I think Go is currently the best choice for a web backend; an objective evaluation of PHP and Go would certainly put Go ahead. If

Yes for performance running code, for performance as in “developer time” PHP is way faster. Go is solid but developer take more time implementing stuff with it. Use PHP for everything business related except for that one or two cases where you really need the performance that Go provides and where it is worth the extra dev time.

Easy example. Have they fixed file upload behavior yet? Do they store the entire file in memory by default instead of chunking it and storing it as it comes in?

Are you in 1995? PHP dynamically decides how to manage uploaded files, it will generally store a few MB on RAM and move it to disk after that point. It also support streams so the backend can take the incoming data live and do stuff with it without storing it first as usual in the classical model. There are also plenty of higher level solutions to deal with chunked uploads, mobile clients disconnecting such as tus.io that are used by large companies like Vimeo.

Maybe the issue in your example isn’t related to “how bad PHP is” but is to “how bad the code you’re referring to is”. Never had those kind of issues and yes obviously you’ve to know what extensions an application is using, but once again, modern PHP applications usually use composer as dependency manager and will gave those specified inside the project.

Dude, fire Wireshark, launch Firefox and then come back here. Just because others do it, doesn’t mean it is decent nor should Mozilla do it and no, its just not once, Firefox is constantly going for their servers for multiple reasons, not all requests include the ID that’s true, but calling 3rd party analytics companies… from a browser… kind of questionable. We all know there are other ways to fingerprint a browser.

Stop believing on the narrative of the all savior Mozilla. They’re full of shit, less than others indeed, but still shit.

Yes it is, you’re destroying culture. And it isn’t only one episode or one tv show, there are countless reports on episodes and movies that are suddenly missing parts, episodes etc because it “hurts” someone. Let alone “politically correct” remakes from Disney. How come you don’t see this is what China and others do with imported media?
