Haha, but it's really a pack of tools, more like a toolbox.

Julia Evans' Git cheat sheet in c/programming

In recent git versions (>2.23), git restore and git restore --staged are the preferred ways to discard changes in the working tree (git checkout -- .) and staged changes (git reset --) respectively.

Stack Overflow Survey: 80% of developers are unhappy in c/programming

My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.

I need a Glassdoor account AND a review of a previous employer to see reviews on the website in c/[email protected]

Yeah, I mean platforms accessible without so many hoops to jump through.

It's believed that Glassdoor's business model is to charge companies for removing bad reviews. So how much value can the rating provide is questionable in the first place.

Personally, for big companies, there are always people writing their work experiences on an open platform. For small companies, it's unlikely to find a relevant review, if any, on Glassdoor anyway. So I never bothered to use it.

Why don't utility companies charge the exact amount used for the monthly bill? (lemmy.world)
 

Coming from another country, I always wonder why the two utility companies I have here in the UK, Thames Water and Octopus Energy, would calculate an amount that they think I should pay monthly, instead of just charge whatever I used last month. To me, the latter way makes much more sense and is the standard practice in the countries I lived before.

The amount they calculated seems to generate either a huge credit balance, or a huge underestimation. Thames Water changed my monthly bill from £29 to £7, and then to £17 over the course of a year and a half. Octopus Energy built up more than £200 of a credit balance (not sure if it's a result of the UK government energy gift credit last winter), then set a minimal amount of £61 monthly. They say the purpose is to make sure that the credit balance would be always be more than £100. Okay...but why? If I want to save money, I'd go to a bank.

I could see that it might make sense if the measurement is not as easy or accurate, but come on, it's the 21st century and the meter shows me my energy usage by the hour, surely they can calculate the exact amount rather than pull a random number out of nowhere?

Firefox Android: Fix the empty space at the top by setting the toolbar to bottom (lemmy.world)
 

It seems to be a bug for Firefox Android, but I had an empty space at the top when using wefwef as a PWA. Setting the toolbar position to "bottom" in the three-dot setting menu seems to fix it.
