Or maybe some sort of "hypertext" document. That could contain links to other such documents, allowing users to easily navigate content. All this interlinked content could form some sort of "web" even.

It isn't extra work or an edge case. It is doing the baseline correct thing. I can't count the number of fad obsessed "web developers" who ask us why we serve html instead of javascript crap, while they take 3 times as

Ejabberd is not an epoll-driven web server, which is what the quotes from facebook people said they wrote in erlang.

No idea. Sounds like the kind of thing that gets started based on a misunderstanding like someone saying "we wrote that in C++" in reference to part of the chat system. Either way, my point was that facebook isn't a PHP sho

It was always both as far as I know. "For Facebook Chat, we rolled our own subsystem for logging chat messages (in C++) as well as an epoll-driven web server (in Erlang)"

Facebook hasn't been a PHP shop in a long time. PHP is only used on the front end site. New projects that come along are written in whatever language makes sense. Like facebook chat being in erlang for example.

Throwing servers (money) at the problem is often incredibly wasteful, and exasperates the other problem you mentioned (the database). Having 500 servers all connecting to the database is not so awesome. Having 10 is a lot nicer.

Why are people so hypocritical that they claim soylent is not nutritionally complete but ensure is, despite the obvious fact that nutritional labelling laws allow us to see that soylent contains everything ensure does and more?

No, they don't disagree at all. They say you can replace A MEAL with ensure. Not all of your food consumption period . There is a big difference. They only ever talk about using ensure as a supplement to your diet, not a replace

Yes, in general it is pretty common for web developers to misuse relational databases as key-value stores. There's a common misconception that "joins are slow", so people write the joins in their application code instead, th
