  • Clicking that link finds tons of apps. Whether any are good, I don’t know. But I do know that those apps exist, which is what you asked. It could be that there are no good apps. I don’t know even in principle what such an app could do that was useful.

    By contrast, I’ve heard lots of good things about Khan Academy videos. You might try a few of those instead of an app. Ideally, work with a human tutor as well. I’ve tutored calculus, everyone has their own stumbling blocks, and it’s best to work with someone who can see where you’re hitting trouble and help you get through it.








  • Is there any comfortable way to bring up this topic without making me sound like a narcissist who assumed a guy wants to sleep with her just because he asked her out🥲.

    I wouldn’t say you sound like a narcissist but this does sound immature. “He wants to sleep with you” and “he just wants to sleep with you” are two different things. It sounds to me that he likes you and wants to spend time with you, and maybe-probably also wants to sleep with you. Is that enough for you? It’s enough for some people, though obviously not for everyone. Either way, talk to him about it.




  • For running a public-facing business where your customer leads have to come from online, I don’t have a good answer, except maybe to take an attitude that it’s your company rather than you who is using the social media. I did a similar thing when I had to do some windows development for a client. I don’t run windows on my own computers, but the client supplied a windows laptop that I did the work on, so it was their computer rather than mine, ok fine. I realize it’s possible to overstretch that concept but it’s a matter of your personal comfort level.

    As an ordinary working stiff working privately for companies or clients but not seeking public exposure, I haven’t had significant problems despite not using the big social media including linkedin and github. Just respond to advertisements and stuff like that to get jobs, and self-host a public code repo if you want one. Once someone commented on it but it still wasn’t an issue.




  • I didn’t feel any different. 30 and your early 30’s are like the extended edition of your 20s. Turning 35, well that hurt. That is the entry to your late 30s, which is really the opening segment of your 40s. So you jump from 20’s to 40’s when you turn 35. Two decades of aging in a single day. Ouch ;).
