That's nonsense. I've got 20 YoE, an elite college degree, tons of experience in Python and C++, have single-handedly put together mission critical software systems, and I can't get my foot in the door outside my small area o

I have this issue on the Galaxy S10e (stock). I get the white screen of death after a while. I uninstalled it because my phone was swapping out the second to last app when I had Firefox Preview installed, even when not using it. (Maybe it w

Except for one throwaway sentence about life extension averaged across 72 drugs, the huge point the author is missing is that the mortality rate is not what matters. The drugs aren't curing cancer - they're extending the lives of

I did this on the Gear VR (which actually has better resolution than the original Rift), and it was amazing. The streams would die once in a while, but it was SO fun to watch. You could switch around to different views while you were watchi

Also married with three kids. I've worked remotely for years now, and I have a working spouse. I manage to socialize some with other parents because of kid activities, but that's about it! And I only manage that by keeping my work

I share your experience (lacking any inner voice), except when I'm staging words to be spoken (or written as a conversation). I'm a native English speaker, and I never remember having an inner voice. Until reading a page linked he
