No fuss, just works, good price for what they deliver. Never had any issues.

agree with you on this.

you already see that playing out with Meta and a LOT of companies in China.

whatever happened to "never go full retard"?

talk about being out of touch.

I'm down to try and use AI to enhance processes and encourage people to do that, but making it part of performance reviews is just silly.

Very often, when I switch input keyboards between English/Mandarin, the popup that appears to indicate the selected language just won't go away automatically. I have to manually go and click somewhere to get rid of it. Also had loads of issues with notifications not rendering correctly.

When I talk to people it seems that they all have this concern, I doubt it's something that can be changed drastically in the short term.

But this is basically the same story everywhere. Living costs are really high. Add children to the mix and how do you manage?

If I put my pessimist hat on, it's just a matter of time till the same happens in Europe/US.

Heck, I already see friends in Ireland and UK struggling with that and they are all high earners.

> The 2024 figure is a 5 per cent drop from the previous year and the lowest since records began during Japan’s Meiji era in 1899.

But I am glad we now have more paid options available. Tooling is important and people that do good work should be able to charge for high quality tools.

I would be much happier in a world full of tools licensed like Sublime Text, where I can purchase a license and just run it without the need to constantly phone home though.

it's totally fair to charge for work you've done. the fact it's simple is irrelevant. what matters is the value it brings to the user.

That would have prevented a bad driver from taking down a device.

Even with a full-sized VR headset I'd be willing to spring for it.

Just schedule the work you need to do and have some standards for yourself and keep working on it.

If you feel tired after a while you can train yourself to push through it if you really want to. Anyone who's ever run, lifted weights, done martial arts, etc, will tell you your real limit is well beyond your feelings.

If you're still tired, take a break, get a tea or a coffee and just go back to work.

The secret to get work done is to just sit down and do the work. Get used to being bored.

That said, it’s freaking exhausting how these dumb actions keep being taken by governments all over the world.

It seems like every month there’s some new crap going on

Stripe, Square, Microsoft, Google, etc will all pay more in Ireland than they pay in any other EU country.

The problem with Ireland is that you will get no real benefit from the taxes you pay.

If you have family, you'll probably be better off moving to Germany or the Netherlands. There are some serious tax benefits for couples and parents. You will not get that in Ireland.

Specifically, someone close to me left Meta Dublin and moved to Google Berlin and had more money (post taxes) in Germany despite a significant TC cut.

If you don't care about EU, Switzerland. High cost of living but Meta, Google, and Nvidia will offer a salary comparable to the US and lower taxes than the rest of Europe.
