Curious that I selected one repository and claude design chose another to work on 🤣

Eu podia morar em qualquer lugar do mundo... Nova York. Miami. Lisboa. Dubai. Escolhi o Brasil 🇧🇷 Moro em Florianópolis. Passei os últimos 12 anos indo e voltando entre os Estados Unidos e o Brasil. Cada vez que voltava pros EUA, a contagem regressiva pra voltar começava no aeroporto. Aqui eu janto com amigos às 22h numa terça-feira e ninguém olha o relógio. Aqui o desconhecido no elevador puxa conversa de verdade, não só "how are you" com resposta automática. Aqui o churrasquinho de calçada às 18h com um guaraná gelado tem mais qualidade de vida do que qualquer restaurante de US$200 em Manhattan. Aqui eu saio de casa de chinelo, tomo um café na padaria da esquina, e volto caminhando pela mar. Aqui a natureza não é um parque que você visita no fim de semana. É a sua vida. Praia, montanha, trilha, cachoeira... tudo a 20 minutos. Nos Estados Unidos, as pessoas vivem pra trabalhar. Aqui, as pessoas trabalham pra viver. E ninguém pede desculpa por isso. O Brasil tem seus problemas. Eu sei. Eu vivo eles todo dia. Mas nenhum problema apaga o fato de que as pessoas aqui sabem viver. Sabem rir. Sabem acolher. Sabem transformar qualquer momento num momento bom. Isso não se compra. Não se exporta. Não se replica. É por isso que eu estou aqui.

@AlpacaAurelius 🇧🇷

before the 1980s everyone was hot and healthy despite eating more, smoking more and drinking more... WTF happened

@OfficialLoganK Congrats on the recent updates in the Google AI Studio dashboard. It's been a while since I used and tried today... better experience and performance.

IBM Z is the current version of the System/360 mainframe introduced in 1964. It now has AI embedded and is growing its installed base at a rapid clip (bottom left gray bars). Important to understand this when thinking about enterprise software today: it's sticky and adaptable.

@kevin_sakemaer what are the services that use dart in the backend?

@rubensdemelo and yet a lot of service in the dart ecosystem use a dart backend. it's not becayse a service to host your dart backend fail that you should not use dart on the backend that is absolutely not related, it's like saying one road is closing let not use car at all, complete non sense

The fact that you can use Dart in the backend, doesnt mean you should use it. We have seen a lot of initiatives to use Dart in the backend and no one suceed

@aloisdeniel we should Java 🤣

@rubensdemelo Should we use JavaScript? It looks like it works for most people. 😅

@kevin_sakemaer the road to the backend is still open, but you can choose a different car. as you said, for some situations dart is a valid option, for sure, however, in general, no. otherwise, even Firebase would have added Dart runtime years ago. imo

@riyazmd774 Im afraid you are a bit outdated. Google Flights is now powered by @Gemini and you can easily find flights and accomodations directly from the “source”. Prompt with you availability, destination and preferences.

R.I.P. GOOGLE FLIGHTS IN 2026. R.I.P. BOOKING DOT COM IN 2026. R.I.P. SKYSCANNER IN 2026. $1,412 flight. I paid $186. These 7 ChatGPT prompts quietly break airline pricing:
