"just"

How many zeros?

For my setup, absolutely none of it! Wholly incompatible with what I have. My original question was purely hypothetical and not a practical consideration for me or, probably, anyon…

A bit of a tangent, but do you mind saying what you pay per kWh? I'm currently on £0.36 GBP per kWh (about $0.45). Just wondering what counts as cheap!

I'm in the UK, a small town in Wiltshire. The town I live in is bisected by a MOD railway and, from what I understand, permission was never granted for whatever was needed to suppl…

I live in a house house exclusively warmed by electric heating (underfloor downstairs, wall-mounted upstairs). The heating system takes electricity as an input and provides heat as…

I'm left handed and have always used the mouse with my left hand. The tilt on the cursor has never seemed odd or wrong or strange to me in any way. I've been using computer mice in…

I work as a software developer but once trained as a barista when considering opening my own coffee shop. I can offer some fact-based reasoning as to how different coffees have the…

My main dev machine is the same age and is similarly chugging along just fine. Cost £1400 in 2012. It has no moving parts and I hoped this could lead to it lasting well beyond what…

It's a security matter more than a performance matter, although improved performance is a nice side effect. For assets served from a third party (a CDN), you don't want to send coo…

Might lab-grown diamonds have reached a point of being indistinguishable from natural diamonds such that people pass off lab-grown diamonds as natural diamonds without anyone being…

In my experience, the usefulness of live chat features varies wildly. If the live chat service connects me to a human who is able to resolve my query in a timely manner, I'll take …

I left a non 5 star review of an inexpensive Pixel 4 case. The case was too close around the flash resulting in the flash reflecting off the case resulting in absolutely awful pict…

I agree with the sentiments regarding the use of low-code/no-code tools for general purpose programming. I'd like to present a specific use case as an example of how domain-specifi…

Yes, this is what I'm currently doing with a cloud-based website automated-testing system. In my case, code supplied by the end user is compiled into a different language such that…

Wood will not self-combust until reaching around 300°c. Hopefully that temperature is never reached.

What are the memory leak problems? I was under the impression that PHP's stateless nature, with a whole new instance of everything coming into being for each request, somewhat side…

I'd think that such a solution doesn't solve but merely moves the problem. A method with N arguments, where N > 2, with a call that is messy due to the number of arguments could in…

Side tangent: is it all seafood that you dislike? My girlfriend finds all forms of fish and seafood distasteful - fresh water fish, salt water fish, shellfish, the lot. In almost a…

I'm full stack. I see what you're saying and I think that in some (many?) cases your impression is correct. In my last job, I entered as a frontend developer and moved into more ba…

Whilst the classic Nespresso machines have potential recycling issues, the vertuo line of machines/pods are more favourable. I was recently given a second-hand Nespresso vertuo mac…

Is that unusual where you are? Over the past few years I've seen the odd pheasant within ten minutes walk of the centre of Basingstoke as well as the occasional deer sprinting acro…

Your email doesn't appear to be present in your public profile that I can see.

I certainly feel your pain when it comes to non-modular linear end-to-end scripts. The DSL I'm working on is already quite modular so as to reduce repetition, to hide complex-looki…

Being in the UK myself, I'm curious about this. Does Octopus provide the price of electricity at the current moment? I had a quick look at their website but couldn't see anything o…
