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, anyone else.

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 supply natural gas on my side of the tracks. This rules out

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 an output with no other direct benefits. As a whole the hea

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 one way or another for more than 30 years and per

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 capacity to taste different (whether people have the capaci

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 I would normally expect. Regardless of part wear, or the ap

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 cookies that might include secrets (a session cookie

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 able to tell?

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 that any day. Phoning a large company can result in wai

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 pictures. I was offered a refund and replacement of a newer vers

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-specific no-code tools can help. I'm developing a to

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 I think I can prevent intentionally-malicious activity

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 sidesteps the capacity for problematic memory leaks that co

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 instead take a single argument being a parameter

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 all instances she finds it nauseating, even the smell from 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 backend work in addition to frontend work. There was

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 machine and I'm very happy with the re-use options. T

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 across the ring road dual carriageway. Hopefully we all get

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-looking things like CSS selectors behind user-defined names

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 obvious.

I think your message asking for such advice is itself of a suitable length where the problem is clearly stated without deviation or distraction. Taking your message on it's own, you have the ability to keep the message size small. Keep

About 20 years ago I stayed for two weeks on a rural rice farm in Goa. The toilets fed directly into the pig sty. Very directly down a short chute add though a hole. An eager pig snout poked through the hole could make contact. Never before
