<p>Adam Lear commented on <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/283497/hot-network-questions-website-icons-scrambled">&quot;Hot Network Questions&quot; website icons scrambled</a> (thanks Glen_b for pointing this thread in the comments).</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>We have a race condition where when we update the favicon sprite map
  (which happened earlier today for a new private beta launch),
  depending on which web server you're hitting, you could end up with
  new cachebreakers and old images if you visit a site during a prod
  build.</p>
  
  <p>I'll ask around tomorrow to see what, if anything, we can do about
  that. AFAIK this didn't used to be a thing, <strong>but it seems to be
  happening pretty reliably to folks with every site we launch now</strong>.</p>

<p>I think that's it then.</p>

<p><s>As of now this is not particularly related to CV, I suppose we could close the question already?</s></p>

<p>It's not happening anymore.</p>
