@cpt340 É de mim ou ao ver as fotos o lenco na cabeça parece una barba

Hanan Mohammed Jawad e Bakhita Al Mheiri são as duas primeiras mulheres dos EAU a chegar à posição de Comandante nos aviões da Emirates. Vão ambas integrar a frota Boeing 777 da companhia. Isto representa um passo de gigante numa sociedade onde as mulheres têm vindo lenta mas seguramente a conquistar o seu espaço a nível social e profissional. Quando as primeiras mulheres piloto chegaram à TAP em finais da década de 80 elas sabiam que o cockpit era um dos lugares mais "macho" do planeta. Por isso tinham que mostrar que podiam ser iguais ou até mesmo melhores que muitos homens. As duas copilotos que voaram comigo nos Boeing 737 eram simplesmente excelentes. Chegaram ambas a comandantes de Airbus A330 e hoje ... estão ambas reformadas. Estou mesmo velho, é oficial. Parabéns Hanan e Bakhita! Agora o céu é mesmo o limite👍👍

@bigaiguy I'm a computer science engineer for almost 20 years. Never heard of it before. Only one thing to say. This guy is a computer science genius of modern days.

A French engineer who lives quietly in Paris has spent 30 years writing software that the entire internet now runs on without knowing his name. He wrote the code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip. He wrote the code that runs the virtual servers underneath AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. He calculated more digits of pi than anyone in history. He has no Twitter. He has no marketing. He just keeps shipping. His name is Fabrice Bellard. Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the systems programming world knows what one man has built. Fabrice was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He studied at École Polytechnique, the top French engineering school. He never went to Silicon Valley. He never built a startup empire. He just wrote code. In 2000 he started a project called FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia framework for encoding, decoding, and streaming video. He was 28. The project did one thing nobody else had done well. It handled every video and audio format that existed, in one library, on every operating system. He led it himself for years. Today FFmpeg is the invisible engine of the internet. YouTube uses it. Netflix uses it. VLC uses it. Chrome and Firefox use parts of it. Every Android phone, every iPhone, every smart TV, every video editing tool you have ever touched runs FFmpeg somewhere underneath. If you have watched a video on a screen in the last 20 years, Fabrice's code processed it. He was not done. In 2003 he started QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualizer. He wrote it solo until version 0.7.1 in 2005. QEMU lets you run any operating system on any other operating system. It became the foundation of modern virtualization. KVM, the Linux kernel hypervisor, runs on top of QEMU. Every major cloud provider, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, runs virtual machines on infrastructure built around it. The Quick Emulator is the most cited piece of cloud infrastructure code on Earth. He kept going. In 2001 he won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest with a small C compiler that grew into TCC, the Tiny C Compiler. TCC can compile and boot a Linux kernel from source in under 15 seconds. In 2004 he calculated the most digits of pi ever computed at the time, using a personal desktop computer and an algorithm he derived himself called Bellard's formula. In 2011 he wrote a complete PC emulator in pure JavaScript that runs Linux in your browser, a project called JSLinux that engineers still cannot believe is real. In 2019 he released QuickJS, a small but complete JavaScript engine that fits where V8 cannot. In 2021 he released NNCP, a neural network based lossless data compressor that immediately took the lead on the Large Text Compression Benchmark. Then he turned his attention to large language models. He built TextSynth Server, a web server with a REST API for running LLMs locally. He released ts_zip and ts_sms, compression utilities that use language models to compress text and short messages at ratios traditional algorithms cannot reach. He released TSAC, a very low bitrate audio compression system. In December 2025 he released Micro QuickJS, a new JavaScript engine for microcontrollers, separate from QuickJS, designed for environments with almost no memory. Fabrice co-founded a telecom company called Amarisoft in 2012, where he serves as CTO. Amarisoft builds 4G and 5G base station software used by carriers and labs around the world. He has been running it for over a decade while continuing to ship personal projects from his own home page at bellard dot org He has no Twitter. He has no Instagram. He gives almost no interviews. His personal website is a flat list of projects with no styling, no fonts, no marketing copy. Just titles and links. A quiet French engineer who never moved to Silicon Valley wrote the code that quietly runs the internet. He is still shipping.

@Alexc369258 @bestweather_ Eu vejo uma razão. Mas não gosto. Na versão empedrado vão, supostamente, gastar menos em manutenção de jardins.

@bestweather_ Não percebo a paixão que muitas camâras têm por espaços cimentados/empedrados. Chaves pode ser muito quente no verão, retirar árvores é uma palermice, em vez de convidar as pessoas a uma rotina no exterior, faz o contrário.

Portugal ativamente contra as noções mais básicas de planeamento, conforto térmico e ecologia urbana.

@001Oxygen First I remember was 1998 World Cup in France.

Are there people on this app who have Watched more than 4 world cups ?

@atadeia Loucura!

Que caraças!

@romeu Boa. Há excesso de TVDEs.

Achei esta notícia muito estranha, até que me explicaram o conceito de KYR (Know Your Rider) - o problema de identificação de motoristas que utilizam 4 ou 5 a mesma conta - e contaram que acabaram de lançar reconhecimento facial automatizado para a Uber em Portugal por estes dias

@al_antdp Os franceses de uma certa geração adoram vandalizar...

Espectáculo decadente em Paris. Tristeza

@al_antdp Para o sistema de saúde, das reformas e pensões, e para a economia como um todo.

Novidade do camandro. Finalmente alguém viu o problema.

@al_antdp APAGUEM AS LUZES. Isto é horrível.

Nos anos 70 a corgy toys tinha carros menos feios

@slb_tigas @Sofia87fern @Luso_Boy A diferença é que geralmente nesses o dono enriquece.

@Sofia87fern @Luso_Boy Sim, porque nos restaurantes de luxo não é igual

Pois… eu vou ali ao tascoso da esquina comer uma boa comida portuguesa e não uma “experiência”…🤡🤡

@Luso_Boy Ora. Só por causa das tosses, li isto enquanto comia umas bifanas de Vendas Novas na Casa Boavista. Antes já tinha marcado um empada de galinha e tido junto com uma imperial. No final uma queijadinha de leite.

@Pinboard @StephenFleming @AirFranceKLM @united Kinda like a surprise box. With clothes or whatever in there.

@StephenFleming @AirFranceKLM Wow. @united would have just given you some other passenger's suitcase.

Kudos to @AirFranceKLM. They destroyed my wife’s suitcase (stuff happens), so we trudged to the service desk. I was hoping for some duct tape and expected to fill out a form where, maybe, they’d send me twenty bucks in six weeks or so. Nope! The friendly and efficient clerk apologized for the damage, measured our suitcase, went into the back room, and returned with a brand-new suitcase, the same size, still in the shrink wrap. We swapped the contents right there and rolled out of baggage claim with the new suitcase. Nicely done. That’s the sort of service I’d expect from Singapore Air, not a European carrier. (By the way, what happened to @SamsoniteUSA? Apparently they’re no longer gorilla-proof…)

@al_antdp @zeno_1972 A inveja ficou de tal forma institucionalizada que até às Finanças por empréstimos abaixo de certas taxas aplicam IRS como se fosse recebimento em espécie. E não só a esses benefícios como a outros.

@al_antdp @zeno_1972 inveja e do se eu não tenho mais ninguém pode dá nisto.

Foi preciso o Álvaro chegar a governador para a imprensa descobrir que os trabalhadores do BdP têm condições de crédito mais favoráveis q o comum cidadão (tal como os funcionários dos bancos comerciais). Qualquer dia descobrem q o mesmo se passa na CP, TAP e muitas empresas privadas em temas relativos as suas atividades

@GamewithDave Yes and it the was the GTA I spent most hours and most fun.

Are you old enough to remember when GTA was like this?

@al_antdp Isto é verdadeiro? Hoje em dia com a geração de imagens por IA nunca se sabe. Feita por ambos os lados da barricada.

O ensandecimento é universal

@al_antdp Falta aí uma terceira hipótese. Terceiro mandato de Trump.

O que é que vai estar pronto mais cedo?

@BrunoBulletin @seyikanbai Fuck I'm not rich and I would never recognize the guy... Guess I'm twice as poor then.

@seyikanbai Imagine being rich enough to sit courtside but too out of touch to know one of the biggest stars on earth. Having billionaire money clearly doesn't buy you a pulse on actual culture.

A wealthy white billionaire and his wife were seated courtside right next to Drake. The jumbotron kept flashing Drake on the screen, and eventually the man leaned over and asked him if he was famous.

@al_antdp A medida é boa e funciona. Noutros países estes episódios de doença de curta duração também funcionam assim. Agora nada impede o estado de fiscalizar quem atinge o limite vários anos consecutivos. Mas falar de fiscalização no tema da saúde para muita gente é igual a perseguição.

Penso que foi uma medida bem intencionada do governo Costa. Faz todo o sentido num país onde o SNS tem dificuldade em fazer face a todas as solicitações. Problema: corre o risco de abuso num país de oportunistas
