are you sure your numbers are right? I'm looking at my last electricity bill and we used 450kWh in one month. And it's not summer here so no A/C and our water is gas heated. We're a household of 2+2 young kids. We turn o

wow, makes me realise how crazy expensive Australian prices are. Your price is .11 Euro/kWh (.16AUD). I'm paying .38AUD/kWh, almost 2.5 times more than you! Don't event get me started on gas prices. Last month my Gas+Ele

I agree and it disgusts me. The "fuck you I got mine" attitude is a) sociopathic and b) illogical. It's illogical because someone else getting a leg up doesn't mean you'll be losing ground (the pie is mostly imagina

It has unmatched print CSS support, so it'll take anything you throw at it. Also it blisteringly fast. You'll process 10 documents before headless Chrome has even finished starting up. There's a free trial which prints a wate

PrinceXML is in a league of it's own. Very, very light weight. Very fast and it has outstanding output. The price tag is steep for sure, but if your business relies on PDF output then nothing comes close.

ORMs aren't very good. They make simple things slightly simpler and get in the way the rest of the time.

hehe thanks for the tip, but I don't trust my own psyche enough for those kinds of experiments, even though I'm deeply curious of what I'd experience.
