With messaging it’s different. Transferring messages is relatively simple topic to do as a software. But the cost of running and maintaining it is hard and that’s what users don’t care.
Apache and nginx are both great, both have pros and cons, although I would go with nginx and fpm as my first choice.
Swoole is totally different approach as it runs php as standalone server in a loop, just like python for example. It is great if you serve api but it kills the benefit of having each request isolated as you would have with nginx or apache. So you need to care about memory leaks, db connection pools etc. Also Swoole docs was not great few months ago.
Roadrunner is kind of between apache/nginx and Swoole. It is a golang server that can execute php in workers. For each worker once php is loaded it will stay in memory and it is super fast. The only downside on this one is that Roadrunner is developed by mostly one guy and not much you can find on the internet. Also Roadrunner features set is IMO very narrowed into what the company behind it needs at the time. IMO there is no clear vision where this project is going.

I think the main problem these days is lack of understanding how computers and Internet work.
In addition, I also like is to avoid if/else when returning bool values:
if (a > b) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
return (a > b);I stopped using Facebook back in 2011 (only used it to manage and test my apps) as I was really concerned how easy is to collect personal data.
But I guess for me, as a developer, it is easy to imagine how things works and when to get suspicious online.
On the other hand it makes me really happy, Facebook privacy issues like this one with CA, got much attention and finally more people, hopefully, will understand how things works.
At this time whenever we have released any app, useres could login to it using OAuth which means they were presented with a list of privileges our app needs from them (eg. Friends list, photos, posts etc). Once user has authorised the app we could fetch all of this data.
This was how Facebook worked at this time, you can’t say it is a leak of data because we explicitly ask user for permission. You basically say, I want to use your app, here is my profile if you need it. I don’t really understand why people are so mad about their data privacy. If you publish your photos, list of friends, what you like, where you live and work, who are you merry to, then it shouldn’t be a surprise this data can be viewed by not only your neighbour but also a dodgy automated scripts. Once the data is fetched then you can only imagine what people can do with it. It’s not really Facebook fault. It’s people who thinks when they publish things on the Internet, it’s safe and can be only viewed by other people.
Maybe Facebook only role should be to make people more aware of all of this, but is it in their interest? I don’t think so.
The truth is there are not many good journalists who cares and it’s more about making clicks rather than produce rich content.
Don’t think there is anything we can do about false news. Just learn how to live with it.
