It's also optimistic that a vaccine for this virus is even possible or likely in our lifetimes. No member of the coronavirus family has yet to succumb to a vaccine in mass trials, and it is a large family with decades of attempts.

(I love the counter optimism that if we succeed with a coronavirus vaccine we have a likelihood to vaccinate against nearly a third of the common cold and it can join the flu as something if we'd all annually vaccinate would trouble us a lot less. But pessimism worries that is a big if.)
Stock splits can also be used for companies with values too low (A reverse split) . These companies split to increase the value of stocks in order to prevent delisting from exchanges.

> If you don't want to be indexed

If I had a web site that actually makes money as opposed to only consuming money for domain and hosting, I would want it to be indexed, and I would want search results from that index to be fair.

By “fair” I mean I want it to only depend on the content of the site. I’m OK for search results to depend on the content of other pages on the internets which might link to it, helps to rank pages making search results more relevant. I don’t want search results to depend on my choice of web technologies (see AMP), or commercial relations between search engine and third parties.

I don’t do web development, but I have some understanding of the tech involved, and I think many people have reasons to be unhappy with the status quo.
Kind of like this? https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs
One thing it can impact is derivatives trading. A standard option contract controls 100 shares, which can be quite a large amount of $ if each individual share is priced highly (likewise affects the effective granularity of the common option strike prices in the market)

Update: For something like TSLA which may have some psychological "Bitcoin-like" speculation going on among retail investors, I suppose the big number could reduce the desire to buy since "it can't go much higher" in some people's head, I guess.
For being the go to example of “HN user craps on launch of highly successful product”, the reply to Drew’s reply is pretty respectful and backdowns down on several points.
I think I prefer stock splits over dealing with fractional shares.
I won't strongly argue with your opinion. Basically because business is complicated and I don't believe I would know what is the losing strategy for Mozilla. But I don't really know how Mozilla could be interesting to me outside of Firefox.

Someday they had a name which could be worth something, but I lost my trust in Mozilla ages ago. I don't believe their management, to me they have as much integrity as Facebook (ok, maybe a little more... I'm not sure). I am using Thunderbird and don't know a good alternative, so it would be a pity if it dies, but I'll get over it pretty quickly. Moreover, I don't really need any new features for Thunderbird, nothing but security updates.

Even more than that, I am not really that picky about the engine. Sure, I was always pretty enthusiastic about the technology in Mozilla (I mean — Rust! — do I even need to say more?). And I do like Gecko. But, you know, if they believe they will deliver better if they switch to WebKit, I'm kinda ok with it. If it won't break any plugins, chances are I won't even notice. I may cheer for Servo and stuff, but it's not why I use Firefox. The browser as a product is a bigger part of the UX for me than mere rendering engine. Also, Firefox is still a little less of a spyware than the competition. Fuck up that experience for me, and you lose a very loyal old-time user. Keep up with the competition while not fucking it up, and there's still enough momentum for me not to switch. I guess there's a lot of people like me in that regard.

Finally, Mozilla is not a startup with a core of energetic talented people, who can make miracles happen. It is a quite old non-profit organisation, entrenched with politics. Their biggest (only?) asset I know of is people, who know browser stuff. Well, maybe the brand, known for browser stuff. Do they have anything else at all?

So, yeah, anything is a bet, but I don't think I would bet on anything outside of Firefox. Not now, anyway. When everything is good financially and we have money to spare, well, looking for alternatives may be good. But when you are struggling for money and are about to lose everything you were keeping afloat for the last 20 years... As I said, Mozilla is not known for brilliant top-management, that has a crystal-clear vision and makes ingenious decisions that save the company when the business is struggling. The best thing I would expect them to be able to do is cutting costs, finding new sponsors and new ways to "slightly sell" Firefox without angering too many users. And even that they don't do very well.

The most radical thing I would reasonably expect them to pull of would be to switch all forces to mobile version of Firefox and win it, while loosing desktop version. But I doubt it.

[Also, in some parallel reality they could take advantage of political situation and sell Firefox OS to Huawei (or maybe get a sponsorship). But in this reality, Firefox OS is dead, Mozilla is too rigid to make wild moves like that, and Huawei is waaay more capable of building their own OS than Mozilla.]

I've always been a bit confused as to what the attack vector those protect against is for self-hosted packages (i.e. not torrents, third party hosting services, etc.). If the attacker is able to coerce the web server into sending a compromised package when you `GET https://dl.google.com/go/go1.15.src.tar.gz`, couldn't they just as easily send a compromised checksum when you `GET https://golang.org/dl/`?
Anyone know why https://go.dev still has a download link for "1.14.6", and there's no mention of it over at golang.org?

Apparently yes

But it's called a db
there was a time when you couldn't buy fractions of a share. Then it made sense to keep shares "lower" for smaller increments of share purchases. But now, most exchanges that I'm aware of allow fractional share purchases. Fractional share ownership may affect voting rights. I too would like to know "why" Tesla would opt for this... seems like they have more important things to do.
The USA can't even get enough needles to vaccinate everyone once, not to mention those who need needles for medicine.

JavaScript standard library was maybe bad in the past but nowadays they added a lot of features (yes, even left-pad).

Sure, if you know that you have to support old and broken browsers you have to use these dependencies to ensure correct support, but if you know that your code will run on a specific interpreter (for example a modern version of nodejs, or modern browsers) you don't have to worry about it too much.

Also most JavaScript programmers tends to abuse dependencies, I mean even for things that are really 10 lines of code that you write in 1 minute.

But the rest of the crap, the marketing, the rebranding, the Pocket purchase and integration, Firefox OS, the voice recognition and AI stuff (and notice the announcement, they're keeping the AI division, really need that part apparently), stuff that nobody remembers, that's all a waste of money that could be saved by the non-profit foundation to just support the low-level engine keeping the open web viable.

I have no reason to think that your assessment of what's "crap" is a good one, while the assessment of those who actually work at Mozilla is somehow worse.
> But after seeing several years of repeated strategic blunders and bad management

Not that I disagree, but it's probably easy being a captain from the outside.
Isn't pain the thing you feel and suffering what you do afterwards or something?

I.e. once I hit my toe I cannot avoid the pain but I don't necessarily need to go around suffering all day?

I.e. sometimes when I fry something hot oil hits my hands. The pain is immediate but I laugh at it instead of going around suffering under it.

Or am I mixing up some words? (English isn't my first language.)
Does anybody else share my sort of shell-shock WRT Tesla? I'm one of those who thinks its stock (and probably all the big tech names) are in a bubble. But whenever I say that I get shouted down, downvoted, told I'm an idiot, etc. I'm hoping this comment is vanilla enough to be safe... just curious if others have had the same experience.

To be clear: I'm not interested in debating the value of Tesla. I'm curious if others have the same emotional reaction at this point. That's it. If you think Tesla is worth $1T, good. Fine by me. I don't want to debate it or be told I'm a piece of garbage.
Facebook and other tech giants 'too big to fail'
To be fair, anything written against a actual 8086 can be brute-force software emulated in faster than real time at this point. It's no excuse, but it's less of a problem than it could be.
Yes. Me, either. :)
I had the opposite experience. All I needed was a way to do a simple GET. That's it (and that's all it still is, by the way). Instead of spending half an hour writing the code, I decided to use libcurl---that's what it's for, right?

Until I found it wasn't installed on some of our test machines (it was needed for testing, not for production and for reasons beyond my pay grade, libcurl was not available on the machines). Then I thought, well, I could include the libcurl into our vendor repo. It worked, but it was a nightmare to use. It took way too long to figure out the proper "configure" options to use for what systems, it nearly tripled the time to build it on the build servers, and even then, it was hit-or-miss.

After several years of this misery, I removed libcurl, and wrote what I should have years earlier. Using libcurl as a dependency did NOT save us any time.
I added the feed, clicked on a post, got stuck. From what I get, falling into it from the main combined feed has the same behavior.

Tell me, where in that blog post does he mention doing warm up cycles or avoiding having the JIT optimize away the method? (Hint, he doesn't mention that... so, no, he didn't actually miss his own advice.)

The article is completely consumed with getting the timing of benchmarking right. Which, to be fair, is a place where microbenchmarks often go wrong. It, however, isn't the ONLY place they go wrong.

The Internet is peer to peer by design, even if the most popular user-facing applications do not take full advantage of peer to peer architecture.
Post dot-com though, options (now mostly RSUs) are hardly funny money any longer. So bets that my company will go up a whole lot more than Google to the degree that it covers $100K/year comp difference are still bets.

It's fairly clear to me (who doesn't (and haven't applied to) work at a West Coast tech giant) that if you can get a job at such, you will make more money. That's just the way things are. Of course, there are reasons to work elsewhere, but making the most money is probably not one of them.

I'd say if they wanted to do a moon-shot-but-actually-achievable non-browser project against a slow, bloated, closed, locked-in, shitty product that everyone uses anyway (so, like IE back when they took that one), they'd target Google's office suite. As a bonus it could give them the revenue they want, through paid business hosting with official support or something like that.

Being an as-good-as-the-competition web browser that's not the default on any major OS (yeah I use it, but the Linux desktop ain't major) and doesn't have something like Google's reach for massive promotion (like they did with Chrome) is gonna kill them as a viable product with broad appeal, at this rate. They need to find a way to make that so much better than the competition that people bother to install it (on others' computers, too, like how they got their start), and I'm not sure how they can do that, or they need to pick another crappy but super-popular web-related product and go for the throat.

[EDIT] for that matter, web chat/conferencing, and social. IMO the browser's a dead-end for them except as a supporting product, but they keep focusing on utterly dull, niche, or already well-served products. IE sucked, but everyone needed a browser. Firefox crushed it by thoroughly and entirely not sucking. Pick something else that sucks and do the same. Not... bookmarking or whatever Pocket does.
You can also apply YAGNI to 'do we need our own custom parser'?

You don't know what your requirements are. The customers haven't told you yet.

If you pick a library with a straightforward interface, especially one that isn't too opinionated, you can always drop in a custom implementation later on. Frameworks, not so much (but that cuts both ways; the people who will write libraries often love writing frameworks too)
That's a reverse split. Take the price ie from 10 cents to $1 by doing a 1 for 10 reverse split.

I forgot my wallet (actually I'd packed it in my bag) and got through security in SFO without issue.

How to Overcome Analysis Paralysis
Can get close to those numbers

Senior devs don't get those numbers on average in the bay either. Facebook/Google are the top (NFLX too but they only hire senior engineers) and few other companies close behind like amazon, apple and some fintech. I'm saying you can get those numbers because I myself am making 5% below those numbers (245k for mid level) in Chicago for what levels.fyi is showing what FB is paying for their engineers.

There are weird incentives for this.

In US the tick size for any stock is always $0.01. So a stock with a price of say $1 has a minimum bid ask spread of 1%, which is a lot.

On the contrary, if one share is too expensive, it limits liquidity in a stock. This is usually bad, though Berkshire Hathaway voting shares are deliberately kept expensive to stave off speculators.

This then get meta-player. A split suggests the company expects a price increase, and vice versa (reverse splits area thing too).

When you install TST, it shows a message explaining to you how to get rid of the tab bar. It's also in their documentation: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/wiki/Code-snippets-fo...

Since the doc is not super clear on this, the userChrome.css needs to go in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userChroms.css (you might have to create the "chrome" directory).

It's not a super-nice process, but as someone who occasionally does tech support, I understand why they don't offer an API anymore that misbehaving addons could use to utterly destroy the browser UI.
You have to standardize on some common granularity for strikes/expiration dates so that each symbol has sufficient volume so that the market would not get too sparse. The theory does not require it, but when you are building an exchange, I suppose that'd be of a practical concern to you. You want interchangeability in derivative contracts and don't want each individual contract to be a snowflake.

There are "mini" options that control 10 shares, for example, but they usually have higher bid-ask spread reflecting the higher cost of pricing accurately/transaction fee/lower liquidity.

Kind of sounds like you do want to debate it. I have no idea if it is or is it a it overvalued but plenty of people do share you view, and they lost a lot of money betting against Musk.

The good or service you get in a purchase is not always the whole reason for the purchase. For the same reason you might buy somethingat a fund-raiser for more than you would at other times, Google may be supplying get good terms on their deal with Mozilla.

Firefox hurting Google has nothing to do with the reasoning I supplied previously. In fact, Firefox not hurting Google is all the more reason to make sure they get funded and survive if it lets Google avoid or deflect government scrutiny.

As someone who may be tinkering with a game this decade, one big factor which favors “use prebuilt engine” in my thinking is that some of them abstract away the work required to port between different systems. Is this really a very big hurdle in your opinion? And do you see console ports being part of this engine in the future?

The API looks great in any case, and I’ll try it out, at least as a starting point to get back into Rust and ECS. Nice work!

Crash safety. If Chrome crashes, you get one single, short lived pop up to restore your tabs. If you miss it or can't click it for some reason, though luck.

Firefox, on the other hand, will simply always reopen your tabs and prompt you, in case the crash was its fault. In fact, losing ~50 open tabs in Chrome was what made me switch.

Well you can set standards, if you're the picky type you can then say how you want things done.

I am often less picky than other people, but I find that the picky types often want things that I feel are less than optimal.

So getting offered tech lead coming into a place can be seen as a good defensive choice if you are coming from a place where you feel like you've been suffering because you didn't have the control.
