Akamai handles that billion connections. “All” Reddit has to do is handle the database transactions. They’re also serving all signed in users directly, from a secondary cache, but this is the kind of traffic they already handle on regular b

Simple “reply (charging…)” would fix that. Javascript counter would be even better but let’s not hope for miracles :)

If you don’t plan to maintain it, then it’s probably best to just archive the site by taking a static copy. Or sandbox the PHP process and give it read only access to the database and the file system before some random attacker messes it up

I know Linux is working on hibernating processes[1] and Windows 8 has made significant progress also. This would be cool feature for desktop as well, for example to integrate with KDE’s Activities. [1] https://ckpt.wiki.kernel.org/index.ph

AWS doesn’t have anything even remotely approaching Appengine Datastore in functionality and scalability. S3 is also inferior in functionality to Google Cloud Storage, e.g. eventual consistency, no atomic operations. That’s actually a big d

You can do quite a bit in Linux with CGroups and SELinux. Projects making good use of those are Fedora, Systemd and Chromium browser.

I knew that JVM had some advanced GCs available, including few commercial ones, but I didn’t know about Java RTS. That’s great.

by deno 14y ago
Erlang still uses GC, however because there is no shared memory (except ETS[1]), the GC can run independently for each process. This is eons better than JVM[2], with all the benefits of not having to worry about manual memory management. It

Obviously that approach is fine enough for many things. Before node.js, people have written those kinds of servers in Twisted or Netty, with great results. Netty based framework powers, for example, much of Twitter. I was just explaining ho

The article is not about the MLOC. And anyway, that 2.5 MLOC of Erlang includes all kind of libraries, like Mnesia, an entire database application.

The 2.5 MLOC of NASA code is mostly generated. I’m not really sure what point are you trying to make…?

Erlang could use a bit more isolation as well. For example limiting the mailbox size and limiting the memory available to a single process. Memory limits would be great to give you some ease of mind when reusing libraries for processing inp

The figure is just mentioned to say that the code base is quite complex. And what are you talking about? It’s not a rant on anything. Certainly not the 2.5 MLOC.

I meant to write EventTarget API. Yep. However, the implication is that it’s based on the DOM event model. So, for example, you have three stage processing: 1) capture phase, 2) target phase, and 3) bubble phase. YUI 3 has its own API, bu

I think they meant the latter. Why is it /etc instead of, perhaps more obvious, /config or /settings?
