yroc92··on ByteDance investors value TikTok at $50B in takeover bid
It’s very popular amongst younger people.
yroc92··on How Mormons built a startup ecosystem in Utah
Having spent 10 years there, I can say this is true. There’s not much innovation, just solid business execution and sales, sales, sales. The proliferation of ambitious former missionaries is a driving factor for this cultural element.
yroc92··on Airbnb’s loss nearly doubles in fourth quarter, before virus
Why so hostile? The community is not who is using this guy’s Airbnb units.
yroc92··on Tailwind UI
I’m with you there. It looks nice, but I don’t want to learn all that css.
yroc92··on Mini projects built with VanillaJS. No frameworks or libraries
I don’t feel like vanilla js is ever a breath of fresh air.
yroc92··on Thank HN: My SaaS paid my rent this month
Any chance we could check it out?
yroc92··on Announcing Updated Postman Plans and Pricing
I find it much more usable as well.
yroc92··on How I made a website with Svelte
In my experience, there’s seldom such thing as a “super simple web site”. I always run into situations where some dynamic functionality is required and vanilla JavaScript gets messy very quickly. Svelte is so compact and easy that it is the ideal tool for such scenarios.
yroc92··on Caddy Proposal: Permanently change all proprietary licensing to open source
Yes this is pretty much how it is. Ardan is a great company.
yroc92··on WeWork’s Adam Neumann Steps Down as CEO
Are employees even able to sell on IPO day?
yroc92··on Bring Back the SE
It is a common misconception that Apple is obsessed with thinness when it comes to iPhones. Since the iPhone 6, each iteration has been thicker:

yroc92··on Netflix Has 175 Days Left to Pull Off a Miracle
They own fox now as well.
yroc92··on Caddy 1.0, Caddy 2, and Caddy Enterprise
What are your reservations with such a model? Just curious.
yroc92··on Looking for a new CEO
I’ve been a member of stack overflow and programming professionally for over 4 years and still can’t upvote, comment on or answer questions.
yroc92··on Zoom S-1
I will say slack has gotten better. At one point it was unusable.
yroc92··on Append-only backups with restic and rclone
What kind of solution to this problem would you propose?
yroc92··on Launch HN: DevFlight (YC W19) – Helping open-source maintainers make money
You can build your own binaries for commercial use. Caddy's code is under the Apache 2.0 license.
yroc92··on Hard Part of Computer Science? Getting into Class
Why? Why does this have to be the way that college works? Seems highly ineffective.
yroc92··on Zillow CEO: startups trying to disrupt real estate commissions will fail (2012)
Homie is a VC backed startup replacing real estate agents in Utah and Arizona and they seem to be doing very well. Massive adoption over the last year. I feel pretty confident that agents will eventually be a thing of the past.
yroc92··on Ask HN: What was your “why didn't I start doing this sooner” moment?
Working from home for myself on my own projects and freelancing.
yroc92··on Evan Spiegel’s Imperious Style Made Snapchat a Success Until Users Fled
> Really wonder if articles like these are produced by people shorting the stock.

Everything is about money, so I always assume that to be the case for all these kinds of articles. Regardless, I’m pretty sure snap will be gone in a couple years. No way they can stand up to Facebook imo.

yroc92··on Electron 4.0.0
Yeah not electron, but chromium, etc. I figured it’s a similar end result.
yroc92··on Electron 4.0.0
Slack, Spotify, VS Code, Insomnia and many other apps use it. They use excessive amounts of resources for what they are, but really any modern machine shouldn’t have a problem with it.
yroc92··on Global, U.S. Growth in Smartphone Growth Starts to Decline
At least on Apple's part, their phones have been getting thicker since the iPhone 6 and I'd say battery life is improving with each generation, especially when you consider the growth in activity occuring on the device since that generation.
yroc92··on Go 2, here we come
I believe they’re saying that vendor support is a good thing in Golang.
yroc92··on Tell HN: Sendgrid increases price by almost 50%, weeks after acquisition
I’d like to know as well. If you’re getting 20x ad spend, you’ve hit the jackpot.
yroc92··on Ask HN: Is Google failing at UI/UX/design simplicity in its products?
Try using spotlight search on iOS. Every single time I search for an app, without fail, I click on a web link that suddenly appeared in place.
yroc92··on Palantir has a $20B valuation and a big problem: It keeps losing money
They're still under $800M in revenue and only growing 25% this year? $20B definitely seems too high of a valuation.
yroc92··on Show HN: Relica – Cross-platform local, remote, and multi-cloud file backups
Update: We added a newsletter signup form on the bottom of the home page!
yroc92··on Show HN: Relica – Cross-platform local, remote, and multi-cloud file backups
rclone and Restic are both used in Relica. They're both amazing projects and we've been working with their communities to improve them!
