Forget what HN is telling you. They are complaining about your list yet they are the first ones to sign up for the next ruby/angular/whatever JS thingy is popular this week ebook mailing list.

I live in Ohio but work in Squirrel Hill. The city has transformed over the years and is a really nice place. The only downside is the weather. This time of year it's easier to complain about weather but we literally get some of the lo

That's only a thing for people who live in NYC, Chicago, and maybe the Bay. The rest of us still need cars. I live pretty far away but my commute to Pittsburgh is ~2 hours each way.

I was kind of looking for that too. Cost of living in this area is pretty low and the tech scene is growing. The only downside is you have to live in Pittsburgh and I actually like sunshine so I've been thinking of moving.

I agree. The salaries seem inflated compared to talks with co-workers. If I look within my own company and even within my own company+city+job title Glassdoor is way to high. Honestly the most accurate numbers we get are probably from the H

Companies pay benefits on top of salary. According to my company the cost for me is $208 per hour for "total compensation". I don't know how they come to that number but it seems unlikely. I generally bill out at about $100 m

How accurate is glassdoor? If I look at my city, for my position, inside my own company it seems highly inaccurate. Either that or I'm paid half of what everyone else makes, which seems unlikely. According to this site indeed seems pro

It was just a poor joke about 7am being considered early in the bay. Mostly because I loath my 5am wakups for my corporate job. Sorry.

You're telling me you even get to sleep in?

by johnward 12y ago
So it sounds like every corporate job I'be ever had. Except more upside. The downside is you might have to get a corporate job if you fail. Although I would love to be able to fire a few customers but I'm sure my benefits are prob

It still doesn't actually maximize, at least for chrome. It just expands vertically not horizontally. I also don't understand why fullscreen is the default. I've never once, ever, actually wanted something to go full screen.

Can anyone explain why OSX apps don't have a maximize button? The full screen button is just terrible.

I think that is for all internal software and support not just the consumer web part. Still seem high but they are a big company.

Are you sure it's only burnout? You could be depressed. I feel like the symptoms are kind of interchangeable to me. Mostly I can't tell if I'm depressed because work sucks or if work sucks because I'm depressed. Maybe ta

Since I'm on keto I usually go for a salad, single or double serving of meat depending on how many calories I can have, cheese, sour cream, some type of salsa. This usually amounts to 440-600ish calories and I eat this several times a

So are you saying insulin + caloric surplus is what causes weight gain? It seems obvious to me that many people handle different types of food differently. For example carbohydrates are going to affect a diabetic differently than someone w

by johnward 12y ago
Right. Protein breaks down to glucose more than fat does (which is why keto diets recommend moderate protein and high fat). Carbs break down the most into glucose.

by johnward 12y ago
Not necessarily "horse shit". We know sugars produce insulin responses. We know insulin causes growth/weightgain. We know carbs most directly convert to sugar, followed by protein, followed by fat. So in theory you may be abl

by johnward 12y ago
Carbohydrates are the most likely to cause an insulin response which causes weight gain. I'm not saying they are "unhealthy" but I think we, in the US, eat unhealthy amounts particularly refined sugars.

by johnward 12y ago
What about other factors? Sure thermodynamics says if you burn more calories then you take in you will lose weight but what about other factor like insulin that cause weight gain? Is eating 300 calories of sugar really the same as 300 calor

I don't have water or sewage at my house. I have a well and septic system. I also have a propane generator but it's only for power outages, that happen more frequently when you live in the country. I do have a private company col

This does happen to me sometimes. I'm a consultant so I end up having to use customer gmail accounts and my personal account. So of course it always logs in with my personal since the browser logs in with that. Then I add this customer

I have a propane generator that sits outside. I'm not sure why a battery couldn't aside from heat in the summer.

T can be part of depression but not the entire issue. I also found out a had sleep apnea which impacted my ability to think, my depression level, energy levels, etc. Normally if I am on T shots I am completely fine. If not I am up and down
