me: wonder if there's a problem? i'll find a status site me 2 seconds later: nah, i'll check HN me 5 seconds later: ahh, there it is
And rather than an indication that it is not working, I was just told to login again; since the attempts were unsuccessful, I was led to reset my password. Now I have no clue if the password has been reset properly or an old one is used, or login with google is used, or if I will continue to be logged out after they fix stuff. If your service is down, please say "my service is down".
I'm just waiting for all my relatives to breathlessly call me saying "I THINK MY FACEBOOK WAS HACKED".
Inexcusable to catch people in a reset loop during a login outage, and not confirm which password is the current one.

It's real. Single core performance improves all the time. People overestimate how much power it takes to handle lots of queries per second on a well-tuned system and well-written software in 2024. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
Note that's the application server process being single threaded, but the server machine is 4 core, so nginx cache etc use other cores
I looked up the CPU mentioned in the link from your other comment. It looks like HN handles enormous traffic on about 2x the power of the last Celeron chip ever made.

Does it really or is this a joke? Edit: I found the following, I wonder if it's still the case. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16076041

Much better defense if someone accuses you of racism - you still have not shown that I am wrong.
So you're saying you do own your racism. Well good for you, one of the brave racists -- now we know what kind of a person you really are. But it doesn't mean you're right, it just means your opinion is worthless and you're not worth debating because you're an intellectually dishonest bigot, even worse for believing in scientific racism. Edit: Your beloved scientific racism is not reality, it's a pseudoscience, as foo…

Or people are using Facebook Auth for them. I don't really trust Down Detector, which despite the claims is really People Winging on Twitter Detector.
Yeah, it's wild that it's now treated as an authoritative source, especially by some news organizations. It's as good as asking a neighbor what happened with a loud noise down the street. Sometimes you'll get something good, sometimes it'll be completely wrong.
I love how no one here is talking about the "coincidental" timing that this is happening on Super Tuesday. Carry on, nothing to see here.
If this was 2016, I'd think there could be a possibility. Given that the candidates for the election are almost 100% a foregone conclusion at this point, what purpose would it serve?
Looking at the Downdetector home page [1], it looks like many more services are having outages, not just the ones owned by Meta, including: - Google - YouTube - Google Play - T-Mobile - X (Twitter) - Discord - TikTok - Pokemon Go - Snapchat It looks like they all have the same failure point.

There is no consistent scale on that graph, so any local maxima of reports received would look similar to any other.
Both are above their baselines, but I bet some is just mis-reports, or increases in awareness due to more people checking in.
Meta seems to be the only one really affected from what I can tell.
