yojex··on Show HN: Angeldust – a fast and efficient video game
I don't know if "drug name etymologist" is an official profession or your hobby, but if it's the former I would suggest you seriously reconsider and re-research your conclusion on this term! Just a friendly suggestion :-)
yojex··on The Past, Present and Future of Competitive Magic The Gathering
In my experience, it's probably during lunch.
yojex··on The Fasting Cure Is No Fad
By the way, the phrase "if he can think, if he can wait, if he can fast" comes from the book Siddartha by Hermann Hesse[0] which is (roughly) about Buddhist philosophy.

yojex··on The Fasting Cure Is No Fad
Can you explain what autophagy is and specifically why "cleansing and restoring" are incorrect layman terms to use? I'm curious.
yojex··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2019)
FYI you have a typo in your email address at the end. Also is remote even remotely an option at Boatsetter?
yojex··on Devilution – A web port of the original Diablo game
Or possibly, he knows his taste very well and is extremely selective. Some people may only be willing to invest serious time into games that fit their tastes close-to-perfectly.
yojex··on Why Has Language Changed So Much So Fast? ‘Because Internet’
I included it in my reply to see what you thought of it :)

I hadn't considered it in the context of disagreement; I think I can see how that could rub people the wrong way.

yojex··on Why Has Language Changed So Much So Fast? ‘Because Internet’
So this might seem weird, but there are many people who do not at all feel that way. I can't even begin to imagine what feels condescending about someone using "so" as a filler word.

For people with a bit of social anxiety, it can serve as an easy and comfortable lead-in to share a thought when they can't think of a better way.

yojex··on Ask HN: What’s Your Net Worth?
Got you beat by 2 years and $100 cash
yojex··on How to increase your chances of finding a hidden camera
And, likewise, made no less urgent because a man doesn't have it.
yojex··on The poetry and brief life of a Foxconn worker
That's certainly true (and I hadn't noticed the website is communist, that's funny). I think we can agree that both capitalist and communist countries have blood on their hands here. Also worth pointing out that Foxconn is in a Free-trade Zone which tend to play by their own (lack of) rules.
yojex··on The poetry and brief life of a Foxconn worker
Although discussing this distinction is off-topic (I didn't downvote you), I'd like to point out that the demand for places like Foxconn comes from capitalist businesses in capitalist countries (one in particular).
yojex··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2018)
The open positions section of the page appears to be empty.
yojex··on Why Socialists Don't Believe in Fun (1943)
I just want to mention here for those who haven't heard of it: Huxley's "Island" explores the complement to the ideas presented in "Brave New World", i.e. it is an imagining of utopia. I highly recommend it.
yojex··on I’m a very slow thinker (2016)
Mindfulness meditation is one way.
yojex··on Spotify hits 83M paying subscribers, more than double Apple Music’s 40M
You can actually get the desktop client connected to your Chromecast in a roundabout way. What I do is connect to my Chromecast from the Spotify app on my iPhone, and then the option will appear in the desktop client to connect. I have no idea why you have to channel through the phone first, but it works perfectly from desktop to Chromecast once it's connected.
yojex··on Readme-Driven Development (2010)
This is what Ruby/Cucumber tests use to define scenarios. It's called Gherkin.
yojex··on Three Common Misconceptions About China
I believe what AnimalMuppet is trying to say is that it raises concern when you think about the motivation behind removing limits for the current incumbent, vs a situation where there were never limits in the first place.

Even if you think it's not cause for concern, you have to admit it's at least a different situation with different parameters.

yojex··on Facebook photo-scanning lawsuit could cost it billions
Does anybody know if this affects the iPhone's Face ID in any way?
yojex··on Things I Learned from a Job Hunt for a Senior Engineering Role
I'm really glad that you and the parent posted these comments. As someone with pretty bad anxiety, this kind of thing prevents me from even going for interviews. And, unfortunately, after browsing this thread it seems that this possibility isn't even on most peoples' minds.

FizzBuzz-style filters not only don't prove that someone can code, they don't disprove it either. I'm not sure what the answer is.

yojex··on NHL stunner: A 36-year-old accountant who has never played pro stars in win
OT: The title could use a couple commas to improve readability

NHL stunner: A 36-year-old accountant, who has never played pro, stars in win

yojex··on Facebook Goes on a Hiring Spree for Washington Lobbyists
I'm not so sure that /s is necessary here.
yojex··on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the State Machine
Honest question: does anyone have a clean solution to this problem? I've run into this often and always end up hacking something ugly to make it work.
yojex··on Show HN: HNBuddy – A fast and elegant HN client for iOS
As a native speaker, I believe I see "synced" more, but "synched" is still understandable.
yojex··on Fuze for Nintendo Switch: An easy-to-learn text-based programming language
Check out https://yuzu-emu.org/

They're still in the early stages, but it's promising considering it's from the same team that made the successful Citra 3DS emulator. I know it's not technically "developing on the Switch", but it might give some insight.

yojex··on Google Memory Loss
Not necessarily, he didn't say "if and only if"
yojex··on Teens Aren’t Partying Anymore
I consider myself a skeptic in the sense that I won't believe that any part of my personality is _permanent_ unless proven irrefutably.
yojex··on Stimulus: A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have
I believe this section attempts to answer that question:

yojex··on Introducing the new Snapchat
Snapchat takes beautiful photos on iOS. Some people I know even prefer to use it to the native camera. I wonder why this is different for Android? Does anyone have an insight here?
yojex··on A Test of Police Body Cameras Defies Expectations
If an agent of the state commits a "horrific, abhorrent affront" against you, you want it to be kept secret? That's what I'm reading here.
