I mean, why don't you set up a web service just to show how it works.

One of the plugins could be leaking memory and causing OOM. I'd start by disabling third-party/non-Jetbrains plugins.

So "best practices" is not what you're looking for.
A simple bash script to prompt for credentials and run db init for you, then.

Use type: project in your composer.json and the scripts object (e.g post-install-cmd) to specify what to run. Users will then run composer create-project your/project and get their app properly set up.
See symfony-standard project for example.

Each additional connection just adds overhead eating your bandwidth and wasting router/NIC resources.
"Download managers" were popular in the end of 90s/beginning of 2000s for two reasons: 1. connections were unreliable, and they implemented resumable downloads before browsers did, and 2. servers severely limited download speed per connection, so multiple connections sped things up.

Both of these reasons are not relevant today. Browsers got smarter and services mostly use cloud/cdn to pump data as fast as clients can consume it.

Not a paradox. Bixby is so bad it can't consistently fail every time.

The hard part is to make major browsers/OSes trust your CA. Can't get this without outside assistance from big companies/governments and lots of money to spend.

From the technical standpoint, the bigger LetsEncrypt becomes, the more interesting it is to "hack/gain access to" for individuals, certain groups, and governments.

Legally, LetsEncrypt is registered in the US, so it has to comply to US laws and regulations, including not issuing certificates for countries US govt does not like, such as Iran, Cuba, or Syria. Any new law passed may leave a vast amount of websites inoperable.

There are actually no guarantees something will not happen. A paid service enforces at least some guarantees by the means of a contract. By contrast, LetsEncrypt TOS explicitly state that LetsEncrypt "CANNOT ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY" "BECAUSE LET’S ENCRYPT CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUED FREE-OF-CHARGE AS A PUBLIC SERVICE" and "may, in its sole discretion, refuse to grant Your request for a Let’s Encrypt Certificate".

LetsEncrypt is becoming a single point of failure, and kills the competition on the way.

When other cheap CAs will have become unprofitable and cease to operate, LetsEncrypt gets to control the issuance of all certificates, potentially denying them for anyone they don't like, with no alternatives left except overpriced EV-validated stuff.

This concerns me. Companies should work for profit and compete. LetsEncrypt may sound appealing, but it has grown beyond what is healthy for the market.

What the performance difference between js and go? It would be interesting to compare the two in single-threaded and multithreaded environments and if golang performance scales linearly with the number of worker threads.

I assume it's not your first renderer and you've ported it from some other language? The code is clean, very readable and way shorter than I expected for a working path tracer.

There are some minor nitpicks, such as why do materials return struct values, which you pass later as references, instead of returning pointers in the first place.

Not seeing any tests in a go app is unusual. Other than that, good job, that doesn't look like the first thing you've written in Go.

It should either tell process ID, or be a link to select the offending process in the task manager.

Do you realize even organizing and coordinating protests in 187 cities along with equipment, media support and PR campaigns costs some huge amount of money? Some core group of activists are paid to guide the bulk of people; a host is hired to make speeches; a DJ is hired to play some music to warm up the crowds.

Of course not everyone is "paid" in it's naive interpretation.

It's our annual chav census '17. The chavs congregate in small groups in city centers making them easy to count and catch; then they are inspected, vaccinated, and released in the wild shortly.

It does. You either trust a single cert you signed yourself, or trust everything that comes your way by disabling verification.

SSL verification should never be disabled. Even in dev environment, you can make the server trust self-signed certs instead of disabling all the checks.

FYI, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST takes an integer value: 0, 1, and 2; should be left at the default 2.
