.

@topspin That is lame as fuck. I am developer makes me want not to be a fucking developer.

@topspin The UI that the girl uses in the movie was a proper SGI Interface at the time that was part of IRIX.
I been trying to get an SGI O2 for a reasonable price to compliment my ancient computer collection.

Yep. And then their economy will fall apart, and they'll beg the white people to come back. It's Zimbabwe 2: Electric Boogaloo.

The Boers are descended from the Dutch, not the Danes. (I've worked with a number of them over the years.)

I used to use one of those. It was an odd piece of hardware; desperately slow by comparison to the laptop I had (an early WinXP laptop) but could do hardware palette swapping which meant that I could have a far more graphically elaborate desktop than other contemporary hardware would allow (at least to start with; that laptop outclassed it totally though). The big advantage of the system though was that it would run the commercial compiler suite that generated the best code for our supercomputer.
I never used that interface from the movie.

If you’re talking about South Africans, then “boer” means “farmer”, not “Danish” in Dutch (and Afrikaans), which they spoke (respectively speak) because they’re of Dutch descent.
and they never colonised the land like the English did
They literally didn't have anything to do with the empire.
They did, but didn’t want to — that’s why they started their own countries in what were basically other people’s lands.

I've seen it plenty on Western news. Here's a Reuters article, for instance:
Might just be a different bubbles thing.

Over 3 years ago, curtains were invented, which provided "full-window protection". No longer could people be observed sleeping in their bedrooms from the street. However, homebuilders generally opted to not build bedrooms with an internet-connected video camera, which government agencies would only access under a court order.
...
Curtains significantly limit our capacity to investigate these crimes and severely undermines our efficiency in the fight against terrorism. Why should we permit criminal activity to thrive behind drawn curtains, unavailable to law enforcement? To investigate these cases without bedroom video surveillance is to proceed with one hand tied behind our backs.
...
in the absence of cooperation from homebuilders, regulators and lawmakers in our nations must now find an appropriate balance between the marginal benefits of curtains and the need for local law enforcement to solve and prosecute crimes. The safety of our communities depends on it.

I think knowing that is better than not being sure if the entire site shit itself because it failed to load leftpad-cdn.js/leftpad.js or because your old bookmark is no longer valid because the page you were visiting got deleted.
-
@bb36e That is a good point. If it gives you a message denoting that the problem was a 500-class (internal) error when it was actually a 400-class (user) error, that's a problem.
-
@bb36e No because it exposes how your server works with the outside world. Please tell me you don't program websites?

is that an ice cream truck?
Yes. Though we call them vans over here, not trucks.
Van makes more sense, but I would have thought it would be an "ice cream lorry."

No.
A van is something up to about the size of a long wheel base Transit. A lorry is typically over 7.5 tonnes, which would be a lot of ice cream

@jaloopa
But merely the amount of ice cream we deserve.

@jaloopa what about a lift?
-
@bb36e If it's not too far out of your way, a lift home would be very welcome. Thanks

Ice cream van:
Lorry:
I thought "lorry" referred to anything that a USA-ian might call a "truck," from teeny Toyota pickups to big rigs (like the above, aka tractor-trailer or semi) to heavy load carriers (dump trucks, etc.) to fire engines to utility vehicles (electricity or plumbing service, window delivery, automotive towing, etc.) to construction vehicles (e.g. concrete mixers).
Am I correct in that, or does "lorry" have a more restricted meaning? Or is it a thing where the context indicates a preferred usage, with "lorry" generally referring to a large vehicle?
In my understanding of USA-ian, "truck" indicates a vehicle with separated areas for putting people and loads. "Vans" and "buses" are primarily people-movers, with a van being smaller and something a family or business might use, and a bus being larger and used for transit or tourism.

Except in the US we frequently say "mail truck" or "delivery truck" for mail vehicles or FedEx/UPS vehicles that are clearly vans. (Meaning: the driver can get at the cargo without having to leave the vehicle.) (Also, if you say "mail van" or "delivery van" people will know what you mean, it's just a bit odd. Even though the vehicle you're looking at is clearly a van.)
But generally your rule is solid.
We also have the phrases "cargo van" (van with no seats and big doors in back for hauling stuff) and "passenger van" (van with lots of seats and a sliding door on the side for hauling people). Because "van" can be too vague.
Also whenever there's a mysterious crime, the police are always looking for a white-painted van or box truck. Not because there's some weird inclination for criminals to always drive a white-painted van or box truck, but simply because the vehicles are so common that they're on literally every block of every city in the country.
