Not to mention Reddit doesn't crash when HN links to it, whereas it seems like his blog does.
- abnercoimbre 6y agoMeta point: Oh so that's what happened. It occurs so frequently that I'm sworried about the lack of robustness against this phenomenon.
- cpach 6y agoThat’s easily fixed though, e.g. by using Cloudfront or something similar.
- cortesoft 6y agoIf it is that easy to fix, then why does it happen over and over and over with posts on HN? There is obviously enough of a barrier (either in time or cost) that keeps everyone from doing it.
- outworlder 6y agoBecause it's easy to fix, but the effort is not _zero_ Also, people may not realize this is a problem until it actually becomes a problem. In the mean time they will be happily rendering stuff on every page load, after fetching (static!) data from mysql on every single request.
- jnwatson 6y agoIt also takes time and money to test.
