I was just wondering if I should do something like this. I use a couple query string values and I validate them and issue a 40x if the value is invalid. So, I was wondering if I should issue a 40x for an unused query string val.
Refactoring Comment Castles [0]. It uses Express, but I previously wasn't using any of my own middleware functions. Now, I'm starting to write some middleware, and it's a nice way to reuse code.

To Your Scattered Bodies Go - 2nd time I read it. Cool book. It's about a world with a big river where humans are reborn after they die on earth.
Use of Weapons - 2nd time I read it. One of the more popular Iain Banks Culture novels.
Dungeon Crawler Carl #1 - Loved it.
Matter - 2nd time I read it. This is another Banks Culture novel. This book is actually very good. Most of it takes places on a megastructure planet with different levels.

I develop a HN/Reddit clone [0] that has high density settings. The home page is fairly high density by default.

The density is more apparent on desktop since the lines don't wrap.
