I liked this chart so much I had to recreate it
I flipped the axis so that top right is best (tip by @marckohlbrugge and @daniellockyer)
My chart is based on http://Nomads.com data, which for quality of life includes people actually liking the place, climate, healthcare, schools but also air quality
You can also select [ X ] Only places I've been and it checks your travel history and shows you those, in my case, I've barely been to places in the bottom left (high cost, low quality)

P.S. places at war get a reduced quality of life score on https://Nomads.com as they always have been, doesn't matter who started it, which is why Israel shows as low, without conflict it'd be in the top left (inb4 cancelled)

Here's places I've been mapped
So I barely been to bad value places, except SF!

Matheus Horst @matheushorst
why “latin america” and not “south america”? it threw me off when i saw punta cana, which is north america (but also latin america!)

3K @levelsio
Latin America is much more logical than South America, Carribean and North America

Peter McCaffrey @peteremcc
Much better orientation of the graph.
But having Saskatoon as the absolute best place (regardless of price) is… a choice…
🤣

826 @levelsio
Seems good no?

fernie @ferniec87
Go Curitiba and Floripa!! 😎🇧🇷
Would be nice if quality of food and cuisine variety could be added

914 @levelsio
I go there a lot already :D

Peter Yang @petergyang
London has higher quality of life than SF? Not so sure.
Tel Aviv I had beautiful memories visiting, seems wrong to be on the bottom left.
Need more Chinese cities in top righ besides just Shanghai. Shenzhen should be top right imo.

1K @levelsio
Have you ever been to restaurants in SF? There's literally no good food. London isn't my fav place but it has amazing cuisine. Also SF still has lots of homeless

Hyce @HyCe
what is Lisbon tendency in your opinion ?

908 @levelsio
I think low quality, high cost

Martin Wawrusch @MartinWawrusch
What about Medellín? Not tracked?

Use search

Gabriel Moncha @gabimoncha
can you also add Bucharest pls 🙏

This is what Android can look like these days. Just gorgeous paired with the impeccable hardware from Samsung.

Thariq @trq212
it says a lot that the creators of three of the most iconic web frameworks: django (@simonw), flask (@mitsuhiko) and rails (@dhh) were so AI pilled so early

dax @thdxr
we've been working to figure out how to get deepseek hosted at near the previous price
this is not easy. there are dozens of providers claiming they've done it but they have not
we're running tests on several different setups this week and hopefully they work out

David @dayonefoundry
I quit travel vlogging and here's the harsh reality no one tells you:
Every experience is 20-40% less fun when you're experiencing it from behind a camera.
You're never fully present for the people around you when you're busy talking to the camera.
You're never fully yourself

Adam Wathan @adamwathan
Started playing with @bot this week, first problem I'm using it to solve is automatically picking my lunches from Factor every week because any time I forget they send me stuff I don't like.
Becoming really easy to see how the way we use the web is going to totally change.

Bun @bunjavascript
We’re adding one more new subcommand in Bun v1.4
guess what

David K @DavidKPiano
This is such a good idea
The more we delegate coding to agents without reading the code, the less we know about our own codebases (this is a bad thing)

Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk
This genuinely happened to me
At Next.js conf in 2022
At a food truck in the baking sun
Sat next to an enthusiastic dude talking about next-drupal
I was pretty tired, nodded along
That guy goes on to create shadcn

Dilum Sanjaya @DilumSanjaya
Tried out another cozy game idea with Opus 5
This is the result after 5 hours
Managed to get a working economy, assignable tasks for villagers, and plenty of things to build

In 2018, I was working 10 hours a day on my SaaS, and it was making $3K/month.
I remember my employee friends working 6 hours a day, with higher salaries, paid vacation, and holidays.
A thought crossed my mind: Why do I even bother?
It wasn’t until four years later, in 2022,

GLM-5.3 is good game engine. We got a little carried away testing it. Share a few examples below.

Richie @richiemcilroy
A few days ago I started a Tauri -> Electron migration for @Cap. It resulted in 39% less CPU usage and 77% lower memory.
It made me realise one thing... if Electron can beat Tauri this badly, native should be disgusting.
Working on a full GPUI version overnight. Results soon.
