Yes that’s websockets it seems. Must be quite a overhead, they use it on all answers.

- Trufa 14y agoBut it's awfully cool when you see it going up or down :)
- naiquevin 14y agoYes, it's websockets. You can check it in Chrome by keeping the console open and refreshing the page. Would be interesting to test in IE. BTW, as much as I am amazed to see websockets in action, the real time updating of vote count feels creepy and distracting at the same time :-)
- mattmanser 14y agoYeah, I guess we're going to see a lot more bad UX abuse of this in the near future. It's very distracting.
- ck2 14y agoIt makes me feel more connected though. As long as it's not abused I think it's a clever use. Have to research how to setup websocket server. This looks like an impressive project http://socket.io/ http://socket.io/
- KyleBrandt 14y agoWe currently have ~ 128k open sessions for sockets (They all go through HAProxy). They socket server process runs on 9 web servers, and each service is using less than 1% CPU at the moment. So very efficient from a sysadmin perspective (We did some tuning with conntrack so only the outside is tracked on the load balancers). Devs could give a lot more detail.
