We're trying to figure it out. I just restarted the server. Will see if that fixes anything...

Later: Problem seems fixed. The server had been running for a comparatively long time, maybe two weeks. Presumably it (or Mzscheme) ran out of something. It seemed more important to make the site work than figure out what.

Are you sure it was news.yc? I was seeing slowness across different parts of the net at the same time... perhaps it's just a coincidence.

Yes, it was us.

I also noticed some random other slowness.

I notice random slowness everyday with Comcast...

i don't know about the nature of the YC.news architecture, but if it's an error that happens unexpectecly then it must be due to some scheduled automatically recurring function that fails somehow and eats up all memory...

so probably it must be on the web server or the stats logging

update: or the weighting algorithm, which is obviously a new addition

I think we should redirect the warp drive through the deflector array. Either that or jettison the anti-matter pods.

EDIT: We should also re-phase the dilithium crystals before we lose containment in the nacelles.

Ok Ok -- I deserve a score of zero for that one. But I couldn't resist. Sometimes humor can be instructive, right? : )

No, you fool!

Reroute auxiliary power through the plasma conduits!

You're missing "containment" somewhere in there.

couldn't resist to what exactly?

Assimilation.

Resistance is futile

it seems better now...

memory leak?
