<p>Not really.<p>You could create several cohort with different co-controlled fixes for each: more calories, more protein, more fiber, more nutrients.<p>Then evaluate the percentage of successfully treated patients in each cohort.<p>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</p>

<p>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"</p>

<p>Most of these wouldn't qualify as "puzzles", would they?<p>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</p>

<p>Additionally I am bothered by the insistence of these outlets to forego connecting the brain and the mind, as well as hormones and feelings.<p>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?<p>It's like they pretend the brain is just some other organ, like our liver or kneecap, and not the irreducable self.<p>Maybe that's relatable too</p>

<p>Also no review or planning anywhere in that process.<p>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.<p>Call me naive, but I don't think Juniors are as oblivious as they are made out to be</p>
