vertline3··on Freshly Squeezed: The Truth About Orange Juice in Boxes
I Just look at total g of sugar and total calories.
vertline3··on Reflecting on My Failure to Build a Billion-Dollar Company
Cool! Ive bought multiple video lessons from Gumroad before! Nice to hear from you :)
vertline3··on China hacked Norway's Visma to steal client secrets
I thought your own post was the red herring.

"Thankfully, the biggest threat to the individual is a sprinkling of privacy invasion and the odd blackmail."

They have prison camps for political dissidents.

vertline3··on Tarrare
Seems he had trouble absorbing calories from what he ate somehow.
vertline3··on McClatchy Follows BuzzFeed, Vice, and Others in Cutting Staff
I'm glad that you are thinking about it. I don't know if there are any easy solutions.
vertline3··on McClatchy Follows BuzzFeed, Vice, and Others in Cutting Staff
I think it may not, because we live in the "attention economy" for media. I think it would take something to reverse this somehow, because it incentivizes "hot takes".
vertline3··on Table-Saw Kickback on Camera (2012) [video]
That warning at the end, to always read and follow the directions of your tools, will be burned in my mind now. I bet this video will prevent some bad injuries.
vertline3··on Most Published Research Findings Are False (2005)
I think just your first post is a snappy reply to the headline, but doesn't seem to address the content of the paper in any way, so I was interested in your specific thoughts about the content of the paper.
vertline3··on Most Published Research Findings Are False (2005)
Can you elaborate as to why? Snark is not really the goal here.
vertline3··on Future JavaScript: what is still missing?
I like JS, I like the new features since es5, although I liked es5 also, I notice that the updates are now yearly it seems, which is mostly good since there was maybe a long delay in the past, but can be bad if there become too many features.
vertline3··on What Does Any of This Have to Do with Physics? (2016)
Wow "the hardest part is controlling your emotions."

"You didn't fail Bob, you quit."

Was physics just as streesful for him as it was for me?

There is a lot of food for thought.

vertline3··on “I just started writing some Rust”
As soon as I saw it was just a quote, I had this gut instinct it would be Carmack speaking. The reason is because when DirectX was really marketing hard, Carmack did some work in OpenGL and stood up for it. It was kind of important to me since it was open.
vertline3··on Bill Gates promises to add his own billions if Congress does nuclear power push
Thanks! I will look it up
vertline3··on Bill Gates promises to add his own billions if Congress does nuclear power push
Oh okay I thought Terra power was working on this magnetic tape thing

It's called ybco tape

vertline3··on Bill Gates promises to add his own billions if Congress does nuclear power push
Wow! I hope his fusion push works out. I think he was working with that tokamak design from MIT last I checked. The design used a magnetic tape that was a new breakthrough, there is a youtube video explaining the details.
vertline3··on The steam has gone out of globalisation
Well, to be honest, I only could see part of the story and then it asked for me to subscribe. But anyway, I don't have anything else to add.
vertline3··on Étude, Brute? The case for Chopin
He was painted by Delacroix as well, and he was kind of an important painter. So it means he was likely somewhat esteemed.
vertline3··on Why Are Young People Pretending to Love Work?
I doubt they are the "greatest minds of his generation" that probably goes to someone like Terry Tao
vertline3··on Humaaans: Mix-and-match illustrations of people with a design library
I think you make a good point, and I think the idea was different body sizes may not be represented.

Also I assumed the gender of the original comment, could be a she, if so, I apologize. I use he in a generic way, but seeing your post you used they.

vertline3··on Humaaans: Mix-and-match illustrations of people with a design library
Similar idea, fonts and design are hand in hand.
vertline3··on Humaaans: Mix-and-match illustrations of people with a design library
It's often said that one should not skew fonts.

But that's beside the point, I was only explaining what I think he was saying.

vertline3··on Humaaans: Mix-and-match illustrations of people with a design library
I like that you said fast food illustration. That flatness is becoming draining. I assume it's a product of the tool Illustrator, which is very shape based.
vertline3··on Humaaans: Mix-and-match illustrations of people with a design library
He's saying someone who is very overweight, I assume. I felt he was saying it in a diplomatic fashion?
vertline3··on Why media layoffs keep happening
Well I think slanted news becomes easier as economic models get leaner. Broke? sell to a person wanting to hide behind earned past reputation. Furthermore, outrage is the most addicting emotion (according to post on HN apologizing for creating the internet) so news that draws a person in, tends to outrage.

being reasonable, means some audience will leave to go to the more addicting outrage.

This is my hypothesis only.

vertline3··on AlphaStar: Mastering the Real-Time Strategy Game StarCraft II
Well I have heard of them, also looked up TLO mentioned above, he actually did get RSI and had to take months off.

"Liquid regretfully announces that Dario “TLO” Wünsch will be unable to play for the next few months due to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome he experiences in both hands. He will however continue to be involved with E-Sports even as he takes a break from gaming to give his wrists time to heal. Sadly, this means that he will not be attending Dreamhack Summer or the Homestory Cup III as a player."

vertline3··on AlphaStar: Mastering the Real-Time Strategy Game StarCraft II
Such high actions per minute does not seem fun to me, and possibly a repetitive strain injury waiting to happen.
vertline3··on Particle physics may have reached the end of the line
Before we throw huge money, we have to make sure we are really using it the best way. These ever larger colliders are big investments. The Higgs was an obvious hole missing in the puzzle, let's find another obvious hole in the puzzle.
vertline3··on Myth of Capitalism: Monopolies and the Death of Competition
Trust-busting was a thing in the past, Teddy Roosevelt was known as the trust-buster, and ran against Taft with the Bull Moose party, splitting the R vote. Taft actually was more prolific with trust-busting than Teddy, it may be his biggest presidential legacy.

Gary Kasparov pointed this Taft fact out as well, so people are thinking about the need to break up monops.

I sort of worry with a global system, you break up a local monopoly, will a foreign monopoly take over the vacuum?

vertline3··on Front End Development Topics to Learn in 2019
This peacing out is sort of exactly what I've been considering. Focusing more on algorithms or big picture things. Thanks for your perspective.
