How did you find this out? It seems really hard to understand what's messing you up if your messed-up state seems normal to you.

Not having a passion or drive. I've pretty much floated my way through life, and I'm still not happy with what I'm doing. I don't know why, but I'm not...and I don't know what to do to fix it, or if it's e

I had a similar experience at my first job. I was given a lot of access to important, core functionality like server configurations (e.g. using staging vs. production API servers and DB config), but mistakes weren't well tolerated. I&#

To expand on this: there's a difference between being interested in something, and being motivated or driven to become something. I'm kinda meh on all sorts of software engineering fields like networking and systems programming,

I've never been a game developer, so I'd have to say the latter. It'd certainly be fun to work as a game developer and learning about game design is fascinating (if mindblowingly complicated), and I might be open to working a

An important thing to note: I wouldn't call this a fool-proof way of getting creative, necessarily. I tried this just now, and writing down my concerns and "stoppages" actually brought up some pretty good points as to why no

That's more or less what I'm thinking. It depends on what works best for me, and for me keto diets are a little too high-maintenance for my liking, even though they're technically simple. I still naturally tend towards a high

Yep - that's what I aim for now that I'm doing weight lifting. I definitely don't get as hungry/munchy as I used to, and I'm filled up pretty easily. It's certainly not impossible, but it does get kinda hard wi

I'll have to knuckle down and listen to those podcasts, then. As for the protein limitation, the calculator in the other comments have upper limits. I keep getting conflicting information on this point.

I prolly fucked the diet up, then. It certainly _felt_ like I was eating almost all fat...good to know that I can take advantage of cheap fatty meats like short ribs, oxtail, and marrow then. As for vegetables, I missed carrots and peas too

by rpazyaquian 10y ago
I could have sworn that there was an upper limit on the amount of protein you can eat on keto. Something like, more than ~150g would mean that the protein starts getting used for energy instead of fat, which ruins the keto. Maybe that was m

I'll also admit that a big reason I had middling success on keto was that I had no idea how to cook for myself without relying on a source of carbs. Learning how to cook fat-heavy, low/no-carb meals is something that I've nev

I would like more info or a small review as well, too. Mostly cause I'm at work and I'll forget by the time I get home...

The main problem I have with ketogenic diets is that it's actually quite difficult and sometimes expensive to eat a 90-95% fat diet. I tried it for a while, and since I couldn't have carbs OR too much protein, I had several instan

Eh, even then, there's still tons of shitheads on there. The $10 barrier is not that strong, and the community is kinda balls anyway.

I agree. I bet that the 80+ hour work weeks are going to result in death someday.

These things are the most important things I've learned over my career, and it's astonishing how few people actually do this at all , let alone well. Things like that are the reason I'm moving more towards design, architectu

What types are and what they do is all well and good, but what I want to know is how they would help me write a larger application. Would it help it be more correct, be written faster, or be more flexible? Does it just help on a line-by-lin

Can't we all just assume from now on that anything bad that happens is because of some shitty CEO cost-cutting everything to line their pockets? Because 99% of the time that's what's happening.

The difference is that North Carolina has HB2 and Massachusetts does not. Cities are great and all, but don't forget that state and federal laws take precedent over city ordinances.

I'll admit not knowing much of anything about Detroit, but I'm not sure how Boston doesn't count as a relatively safe place for LGBT individuals.

It does suck. That's a big reason why we can't just concentrate progressivism in pinpoint areas like New England or Washington State. We need sweeping, national change in order for things to really get better.

Kansas City only came to mind cause I was at the last RailsConf and thought that KC was actually in Kansas. Don't take me seriously on that one :p

This is the same attitude we held towards college degrees and look where we ended up with that.

This jumped out at me: > “I’m trans, so I need to live somewhere progressive so I feel safe day-to-day and don’t feel like I’m going to get beat up for using the wrong restroom.” This is a pretty damn good reason to live somewhere like S

Exactly. I came to live in Boston because there is shit-all for tech companies in Jacksonville, FL. I wasn't about to start one for myself, and I wanted to both make a good salary and get lots of experience. If you want to work a job,

Definitively this. Most in-office jobs involve using a computer a lot for data crunching or whatever, or it requires a lot of meetings that you can have just as well over Skype or Google Hangouts. Even meeting with clients can be done remot
