Ahh no, I&#x27;ve just submited to HN my new library <a href="https://github.com/salboaie/harvests" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;salboaie&#x2F;harvests</a> (simpler replacement to promises and flow control libraries)

What is the point in this thread? <a href="http://status.github.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.github.com</a> will answer that question. HN doesn&#x27;t need threads asking &#x2F; telling people whether things are down

Either GitHub is making headway in mitigating the DDoS attack, or not all GH pages sites were affected. (My repos pages are working fine.)

Github gets DDoS&#x27;d a lot more than I&#x27;d expect. How did they even make enemies like that?
