   All my life people commented or made fun of my Portuguese accent. I'm from [way up in] the north but work in Lisbon and I don't need to utter more than a sentence for people to start asking "where are you from?". It&#x2

    "Violently average" oof Great website to share with my non-tech friends and family, they're tired of my rants but this is very well articulated. Any chances of including other languages for wider reach?

    +1 for Mia Couto and José Luís Peixoto. Other comment in this thread mentioned Luis Fernando Veríssimo, which I also recommend.

    José Rodrigo dos Santos in the same list as Eça de Queirós is offensive. Rodrigo dos Santos is the Portuguese-version of Dan Brown, not a literary giant.

    Not an authority in Roman history but looking at the Iberian map, the Roman city of Conimbriga is not modern day Coimbra, it was around 15km away from it. It's actually Aeminium [0] This makes me a bit suspicious of the overall quality

    never read it but Machado de Assis is considered one of the greatest Brazilian writers of all times and it's somewhat required reading if studying literature in any Brazilian university

    The damned pigeons don't come to the balcony when I'm there, and make a mess everywhere. I don't want to hurt them just that they hang somewhere else! My background is anthropology but I've always worked as a data analys

    I'm trying to learn something about deep learning and do an end-to-end project with computer vision. I have a raspberry pi and picamera and wanted to detect the pigeons in my balcony and then play a sound or something to shoo them away
