The trading price you see on the screen is - shortly afterwards the shares become publicly tradable on the exchange (or on all US equities exchanges, for US stocks). So in effect, the price shooting up on the public markets is actually bad for the company in that they might have left money on the table.

People forget Kerr was a bad GM

On x86 you would use a packed struct that matches the wire protocol.

Wouldn’t this require extra copying if member reads were forced to be aligned?

To simplify, It’s saying, if the genome were a string of some length, for any possible byte b and byte position i, there exists a person whose genome has b at position i. Unlike normal character strings, there are only 20 or so valid characters (proteins) encoded by 3 “bytes” (nucleotides) each. So you’re looking at O(10 billion) values of (i, b) that would still keep the string well-formed in its 3-bytes-per-character encoding.

Most importantly, it’s not saying anything about having some bytes b1 and b2 at the ith and jth positions or any generalization thereof.

That’s a little too harsh. You can certainly make it do that via a combination of git tags (to build from source) and CMake modules/Find*, but yes, it’s much more cumbersome than cargo/npm/go

Just one nitpick:

> decent amount of stuff that has to be done in main before you run _start

should read

> decent amount of stuff that has to be done in _start before you run main

Analogously, cleanup code like running global destructors usually happens in _start/CRT after main returns, but I skipped that in the post for the sake of brevity.
