Matthew MillerMy flight at gate 404 is delayed because... the plane isn't there.
I am not making this up.

Jeroen@mattdm 404 plane not found please go to 403 for the redirect 🤣
Endareth@mattdm You could try going to gate 403, but I bet they won’t let you on!

Pavel Moravec@mattdm Still better than 410.
Or 502 (that is Kafka's style :) ).
iamericfletcher@mattdm similarly, i was on vacation recently with a family friend who was involved in the creation of the three digit number system for request and responses! i knew he was involved in the early internet, but was so amazing to find out this particular tidbit of information....
@mattdm what's even funnier is that before dinner where i found this out in conversation, i was futzing around improving my frontend skills and admiring the 404 page that came with the particular cli command to initiate the project start point......just so fucking cool. i'm happy with my life, but sometimes i wonder what it would have been like to have grown up with the advent of personal computing and networking.....
Patrick Schmitz@mattdm you could move to gate 402, but you will have to pay extra.
@mattdm That's okay I was asked if I wanted cheese on my cheeseburger at McDonald's.
Harshad Sharma@mattdm @ErictheCerise I'll be rather anxious if my flight is ever at gate 500.
Anton Podolsky@mattdm At least your plane isn't a 418!
Matt Campbell@mattdm It strikes me as kind of messed up that that HTTP status code is so well-known. In a sanely designed Internet, arguably the status code would be buried in an enum in some machine-readable protocol definition, canonical identifiers for all of the statuses would be exposed in all of the HTTP client and server APIs, and the actual number of the "not found" status would be something that very few people know. And users would certainly never see it.
Jules@matt @mattdm From the programmers I met in Cobol class way back when, I think the fun of playing as in the humour in this thread was part of the reason they tended to make it visible. I think it was sanely designed for humans who like to play... and to some degree makes the system less intimidating for non-programmers.
Then again, I have been known to comment on my own fact recall when someone asks with "Damn, 404" - the brain area which the search says ought to spit it out says it isn't there
Michael Clayton@mattdm I embarked from gate 418 once, but wound up orbiting the sun.
Huh
Seedy Three Sixty@mattdm @jaybird110127 404: aircraft not found.
Michael@mattdm consider yourself lucky you aren’t at gate 418 😁
Alerta! Alerta!@mattdm Lucky you're not at Gate 451...

I'd like to see stats about how often that happens at gate 404. It is amusing to think it might be more frequent than others, manifesting reality from its numbering, and prior to the http standards, there was no deviation. 😁
Parade du Grotesque 💀
Pablo Rrrrrrr@mattdm Guessing you drove a Ford Explorer when you should’ve picked a Lincoln Navigator. Or even the lesser known Mercury Mosaic.
LaF0rge@mattdm nothing beats "flight 2222 to toulouse" https://simpleflying.com/lh2222-to-toulouse/

Will Clark@mattdm would be much more impressive if your flight at gate 418 was delayed because there was no plane, only a teapot.
Esme Ciredutemps@mattdm the answers 😱
Badscrew@mattdm better than whatever happens at gate 403
Maho 🦝🍻@mattdm 403 wrong flight, 301 moved to another gate.

🇺🇸Sleepy Liberal🇺🇦@mattdm sounds like a reasonable reason to delay lol
Wolleysegap@mattdm experienced travelers avoid 404.
Tim Richards
Geoffrey Adams@mattdm Good thing you weren't flying out of gate 502...
Prof Wordsmith@mattdm
They let 1970’s Wonder Woman land there again?

Administrator@mattdm I think I read this Stephen King book
Matt Broughton@mattdm amazing 😆
Anshuman Tripathi@mattdm Pictures or it didn't happen 😁
Half Cocked Law@mattdm Better than getting on at 416 and finding out the hard way
CareyontheRoad@mattdm My train didn’t arrive today because the previous train ‘can’t find the driver’ so cannot leave the station.
Marud 
@mattdm You'll be always missing your flight if onboarding at gate 410.
DC@mattdm 404 Error – plane not found?

@mattdm could try date 451, but it might be for government workers only
Katzedecimal@mattdm
404 error, plane not found
404 error, plane not found
Jon Tromans@mattdm find gate 301 and you'll just end up at your destination.

Javielico 🌖@mattdm that’s brilliant! 🤣
