@Nanoochoa @dieworkwear te ves lindo igual

@qlquanle @alz_zyd_ Springsteen prefers "fair" (low) initial prices to keep fans happy, and TM / AXS / etc encourage people to resell tickets on their platforms, actually taking a cut of every transaction of the same ticket, so they stand to gain from scalpers currently IMO.

@dannyamerikaner @BATennisCom @MiamiOpen @janniksin @atptour Gracias Danny, siempre me gusta ver este resumen.

@Nanoochoa (it is not; you were correct the first time)

@MichelaTincani Not an "app" per se, but in 2021 I developed a chatbot that talked via WhatsApp. Hired a team that included two devs (front & back), plus QA. It cost me almost 10k for the equivalent of five combined weeks of work. So on average I paid ~50 USD per hour. These were Chilean devs.

@Cucho Yup. I love books and the "meta" surrounding them. Sure, if it's a long, dry list of names I'll skip it. However, more often than not acknowledgements tell a short story of the people involved in the creation of the book that I'm about to read, and I enjoy that.

@ClubLeftTennis @usopen and don't get me started on ticket resells... a ground pass for tomorrow is at 280 rn, insane

[Álvaro Carril @alvcarril]

@usopen You guys shot yourself in the foot by not making it live.

A random draw is not necessarily balanced, but now every dimwit here is going cry "rigged"—people don't understand random unless they see it.

Also, @TennisPodcast said it best: why not make a spectacle out of it?

[Álvaro Carril @alvcarril]

@jmgmoron La gente busca explicaciones y conspiraciones para todo. "Aleatorio" no implica "parejo". Se tiró el dado y ya.

Estoy contigo que debería hacerse público el sorteo, por (percepción) de transparencia, pero más porque es emocionante para los que seguimos el deporte de cerca

@Nanoochoa @chrisalbon there's an updated version! https://t.co/sKanYOl5J7

I only see this

Feeling dystopian yet?

@rolandgarros @NicoJarry Jarry had an amazing run and achieved a career high ranking of 28. Didn't play his best tennis today against Ruud, but I feel it's only going to be upwards and onwards for Nico now!

[Álvaro Carril @alvcarril]

@austinc3301 no interpretes mi like @austinc3301

[Álvaro Carril @alvcarril]

@TennisPodcast "Don't underestimate form": Jarry just won Geneva with b2b wins over Dimitrov, Zverev and Ruud, and he's had a good first half of the year on clay. Now that bottom half is looking wide open, and QF wouldn't surprise me with the level his displaying now.

[Álvaro Carril @alvcarril]

@tenis_chile tremendo! está confirmado Jarry para RG?

@seema_econ - easier to do simultaneous editing
- faster to compile a single section than entire paper
- replacing terms is easy with a text editor that can search/replace across project files; same for moving text
- comparing lang is always necessary, separate files or not
- better for git

[Álvaro Carril @alvcarril]

@mariaelenaguer gotta love that you listed it first of a long list
