You are presenting situations that are hard but not impossible to deal with. If you can keep the stuff in RAM, you can also serialize it to disk and then restore it from there. The only thing you cannot do is reply to external inputs during

What you are missing is that, in php-fpm, while the interpreter process itself is not destroyed after every request, it does cleanup everything on the php-side (ie, it closes all open descriptors, it unloads all php code, etc.). This is a

In typical PHP applications, the entire application is bootstraped, executed and teared down for every request. RoadRunner lets you run "workers" (php processes) that perform all the bootstrapping just once, and then receive-proce

No, what the docs say is that range is a generator. It never stores the entire list of values, but it does iterate through all the numbers, spitting them out one by one (hence it uses O(1) memory, but O(n) computation). Equivalent pseudoc

There is a valid reason: to enable website-to-hardware communication (i.e, to provide a javascript-based api for websites to interface with that hardware). Ideally browsers should implement well standardized, secure APIs for all devices in

If you want an arbitrary (thus https based) website to be able to communicate with a localhost server using websockets you are forced to use https on the localhost server. This is because the browser won't connect to non-secure webso

Examine the facts: - Many research fields have anywhere between 3 and 10 groups working in them. - A review always transpires the background of the reviewer. You just cannot "mask" the shape of your knowledge around a highly-speci

Some Microsoft skeptics are more thoughtful than you concede. For an example, I strongly suggest you to watch the "Linux Sucks. Forever" talk by Bryan Lunduke [1] (who worked at MS some ~5 years). If you don't have the time

If you are interested in trying something similiar, this is what Qubes OS [1] does, albeit with a different implementation (separate VMs for separate tasks). It is more cumbersome to use than the current mainstream paradigm, but not that mu
