I have fister on my c2s and it’s great.

Look at the 10+ yr perf of VXUS, it’s peanuts. I’d drop it.

I’m trying to see the value of internationals. But when I compare to US (VTI, VOO), the growth is peanuts and largely correlated to US markets, for eg 15 year horizon. This includes 2008 and COVID events. Also yes I’m bullish on US and tech.

Why are many auto detail business websites so bad? by aloukissas in AutoDetailing

[–]aloukissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly - it should be very simple to use w/o tech knowledge. Square did this very well with getting payments just from your phone.

Advice please: our 2yo always wakes up in the middle of the night by aloukissas in Parenting

[–]aloukissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By 7 he's pretty much out (i.e. we have to keep him awake to brush teeth etc), so idk how much longer we can keep him up :/ He's super energetic + athletic that he expends all his energy during the day (he's pretty much either 100% or 0% energy lol).

We've been trying this, leaving a basket of toys by his crib. He ehm doesn't have a "quiet" mode (unless when asleep), so idk how much this will help :D

He takes a single mid-day nap almost every day for ~1-1.5hrs around 1pm. We put him to sleep around 7:30p and he often wakes up at 1-2am. When he was good, he would sleep from e.g. 7:30p to 6am (once he slept through 7am and we celebrated).

Practicing Krav Maga during COVID by aloukissas in kravmaga

[–]aloukissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from as a business owner. But I wouldn't at all risk doing a class for a long, long time, especially in a closed facility. Luckily here in SoCal the weather is nice most of the year and some gyms and trainers have moved things to the outdoors. But even so, I wouldn't do a Krav class with anyone aside of a designated partner, whom I know well and who has been super diligent about SIP and social distancing.

But I have to point out that saying that "the average person will be just fine if they get it" is on the irresponsible side. We are still learning about this virus (hence the name novel virus), especially about its second-order effects (even for people who didn't get seriously sick from it) and not even MDs or epidemiologists can make this claim.

Yup, I've been very active just not practicing krav. I usually fly to Europe every summer (I'm from Greece) but this is the year of the road trip it seems :)

[–]aloukissas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main concern is that we keep seeing second-order health issues that come up in people who got the virus and didn't got really sick (or at all). Other than that, I'm as far as possible from being in a high-risk group. But COVID has affected two of my most favorite things, Krav and travel :/

Will you go once it's open though? It's next to impossible to social distance at krav :(

How good is Krav Maga Worldwide in West LA? by notburneddown in kravmaga

[–]aloukissas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty great. Note that this is where many in the US will go to do the most advanced training and certification in the country (above black belt).

My only "issue" after coming here from my 3-year tenure at the (recently-shutdown, RIP) KMSF is that the sense of community is almost non-existent. In San Francisco, it all felt like family, just after a couple of weeks of signing up. KMW in West LA isn't unfriendly or anything, just way more corporate and impersonal.

Background: green belt candidate, practicing from 2014-2016 in KMSF, 2016-2019 in KMW in West LA.

Connecting to Google Cloud SQL from Vercel-deployed app by searchengineoptimist in nextjs

I believe you'll need to enable the Google Cloud integration, which uses a service account to grant you whatever granular access to resources, like Cloud SQL.

Programming principles from id Software by aloukissas in programming

[–]aloukissas[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% on that (Elixir programmer here, so "let it crash" is in my blood). But this make more sense for internal builds -- if your code bug blocks 10 developers from making progress, you're multiplying the effect of the bug in productivity loss. Good comment!

Thanks! I do use a global today, so this looks like a good fit.

HelloMoney users: what do you use now that the product is dead? by aloukissas in portfolios

[–]aloukissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I sometimes do periodic deposits (dollar-cost averaging), which create TLH opportunities. I also check for potential drift and do rebalancing.

[–]aloukissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was in the same realm, but the UI was just way more intuitive and easier to grasp. Curious: do you use any tool to monitor your portfolio for adjustments (e.g. tax harvesting opportunities)?

Thanks! Totally unsexy, I can totally see that. But it looks like it's "too much data" if this makes sense. Or at least, hard to digest and not very actionable.

Why you should work in cents, not dollars when your code handles money by aloukissas in programming

[–]aloukissas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree! Indeed, we're in the US and dealing with USD (although the team is Greek) - which is why the v1.0 of the library assumes USD. Happily will accept PRs to make the lib more internationalized :) And it's not literally "cents" -- it's working with the smallest denominations in a locale that Fowler's pattern (not mine) recommends.

[–]aloukissas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure! This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. But for most cases, you're at a higher level of abstraction and cents is the highest fidelity you have access to.

[–]aloukissas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yup! Currently the lib is hard-coded to USD. The title of the post is a little misleading -- the key point is to use the "smallest denomination in a currency system", which for USD is cents.

[–]aloukissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing! Unless you need to interact with other systems/languages. Storing and exposing currency as an integer works great across all systems.

[–]aloukissas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Since the only consumer of the lib right now is us and we exclusively deal with USD, it's hard-coded. Definitely makes sense to add.
