Your mental model of concurrency is not correct. Node.js uses non-blocking IO to achieve massive amounts of concurrency on a single thread, while one-thread-per-request models such as PHP rely on OS threading to do the exact same thing. If

My public school in the US always started at 8:00. I've never heard of a 6:15 start time. Also, school was never a full 8 hours. So I'm confused about their reasoning.

I think that the two go hand-in-hand. In car-centric America, if you can't meet the minimum of a car, then you can't live there. So you migrate to the city where the cost of a roof is artificially high. And having more livable cit

The Surly Long Haul Trucker is a favorite base bike. Getting the bags and racks etc won't be included. A good local bike shop would be my bet.
