I'm sure I'm not the only one curious how that Altair is holding up.

There was a post about it recently (advising that there would be downtime) - they've upgraded. It's considerably quicker now!

That was Saturday but appears to be related. PG posted this to Twitter[1]:

  Apologies for the HN outage. We think it may be related
  to the new server. This could take a while to fix.

Obviously the new server has some growing pains. :P

Just because the switch-over went smoothly doesn't mean that normal operations didn't fall apart later on.

But saturday morning the site was up Perhaps the server upgrade was delayed or something went wrong with it.

Curious too. I was able to ping the servers when it went down again a few hours ago just fine. Let's just hope it stays up now!

I think it may need some time to adapt the new server.
