In this thread submit jokes you encounter on the Internet on this day. So far I only checked out 4chan so far, cause I know they do it regulary. This year there is a counter on each board indicating how many Canadians are browsing on it and each post has a rake icon next to it which you can use to "report" a Canadian.

Does anyone here actually like the redesign of desktop version of Facebook? I am no UX expert, but it feels like it breaks all the basic UX/UI rules. I keep switching back to the old version, but I fear that won't be a option soon.

On the bright side, it could potentially help me to ditch FB once and for all.

I have server exposing REST API and client (React SPA) consuming it. I already do validation of user input on the server, but now I want to add subset of it to client as well (no complicated business validation, just basic checks like min/max input length, pattern matching etc.). I identified three possible approaches to this problem.

1. Duplicate the server input constraints on client side and synchronize them manually. The easiest one to implement, potentionally difficult to maintain.

2. Expose new endpoint on server with all the constraints (allowed lengths/regex patterns), which will client load and store at the first load.

3. Validate input dynamically on server by making AJAX call on change of input. I want to avoid this one, as it could increase traffic a lot.

Thoughts/experiences on this problem?

Alternate questions: - Do you think you are smarter than average citizien of your country? - Do you think you are smarter than average HNer?

This type of question has been intriguing me for some time, as I feel almost everybody deep down thinks he is not a genius, but he still knows better than average Joe. I would be really curious if there were surveys with this question and how would different countries compare in results.
