A comment on Severely deficient autobiographical memory (SDAM) in healthy adults (2015). Parent comment

I'm seeing big gaps in my memory now that I'm almost 60. For example, I had no recall of a vacation to London this past December; I believe I went because I was shown photos and I remember the trip I made right after to Belfast, but if I didn't have the reminder, I wouldn't have known that I went there.

I'm still working every day writing C++/CUDA/VHDL code, so I suppose I'm a healthy adult.

Love Fortran77, by the way. Learned it entirely from the manual that came with the floppy disk back in the day; and it's amazing to me that manuals were that good. There are some modern R packages such as library(randomForest) which are basically Fortran code written in the 70s and "why fix what isn't broken"!
