My former business bank actually did this. They insisted their web app "was compatible with all modern browsers, but more compatible with Chrome" - I couldn't make transfers to other accounts with Firefox, it just hung indefi

I have an IKEA VINDSTYRKA air quality meter and while I doubt it's as accurate as the one in the linked post, it very quickly increases when I'm cooking on the hob. It's gone from the usual 1-5 right up to 30 before. Being mi

What kind of feedback do you get from a grid of buttons? How do I know whether 1 is top left (like a phone) or bottom left (like a keyboard)? Once the initial setup is out of the way (which I admit is probably a bit of a pain) being able to

When making them we (UK) tend to use pectin as the thickening agent for jams/marmalades and gelatin for jelly. You can buy sugar with pectin added marketed as 'jam sugar'. Jam should be nowhere near as firm as jelly.

Ah so that is the case. The company own the warehouse from which the gold was taken, in the case of the crime I linked to above.

It's quite a coincidence how the name overlaps so much with a British gold robbery that also has plenty of mystery surrounding it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brink%27s-Mat_robbery

The point is, it's not _obvious_. You need to get three pages deep on xbox.com to see the specs side by side. At a glance the difference between the X and the S could be like the PS4 vs PS4 Slim, or the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition.

I just had to look up the difference between the series X and S. It wasn't obvious to me. It's not even obvious which is the more powerful model, there's no mention anywhere of what X and S stand for. Is 'S' Small o

Similar happened to my parents years ago. Windows 7, working perfectly. My mum kept seeing a popup asking "do you want to upgrade to Windows 10?" and every time (for months) clicked close. Then, they changed the button layout and

This reminded me of the song "All that she wants" by Ace of Base. The mistranslation of the word "baby" makes the song sound like it's about a woman who wants more kids, rather than a woman who wants a lover. https

I love the OtherUnix page. There's a link to a Hungarian company called Unix Autó who have a product called InfoMix - which I initially scanned as Informix. That would've been a coincidence too far.

I think the OP is referring to the time before Rails natively supported foreign keys. While I agree there's a place for business rules (the app), properly enforcing referential integrity and uniqueness can now easily be done in both -
