I would like to know how they find it in comparison to a framework like react
piyiotisk··on Show HN: Ten years of running every day, visualized
I am interested in your experience with nextjs vs vanillajs, html etc. the site seems simple enough that it could be done using just html etc. I have this dilemma, using vanillajs vs react. If you can share your thought process it would be awesome. Thanks and congrats on the 10 years of running!

Yeah in London, I was sitting next to Tony Fadell. I couldn’t believe it!

I didn’t know about this show. Thanks for the recommendation I’ll check it out.

Is it based on a true story?

piyiotisk··on Joining Apple Computer (2018)

piyiotisk··on Self-Hosting Dozens of Web Applications and Services on a Single Server
I have a similar setup and wrote how to setup everything here

https://costapiy.com/deploy_django_project_linux_server/ and here https://github.com/costapiy/server_setup

piyiotisk··on Ask HN: Solo-preneurs, how do you DevOps to save time?
I've used this in the past https://github.com/piyiotisk/fieldbot-server/blob/master/.gi...

Basically, building a docker image and server it using Docker compose. Of course you'll need NGINx as a reverse proxy running on the server.

If I do it again I'll use a service like render. Not worth managing this myself.

piyiotisk··on Reflecting on Four Years at Databricks
We've used databricks in my previous company (Skyscanner). The product worked well and in general better than having our own cluster. Our dev enablement team have build tooling around creating new DAGs and spinning up a new project was relatively easy.

Personally, I found the experience much better that what the company used before which was custom Spark clusters.

piyiotisk··on Ask HN: How to beat S&P 500 algorithmically?
Yes exactly that. Even if you backtest for many years it’s still possible that you’ll lose money because future although correlated to the past can always have different patterns.

Still it’s a really fascinating field to explore.

piyiotisk··on Ask HN: How to beat S&P 500 algorithmically?
Thanks for the reply. Seeing an algorithm trade 1000 times per day seems cool but I’ve realised is not a sustainable strategy even if you find something profitable since the costs of doing that many trades will make it unprofitable.

I am basically learning algorithmic trading. I know it’s really hard and if someone finds something profitable they probably wouldn’t share it but it’s very motivational if you find something that beats the market even by a small margin.

piyiotisk··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
https://keebord.io a website to show cool mechanical keyboards. Submit your builds if you want!
piyiotisk··on Ask HN: Is Docker fixed on the new M1 Macs?
Great thanks.
piyiotisk··on How to achieve 218.1% better performance when replacing strings in JavaScript
Maybe that’s what some people use. For example deepcloning objects in JS is faster with json.parse(json.stringify())
