Yes, I think I remember what you were talking about.
Seemed like /. was one of the first millions-of-hits-per-day site that was heavily dynamic content. All with Perl and MySql, right? I still don't really understand how they do it, but I remember feeling grateful that they were describing it openly.
- mrb 15y agoI always assumed Slashdot was pre-generating static files (every few seconds or so, at least of the main top stories) that were served to the users. Isn't that why their comment form said that your comment might not appear until a few seconds after submitting it?
- marshray 15y agoYes, but there were also profile options to modify your own view, right? So the main page seems at least partially dynamic too.
