Yes, and? What's the point of this?

  Well, for better or worse this was the first place I came to when requests to github.com were failing.

It was down for 10 minutes about an hour ago too. Oh well, time to procrastinate! edit: Damn, it's up again. Back to work everyone..
Samuel_Michon 13y ago
...and it’s back up. If only all downtime could be like this – that took under 10 minutes.

I get that it's good to know these things, but is putting something at the top of a highly trafficked website, which will inevitably lead to a ton more traffic, gonna make getting it back up any easier? I guess it depends on the problem, maybe the cleaning lady unplugged the servers while she was vacuuming...

My favourite thing about Hacker News is seeing submissions like these. Partly because whenever a site is down, the submission is a link to the site itself and the traffic from people hitting the submission link might be making things worse. Why not just a title and some text without a link instead? Perhaps the title could say: "Tell HN: Github is down again" instead and perhaps the text could say something like, "I'm in New York and Github is down for me."

  Or just link to the status page instead (http://status.github.com http://status.github.com) which is separate from the main site.

  and a mandatory '$10 to HN url typo jar' if, 8 seconds later they realized that they just typoed the url and were hitting refresh ( or up arrow + enter ) over and over and over and over ...until oops :)

Which was hilarious because I put up some old C code of mine [1] and while looking to make sure its all there it hung on me. I immediately wondered if I had been the cause. Fortunately it came back fairly quickly. [1] https://github.com/ChuckM/Project3DC https://github.com/ChuckM/Project3DC
