Bug report for kogir: all items with an id less than 5million are 404'ing.
E.g. this loads: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5000000 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5000000
But this 404s: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4999999 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4999999
- kid0m4n 14y agoRegex pattern gone wrong?
- nwh 14y agoLooks like anything above ID 8000000 returns a 404 too.

- kogir 14y agoTogether, the two of you can probably guess the regex responsible :)
- nitrogen 14y agoDoes this mean that old content will be permanently inaccessible? One of my (rarely exercised) pastimes used to be typing a few random five- or six- digit IDs into the address bar, then following the chain up to the top-level article. I found some really interesting stuff that way.
- kfinley 14y agoI suspect that's intentional; older items are less likely to be cached.
