I think this would have been much better titled "Boosting NGINX Performance 9x with Asynchronous wrappers around blocking system calls". Most people when hearing about "thread pools" in the context of a web-server think

I find it really strange the Navy is doing this. Does it actually have an intelligence wing capable of taking advantage of this? And if you thought the NSA was the cyber intelligence wing of the DoD, so did I.

I remember a post a few years ago about running code by triggering page faults in the MMU. Basically they created a single instruction computer (which can be Turing complete) out of the MMU, hence allowing processing to occur with the MMU t

And if Apple gave encryption keys to Russia or China I am guessing the USG would be OK with that? Or would that "betray their customers right to privacy"?

Unless it changed recently, but I used to click there through Google search results and still get some blurred out page, or only one answer, or a timeout that tried to make me register. And quite frankly, I prefer the rather diverse univers

Sourceforge is now on my personal blocklist for Google search results. Along with expertsexchange which I added years ago, and Quora which may surprise some.

Well if it "does more" for every request when you are handling many thousands of concurrent requests, that is going to be one hell of a busy server.
