What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?
  • I believe a major factor in this was a ruling by the Hoge Raad that a "free" phone with a contract is unlawful and is actually a loan. Carriers now have to list the price for the phone and for the service separately, so it's a lot more clear what the costs of the phone are.

    Also, a "free" phone is now registered as a loan with monthly recurring costs, which impacts for example the maximum mortgage you can get on a home.

  • Side of bed debate - Which side is left?
  • If you lay in the bed, depending on if you are lying on your back or stomach, left and right still change.

    Ususally a bed is positioned with the head against a wall, so if you are facing the bed from the foot end, left and right are always the same. So I vote left/right is as seen from the foot end of the bed.

  • Feddit.de posts?

    Het lijkt erop dat er al een paar weken geen posts van feddit.de meer binnenkomen. Op feddit.nl/instances staat hij nog wel als linked, en andersom pp feddit.de ook. Gaat er ergens iets mis?

    Why are there so many apps that could be websites?
  • This is definitely part of it. The company I work for sells a service to companies, that their employees need to use. We built a web app, it works perfectly fine. However, people ask for 'an app' because they want to install it from their phone's app store instead of opening the website once through a link in their email and creating a bookmark.

    So we added a PWA manifest and clear instructions on how to 'install' our web app (it's literally the same thing otherwise, no added functionality). Yet the users still complain that they want an app...

  • [2023 Day 7] Part 2 poorly specified
  • For part 2, the only thing that I missed at first was the JJJJJ edge case. My approach was:

    • count the amount of jokers
    • remove them from the hand
    • count the rest
    • add the amount of jokers to the biggest set in the hand

    Last step fails if there are no other cards left after you remove the jokers...

  • It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox on Android
  • For me it often covers important elements of the site that way. Especially these annoying "use our app" overlays, and then the "continue using website" button is hidden behind the address bar with jo way to scroll it into view. So no way to use the website :(

  • I Tracked an NYC Subway Rider's Movements with an MTA ‘Feature’
  • In the Netherlands, they solved this by adding a randomly generated transaction reference to the payment. This will appear on your bank / credit card statement. To view details for the transaction (time and location of entry/exit), you have to enter the paid amount and reference.

    However, this will only give you info for a single transaction. If you want to see an overview of all your transactions, you need to create an account in their app. After linking your card to your account, again using the reference and amount for a transaction, you can view your travel history.
