Also, looking for a relationship specifically to solve a habit problem is not a good idea. People in relationships can do a lot to support their partners habit changes, but it is unhealthy to try to take responsibility for someone else's habits. It is likewise unhealthy to expect someone else to take that responsibility.

In the context of confirmation bias being an evolved trait, my comment was meant to imply that we should expect science to spend much more resources than mere intuition, but doing so is still worthwhile.

Any scientist will be subject to cognitive bias at some level (if only by choosing the core principles and axioms on which their reasoning is based), but there are systematic ways to mitigate it. Applying more resources to a particular problem will get rid of at least the superficial levels of cognitive bias.

Bog-standard meaning not testable and not contract-based?

Clever solutions and abstractions (hey, immutability is clever right?) can really help out reasoning.

And sometimes you really need clever things due to problem domain, so you really end up with totally not boring code.

For example, you wouldn't cook up your own matrix manipulation everywhere, so you use a clever solution instead. Writing operations directly opposed to composing and optimizing them.

Or in high performance world, using a much more complex but lock-free algorithm instead of the "bog-standard" locked one, sometimes the benefit is huge.

The real important part is to exactly document the clever parts and enforce contracts on them, so you do not end up with potpourri everywhere.

If you have proper functional tests, you can replace wrong abstractions at a cost.

The real issue is code abstracted bottom-up instead of proper design. Such abstractions end up being special cases and become annoying and worthless if requirements (incl. internal ones) change.

While sometimes you can design yourself into a bad end (typically by not taking a really critical requirement into consideration), this is not what often happens.
Imagine you're at an airport and an inspector takes your batteries out of your luggage. All other things being equal, does it matter if he tosses them in the trash, or keeps them for his personal use?

From one perspective it doesn't matter - your batteries are gone either way.

But from another perspective, inspectors who keep what they find have completely different motivations - making the same outcome much more sinister and corrupt.
Recaptcha was not a free service. Or if it was, why did Google end up paying millions for it? And it's not free now, unless the engineers and scientists working on it are working pro bono.

According to Wikipedia and the New York Times, reCaptcha was not developed for public domain works. Its pilot project was to digitize the NYT archives, archives which were not released to the public domain nor are fully available without being a subscriber: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/29/science/29recaptcha.html

I'm not a machine learning expert but I'm going to laugh at your suggestion that Google could "pay a group of people to do". In the above referenced NYT article from 2011, recaptcha's creator says several million words were being processed by recaptcha per day.

And again, have to disagree that the end user "does not benefit in any significant way". We would not be discussing this if Google hadn't learned from massive user data to iterate their captcha from distorted word mush to what it is today. Captcha was a serious drain of user energy and patience, that's why recaptcha was invented in the first place. And the worst captchas were tolerated because automated usage was a financial threat to websites that end users use.

The way it's going, there should be a rule requiring that any equipment used in certified competitions must be released under GPL or another type of license that strikes a balance between vendor innovations and commercial interests. For instance, such license would grant anyone the rights to reproduce the equipment with a limit of 1000 units at no fee. Anything above the limit needs to be licensed on commercial terms. This will protect vendor IP and at the same time, ensure that the playing field is level in int'l competitions.

This way you end up dead really soon. The model only works for small projects.

Short version rephrasing of the rule: put a prototype into production.

You can see how it is obviously bad.

Typically cleaning up a dirty version is VERY hard. Takes much more time than rewriting assuming you wrote proper functional tests.

Likewise you cannot make a truly wrong design really fast without redoing it.

I would flip the rule on the head: design so that it can be made fast, is easy to get right, therefore will work.

My worst commute ever was from northern San Jose to a job in downtown San Francisco. First by car early in the morning to the end of the east-side BART line, and then BART to SF. I forget how long it took. 90 minutes? Two hours? Plus I had to get to the station really early or the available parking would be gone. And on the way back the highway was just a crawl.

Complete insanity.

The only way I can see an SJ-SF commute being reasonable is if you both live and work close to a Caltrain station.

I had to look it up - Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_nursing

So male registered nurses in the US appear to be a solid single digit in terms of percentage. Wikipedia says 6.6%.
The internet says CRNAs are 41-43% male.

So a very small number of male nurses, and a majority of them becoming CRNAs, and so the average pay for male nurses is higher than the female average. But really, I bet the 59% female CRNAs are being paid the same.

This is the problem with looking at averages only. If men are being prefered over women in the CRNA program, there is a problem. If female CRNAs are paid less on average than male CRNAs there is a problem. But the average alone tells you nothing. It definitely doesn't give you enough information to show you which part needs fixing.

I flew internationally extensively in '00/'01 and that must have been just after it was banned. I remember an Olympic flight from London to Athens where the now-standard "you can't smoke" announcements were made, and the signs were all turned on, and the second the wheels left the tarmac fully half of the plane lit up.

In the same period I flew Air France, to Senegal if memory serves. Again, no smoking and all that, but the stewardesses all bundled up in their galley, curtains closed, and were puffing away.

Bizarre to think about now.
Adding a proper interface is much more expensive than removing it if it proves worthless. Designing a good interface and especially components or other means of compartmentalization removes a huge source of mistakes.

Especially the last part is critical - if there is no abstraction or some other kind of tight binding between components you've already lost.

The air was somewhat drier but also of higher 'quality' because less of it was recirculated; most was fresh intake from the atmosphere, heated, passed through the cabin and dumped.

The introduction of widebody twins in the early 1980s coincided with increased air recirculation, in order to reduce bleed-air load on the engines, and until the 787 and A380 it was often over 60% recirculated.

Ironically the elimination of smoking led to a big increase in recirculated air.

To cut a long story short: Yes, most applications can just be ported.

The number of applications that rely on the actual clock rate being steady is extremely close to zero. Bear in mind nearly everything runs fine on laptop machines, which generally have a much wider range of clock states, and have no problems.

Similarly, each core in modern machines is likely to be running at a different speed, and again, no problems.

Finally, the clock rates used are a matter of OS policy; if you tell your OS to keep the CPU at a particular speed, it'll do it, regardless of whether it's an x86 or an ARM CPU.

Totally this. That's the problem I have with this trend for liquid food: you're eating food without chewing, and chewing is an essential part of the eating process as it gets saliva flowing, it exercises your jaw and sends signals to your digestive system to prepare.

And besides, texture is as much a part of food as taste and how it looks.

There's nothing new about the "beer theory of civilization", although this article doesn't really explain it very well.

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of it is that it explains how we domesticated crops in the first place. Consider the wild antecedent of maize(corn): teosinte. It's basically grass. It's "cobs", if they can truly even be called that, are tiny. You simply couldn't settle down and try to grow this stuff and be able to actually feed yourself. The yield of edible material is just too tiny. You'd spend more calories growing the stuff than you'd get back out of it. It took thousands of years of selective breeding to yield a crop that would make agriculture viable, so how the hell did we do that when there were no farmers?

Beer.

While it's not practical to settle in one spot and try to grow teosinte for food, it is possible to gather up enough wild teosinte to make a small amount of chicha (a fermented drink similar to beer). Tedious and painful, but possible. Hunter-gatherers who developed a taste for chicha likely learned they could save time by saving some of the seeds they gathered and scattering them in areas where they'd grow well. Return to the same spot in a year and the next batch of chicha will be easier to make! Selective breeding was a next step.

The important notion here is that, because they were making chicha, these hunter-gatherers had motivation to save themselves time and effort without actually having to rely on a crop that was not able to feed them enough calories to pay back the effort expended on it. Thus, humans didn't have to magically peer thousands of years into the future and start domesticating crops so that agriculture would one day become possible. They just had to like beer and be lazy.
For the Europeans, who moved there. The original inhabitants might think different. In their point of view, these colonies actually were the most devastating.
