I built srvquery, a fully typed TypeScript toolkit for querying game servers directly by host and port. It supports Valve A2S, SA-MP/open.mp, FiveM/RedM, Minecraft Java, and Minecraft Bedrock, with typed responses, validation, retries and timeouts. github.com/carlos-menez...

If you maintain a monorepo or work across Mac (Intel + Apple Silicon) and Linux/Windows, you've probably copy-pasted platform-specific commands into your CI or kept a wall of if statements in shell scripts. This is what you need: github.com/carlos-menez... #Node #TypeScript #Programming

TypeScript doesn’t force you to handle all cases of a union type, which can make refactors risky as your codebase grows. In the post, I show a simple pattern using never to make the compiler fail when a case is missing. #TypeScript #SoftwareEngineering

Mourinho's biggest change in his first Benfica game was with the full-backs: they overlapped more, and their heatmaps show they spent much more time in the opposition half.

Ronaldo scored his 933rd career goal. This got me thinking that, in an era of oligarchs and sheiks, no one put two of the best ever, together, on the same team—be it for a charity match or for an entire league season.

Manchester United fans believe that a change of managers or a trashing of a dozen players will change the club for good. The reality is that other clubs have caught up (and surpassed) United financially and, more importantly, in Human Resources.

Lage's tactical approach in the first half, especially regarding the marking of (arguably) the best defensive midfielder in the Primeira Liga, is beyond questionable. The amount of space given to Hjulmand is criminal. #Benfica #SportingCP #LigaPortugalBetclic

If every team performs according to their xG/xA metrics in the second half, here's how the table finishes: Sporting CP (70pts, +42) edges a tight title race over Porto (69pts) and Benfica (66pts). Based on matches played before Dec 29th. 🇵🇹 #LIGAnaSPORTTV #ligaportugalbetclic

Here's how the Primeira Liga table looks before Christmas. At the top, it's incredibly tight: Benfica, Sporting, and Porto all within 1 point (38-37-37). On the flipside, the gap to safety isn't huge: just 3 points to between 13th and 18th place.

City vs. United screams draw to me: City dominates possession but struggles to break through, while United relies on counterattacks that lack the final touch. A tale of missed chances on both sides.

On Amorim's debut: the squad lacked intensity & mobility across the pitch. Limited training time + new system needs time to click. System demands heavy movement from front 3 & wingbacks. Players still building fitness. Results will come as they adapt to these tactical demands. Patience needed.
