zerocount··on PayPal raises fees for most domestic transaction types to 3.49% + $0.49
I blame all the sellers using PayPal's services but not wanting to pay the fees. <RANT>I pay a 3% fee to purchase with my debit card, so sellers need to pay up as well. I'm sick of sellers wanting me to use F&F or cover their PayPal fees. If you have a business that accepts payment through PayPal, or any other payment service, pay the fees!</RANT>
zerocount··on In software, when an engineer exits the team
In my ~13 years of experience, I've never worked under a manager who enabled or trusted me. I've always left a job because of new management, a policy instituted by a manager, or because the manager made me work on holidays, or being available to clients on my vacation. Generally, it's the 'shit on the employee in the name of the client' that pisses me off.

I'm of the opinion now that managers are a waste of resources and amount to baby-sitters who attend meetings, approve time off, and try to get me to work more.

I haven't met a manager yet who made a positive contribution to a project. There's a reason people shit on them!

zerocount··on Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI
Nice setup. I prefer one large monitor over dual displays and a desktop over a laptop. I just don't have any use for the small laptop screen and keep it closed most of the time.
zerocount··on OSHA to require employers with 100 employees vaccinate or test workforce
Yep, that's how it is in Israel. Get the boosters or no 'pass' for you.
zerocount··on OSHA to require employers with 100 employees vaccinate or test workforce
The big problem is they still want people who've recovered from COVID to get vaccinated. This is a very big deal and I wouldn't be surprised if the whole OSHA plan goes to the Supreme Court.

I've recovered from COVID and stand against vaccine mandates.

zerocount··on Climate Disaster Is the New Normal. Can We Save Ourselves?
I'm trying to save my self by finding a job, does that count? I'm also going through a divorce and I just recovered from COVID. Who's got time to worry about climate?
zerocount··on John Carmack on Hiring
Did you ever consider mentoring the person? Seems better than back-stabbing. The worse part is you're ok with it!
zerocount··on Htmlq: like jq, but for html
I disagree. The 2nd sentence contains, "extract bits content." What is that?

If you're going to write a minimal introduction, at least make sure it's not confusing.

I get the feeling the author felt compelled to write an introduction and did so with as little effort as possible.

zerocount··on Hiring Developers: How to avoid the best
Yep, this really makes me mad. 10 years of job history plus 3 references and I have to go searching for addresses for all the jobs and dig through my phone for people's phone numbers. And then I never hear from them...

This has been my experience as well.

What specific metal are you talking about?
zerocount··on Missile Base for Sale
It'd be a great video if not for the robot narration voice. I wish people would just read it themselves. I couldn't watch it with that voice talking.
