bofaGuy··on Don’t build a general purpose API to power your own front end (2021)
This is how you lock yourself into a single front end design. And when you get ready for the next generation of your app or site, now you’re locked in and changing that front end design becomes exponentially harder.
bofaGuy··on Every phone should be able to run personal websites
You can run a flask web server from your iPhone using Pythonista and StaSh. I’m not sure about port 80 though.

bofaGuy··on Ask HN: Is anyone using PyPy for real work?
Correct. I think DD only supports CPython.
bofaGuy··on Ask HN: Is anyone using PyPy for real work?
My biggest issue is that DataDog doesn’t support PyPy. Out of curiosity, I made a new branch of our app and took out DataDog and observed a significant improvement in performance when using PyPy vs CPython on the same branch (but can’t remember how much).
bofaGuy··on Only one pair of distinct positive integers satisfy the equation m^n = n^m
Let m = n. For m^n = n^m. There are infinite solutions. Am I missing something?

Edit: “Distinct”

bofaGuy··on There's something off about LED bulbs
LEDs also cause interference with WiFi and other radio signals. Found out after putting a LED bulb in my smart garage door opener.. which immediately went offline.
bofaGuy··on Ask HN: Do you find working on large distributed systems exhausting?
Utils*
bofaGuy··on Ask HN: Do you find working on large distributed systems exhausting?
Worked on a team at BofA, our application would handle 800 million events per day. The logic we had for retry and failure was solid. We also had redundancy across multiple DCs. I think we processed like 99.9999999% of all events successfully. (Basically all of them, last year we lost about 2,000 events total) I didn’t find it very stressful at all. We build in JMX Utica for our production support teams be able to handle practically anything they would need to.
