Completely bizarre. Looks like a bunch of 0's got written into memory at random intervals. Is it flaky RAM on the HN server? Has anyone else seen HN content render like this? Reloaded the page, and now everything looks normal. Running memcheck on my laptop as a next step...
- dang 5y agoWow! I've never seen anything like that.
- pvg 5y agoCould easily be on your end. It'd be strange if memory corruption just affected the (encrypted) payload but left everything in the rest of the network protocols perfectly intact
- benplumley 5y agoI've never seen this on the web, but I get something very similar after I put my computer to sleep with an ongoing mosh session.
- Anthony-G 5y agoI’d suspect that the problem with low-level client-side libraries – not necessarily hardware-related. I’ve had corrupted rendering/display of web pages when I had a couple of hundred tabs open while running Firefox (GNU/Linux) on my old computer with 4GB RAM. Sometimes pressing “refresh” would resolve it or switching to another application and then switching back. Memcheck never reported any problems with the RAM itself. I haven’t experienced any such problems after installing the Auto Tab Discard extension which allows me to have lots of tabs opens without suffering excessive memory pressure.
