@UruguayanHeroes Varela was ok the last couple of games. Nandez has more energy but is a constant red card risk. Unfortunately Mourino is untested in the NT (wish we'd give him a chance though)

Does Guillermo Varela start for you at the World Cup? Or do you still prefer Nahitan Nández... or would you like to see Santiago Mouriño?

@UruguayanHeroes Dedicated in pressure and defense, ran a lot, but no impact in attack, didn't link up with the rest of the team

What did you make of Agustín Canobbio during this international break? 🤔

@_onlyscott It's Uruguay but I don't know who you have on left back

Guess the national team? 👀 Level: HARD

@federicod El libro es del 2021, la situacion era otra

Ayer fui a ver Proyecto Hail Mary. #ProjectHailMary Claramente el autor no tuvo en cuenta el estado actual de la #IA ni el desarrollo futuro inmediato. Esa película ya era vieja desde antes. Es más, un argumento demasiado parecido a #Interstellar.

@frascafrasca Tango he visto muchas veces, pero Mercedes Sosa fue una sorpresa total

Además de una buena película (y gran libro), Project Hail Mary es probablemente la primera película de ciencia ficción gringa que incluye un tango y una canción de Mercedes Sosa. Muy entretenida. Recomiendo.

@ealmeida @diegodelacurva encontre que el link todavia anda (lento, pero anda) de esta joya historica fing.edu.uy/biblioteca/bib…

@diegodelacurva Trabajaba en al FING, en los momentos que era uno de los pocos nodos de email del UY. Me toco cubrir la guardia de Juan, el operador del Centro de Calculo. Una de mis tareas, era conectarme telefonicamente el modem un dia con Argentina y otro con Brasil, para recibir los mails.

Hace 40 años llegaba a Uruguay el primer correo electrónico, había solo dos cuentas, una en la FING y otra en la FHC. Me parece una locura lo que ha pasado tecnológicamente en tan sólo 40 años.

@ealmeida @diegodelacurva tengo esto guardado x.com/alvrod/status/…

@diegohead_ Vivo en Holanda y veo lo mismo, puedo comparar los precios del supermercado que voy normalmente con los de los super de Uruguay en internet, los precios en Uruguay son increiblemente altos

Zazza el italiano quedó de cara con los precios que tenemos en Uruguay quería comprarse una espuma de afeitar vio que salía 4 veces más que en Italia y se terminó afeitando con el jabón del hotel jsjskdjakdka país totalmente cogido por los políticos

@exquizitely I have great memories of playing a version of this game for PC in the 90s in Uruguay

Games in the 80s were mostly created in the US and the UK. Other markets - such as Germany - didn't have such a known and established gaming industry, but some smaller teams and lesser known companies. One of those was Aegis Interactive Entertainment, basically consisting of German duo Rolf-Dieter Klein and Martin Ulrich. What they created in 1986 still looks incredibly gorgeous today, 40 years later: Ports of Call Granted, the gameplay is not overly complex - you buy ships, trade goods, face the occasional action sequence challenge, and slowly see your bank account grow (or shrink). However, that simplicity in terms of gameplay doesn't mean that game was bland. The graphics were absolutely wonderful at the time (and still are), the music and sound effects were superb, and the game had a really good flow. Not sure whether it was that known outside of Germany (no PR or marketing power for a small company back then without a big publisher), but I think it's one of Germany's finest games of the 80s.

@Metallica Astronomy, but most songs are excellent and often better than the originals

"Garage Inc." was released 27 years ago #OnThisDay in 1998! What's your favorite song on the album?

@Misticauruguaya @Footy_Headlines Horrible, la peor que he visto

🇺🇾⚫️ Se sigue filtrando información y todo indica que finalmente así será la camiseta alternativa que usará Uruguay en el Mundial. ¿Que les parece? Vía [@Footy_Headlines]

@UtdBloke_ Uruguay

Guess the national team.

Rutte: Russia now produces in 3 months what NATO makes in a year—1,500 tanks, 3,000 armored vehicles, 200 Iskanders. In 5 years, it could strike NATO directly. Hypersonics make European distances minutes apart There’s no East or West anymore. Only NATO. 1/

@Metallica Bleeding Me and Outlaw Torn

"Load" was released 29 years ago #OnThisDay in 1996! What’s your favorite song on the album?

I made a geopolitical meme

@alexsklar Felicidades y abrazos, espero que andes bien

Happy Passover, חג שמח Next year in Jerusalem! 🇮🇱

LFG! Looking for leadership roles at small to mid sized software companies, or potentially innovation-aligned roles at larger companies. Ideal role is 25%+ hands on, or at least starts out that way. I’ve had a lot of success scaling and organizing chaotic technology orgs.

@rickasaurus well, AI can also generate proven code. Not the vibe coding approach, but it has been done. Perhaps both approaches can even be combined at some point (?)

@alvrod One big exception is formally proven systems. Even if you have a bunch of vibe coders on the front end you’ll want your financial computation engine likely very correct. Hard to say if AI will eventually be more reliable than people though.

Functional programming is the future in the same sense as the retro future aesthetic of the 50s. It’s a beautiful future blindsided by the realities of AI advancement, that is unless that Python/Typescript code gen advantage evens out over time.

@ONVentura En Amsterdam y otras ciudades europeas estan prohibiendo los cruceros porque son turistas parasitos que ensucian y en realidad no gastan nada porque tienen todos los servicios en el barco

La Ciudad Vieja llena de turistas. ¡Cuánto bien le haría al país si la IM pensara la CV con mente empresarial! Sería una máquina de producir dinero, si solo tuvieran la inteligencia para comprender lo que busca el turista al viajar.
