Not really.

You could create several cohort with different co-controlled fixes for each: more calories, more protein, more fiber, more nutrients.

Then evaluate the percentage of successfully treated patients in each cohort.

It's of course a difficult study, since someone with a bad diet will lack practically everything, so more things will work than not. I'd also be curious to see how you would design a real food diet high in micronutrients without accidentally adding a bunch of fiber in the process

Imo DS/Algs to an extent are a good prerequisite. Once you know them in one language that knowledge is portable enough to get you up-to-speed in $lang. Then, and no earlier will I start worrying about doing real things in my programs and the "idiosyncracies"

Most of these wouldn't qualify as "puzzles", would they?

I find it nice to learn new languages via data structure puzzles, because to me the data structures of a language feel like the grammar and once I have that down everything else falls into place

Additionally I am bothered by the insistence of these outlets to forego connecting the brain and the mind, as well as hormones and feelings.

Like cortisol and dopamine or whatever are just chemical representations of feelings, are they not? And large areas of the brain are just a physical representation of the mind, right?

It's like they pretend the brain is just some other organ, like our liver or kneecap, and not the irreducable self.

Maybe that's relatable too

I should add this works best if you hire with some diversity, such as one Junior with a preference for security topics.

If you go up to the counter and yell "10 React devs please", don't be surprised

Also no review or planning anywhere in that process.

I'm semi-confident that if a Junior were to talk to another Junior before starting about things to look out for, and then the code was reviewed by say a third Junior, they would not have this bug.

Call me naive, but I don't think Juniors are as oblivious as they are made out to be

It's about the same level of solved as moon landings and supersonic flight...

If we could now find out how to do security in an economical, non-annoying way, that would be great

This is a bit of a stretch, but I'm willing to entertain the idea if you could toss me a link or two to more in-depth write ups on the topic

Reclaim the Stack 2 years ago

simple bash scripts for bootstrapping/monitoring/scaling

Damn, that's the dream right there

But I hope it doesn't end up like a hairball a few releases down from increase of pace or something.

Rich Hickey and the rest of the Clojure Team are very careful designers. I wouldn't worry too much

I'll second this. Many people are happily complacent with mainstream languages. A minority ventures out in $lang of the day for the fun of it, with functional languages being an even smaller minority.

At a minimum, build some strong clojure skills first, such that when you introduce it to anyone else, you can do so with confidence

Then stay away from it if you can. GTD is great if you're a manager with a wive and kids and maybe a foundation to run on the side.

If you don't usually forget tasks/events or freeze up because of analysis paralysis, you can get by just fine without it.

GTD definitely brings an overhead that doesn't pay off in a reasonably simple life

Because he founded ycombinator, he should be allowed at least a little more leniency.

Of course if he goes around directly and explicitly bashing all sorts of minorities or doxxes some other users or commits any other actual big nono, sure remove him.

This is not what happened. GvR was impolite at worst, and impolite your founder shall be allowed to be
