A comment on Offline Algorithms in Low-Frequency Trading. Parent comment

Genuine question, does this strike others as immensely off-topic? I'm curious if the parent commenter even opened the link. I'm sure there are applications of generalized knapsack problems (or dynamic programming generally) in options trading, but this isn't it.

This always happens. Post about X. Somebody replies with, "look at my Y". Usually off topic and trying to take advantage of the posts visibility.

Are you a tourist on hacker news? This is almost the defining trait of a HN post.

I honestly don't mind "look at this cool related thing I built" comments, especially if it's free and open source and something I can learn from.

If you check their profile you can see they created their account 4 months ago, so they are likely to be new here. No need to be disagreeable to make your point.
