Sometimes a Linux server which runs Nginx + PHP-CGI(php-fpm) web service may experience sudden system load increase and the CPU usage is around 100% for many php-cgi processes when checking with top command. If this happens, file_get_contents may be the cause if it's used in the PHP script. In lots of web applications, normally there are lots of API requests based on HTTP.

Coming from the Java world I had a good bunch of things I had to learn before I could use JavaScript. Some people say, you need to dig deep into JavaScript, otherwise you are not allowed to speak about the pros and cons of a language. I am not a JavaScript Ninja.

  C++11 multithreading tutorial

The code for this tutorial is on GitHub: https://github.com/sol-prog/threads. In my previous tutorials I’ve presented some of the newest C++11 additions to the language: regular expressions, raw strings and lambdas. Perhaps one of the biggest change to the language is the addition of multithreading support. Before C++11, it was possible to target multicore computers using OS facilities (pthreads on Unix like systems) or libraries like OpenMP and MPI. This tutorial is meant to get you st...
