- tim333 12y agoReddit has rather more complex database queries than StackOverflow so that's not really apples to apples
- notwedtm 12y agoGenuinely curious as to how you came to that conclusion.From the outside looking in, they both look like they would serve similar queries. On top of that, SO's search feature is (IMHO) loads better than Reddit's.
- integraton 12y agoStackOverflow uses ElasticSearch (open source, Java) for search.
- ansible 12y agoReddit does get about 15x the traffic SO does. But there are too many confounding variables to draw any conclusions about Linux vs. Windows.
