I've been looking into Mauritius as well. My gut feel told me it's kinda a "sleepy island" rather than a bustling destination for expats. If I remember correctly one of the indicators was the lack of highly regarded international schools. It's a combo of superficial research and gut feel so I might be wrong here.

Switzerland has been high on my bucket list!

Two things hold me back:

1. Seems purchasing a house starts at around 1 million usd, even somewhere in the middle of nowhere 2. It's so safe and organised, my kiddos would grow up too untroubled and carefree :D !

Could have been it. I work and live in Thailand so it’s always hot, but might have Ben sitting outside more

I don’t use notes, but I’ll check activity monitor, thanks!

noob question, but which frameworks would you recommend to use instead?

I'm using React because it's easy to re-use components. Which alternatives are there for that?

I went to a mainstream university for my engineering degree.

And to a top-5 business school for my MBA.

I agree that the brand of the latter is massively important in opening doors, and I believe these high end brands will remain valuable.

I'm mostly wondering whether the 5 years spent to obtain an engineering degree were useful, I can't imagine my daughter spending 5 years to obtain a degree when she turns 18.

Gentleman in Moscow.

Despite being fiction, it sets the standard for elegance and charm.

Suffering from recency bias though, as I read it recently.

Was thinking the same, if this could extract my profile from LinkedIn.

Send my kid to international school :)

Never forget it's just some person's opinion. You can accept or reject it.

I used to get a lot of negative feedback from my boss, every week it was something else. Turns out he was going through a bad period. I switched bosses and everything was fine. It sucks when it's your boss, but it's still only a personal opinion of one person.

Slightly related, I sometimes open an empty meeting with camera on to see my face reflected to me.

It surprising how often I catch myself yawning, leaning on my hand, picking my nose, looking grumpy, ...

I would probably pay if it was a standalone service with an easy sign up.

But somehow everything that I have to do through Google makes me cringe the amount of friction I'll have to go through. Unclear whether this perception is justified, as I never even tried to sign up to YouTube Premium (though intended often).

Yes, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Lufthansa a380 in BKK. (Though not 100% sure)

Both HKG and BOM are there!

Combined with a bug, the geocode api made costs explode. So I took it out.

It's back online.

If you get JFK first and Changi second it's more than an evening sorted :D

Trying to bring it back online but I had a bug on my Google Maps api and costs exploded

OP here, I killed it. Maps and Geocoding costs were exploding, I didn't expect this. Thanks for your support, I'll have to improve it in a leaner way!

Thanks for the feedback, Mountain Air doesn't have an ICAO code, so I had to use a workaround. Clearly it isn't working ....

Added Seattle, Oakland and Boston. Checking for MHT, MKE.

I actually think the Bond one is the Pyrenees one, they even renamed it to 007 airport or something like that. It’s from Tomorrow Never Dies.

Yes, I’ve had that problem myself as well. I’ve built it in React and frankly I don’t know how to make the ‘return’ button work. But there is a solution for everything!

Yes, the thought came up but didn’t implement yet. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, thinking of adding filters to be able to zoom in to cities of regions. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback, it’s a relatively small selection for the moment, only ~60 airports.

And I don’t take the ones a user has seen out of the queue.

Pure vanity, I like to have an idea how many visitors I had

Edit: I realize my previous comment isn’t accurate, i want to tracker visitor numbers, not visitors specifically

I live in Thailand so I added a couple of Thai airports, proximity bias I guess

I got the impression it could be expensive because it seems I just got billed a ~100 usd. Any way to work around this?

Only using it to track visitors, and didn’t have time to dive deep into an alternative

If you know an alternative to Google, would be happy to switch!
