Do not be fooled by the term "ghost". The pain is still real, and experts now agree it is coming from both the brain and spinal cord [1]. Just like optical illusions, the mind can play many tricks on us. Just because the pain fee

Pain is strictly a physical sensation. It may however be triggered by thoughts or emotions. The three are rarely ever experienced in isolation.

Same question, different scenario: A pregnant woman will often crave the foods that contain just the nutrients her body requires at the time. Has she figured out exactly what her body needs and what foods contain it?

Nobody owns the intellectual property to "the cure of depression". Are you suggesting that the only way to cure depression is by paying a medical professional using only scientifically backed and proven methods and procedures some

Qualifications schwamifications... Where in the website did the app claim to "fix depression"? From what I can see, it helps you identify and release negative emotions.

What you don't seem to grasp is the difference between a project, and the eco-system that grows around it. SSH, WSL, Docker, third party language servers etc are not a part of VS Code. > That's not an exhaustive list What list?

Closure compiler was released in 2009, google maps in 2005. So no, you've got it all wrong. The only thing limiting you from using the full power of JS is your mindset. And Google maps is just one example, others include nodejs, elect

TS was designed to solve a problem. If you cannot see the problem, then you do not need it. Unless when working in teams with devs more used to thinking and structuring their code around types.
