What kind of profits are you seeing with it?


No actual profits yet, I've just been back-testing as well as forward-testing various strategies. It looks like writing the trading engine was the easy part.


How much were they offering?


They're not really targeting particular extension. Most people probably don't want to sell anyway so they would just waste time. They send email to everyone who have extension and then when any developer replies, only then they decide if they even want to buy. I have extension with 50k installs in last 5 years that has always on full access to visited pages (content script) and they offered $2k.


$2k seems abysmally low to throw away your labor of love and compromise your morals. At least in the US


you're making some assumptions that every dev has morals, and that some unscrupulous dev didn't build the thing specifically in hopes of getting this offer


Sure, that's possible, and from a cynical perspective seems likely to have happened. But if I was unscrupulous, there seems to be a lot easier paths to money than making a product, offering it for free, and hoping someone will offer to buy it from you to corrupt it.


Sure, but this method doesn’t come with risk of criminal charges. This is all legit shady.


For what line of business? Were there multiple smaller sales totaling 1m$ or multiple 1m$ sales?


This is great, but why does Omega 3 paradoxically reduce expression of dopamine receptors and dopamine release


The dopamine hypothesis is being heavily debated and revisited these days. Might be worth checking any assumptions against current research.


Because it makes the dopamine more effective.


Could you expound on #4 some more?

Would you recommend a specific branch of math?(discrete, linear algebra, etc.)

Also, which math or general skills/fundamentals would you say has helped you the most when implementing compilers?


I'm curious as to which projects you use it in.

Do you use it in Pushbullet?


> Many languages will have counted a 1gb file before Clojure has even started up.

You mean before the JVM has started up. One could compile Clojure with GraalVM to eliminate startup time.


Not really, the initialization of the JVM is fast(er), but initializing the Clojure runtime took a lot of time. At least in 1.7, not sure if it got better in the meantime.

I could start and run Java programs way faster than just starting the Clojure REPL.
