That was after the Spanish authorities were kicked out of that region. The New Laws and Laws of the Indies, which had been in place for nearly three centuries by then, forbade such actions.

You're right. I've lived in Norway and was repeatedly told by Norwegians the country used to be poor, something I believed (there isn't much in Norway that reminds of a wealthy past). Apparently it's just a myth [1][2].

Norway used to be a relatively poor country by Western European standards but had a functional economy before oil. Homogeneity, a staunchly hard-working and independent population, being surrounded by lutheran economies, and "bondevett

Mark supposedly said, according to Engels: "if they are Marxists, then I am not a Marxist", referring to the French socialist movement and his son-in-law, which he thought of as not radical enough, not as a rebuttal of his ideas o

Is there any region of the world that respects SAHM besides Scandinavian countries? I feel like this is one of the most important issues we're facing today. Separating kids from their parents for most of the day after three months can&

The tweets didn't come from his handle. They were using the same image and name but what really caught my attention was that those accounts had a blue verified badge.

I love this thread. Personally I use Twitter to follow people who write interesting tweets about programming, but the trending sidebar tries very hard to make anybody anxious.

Yes, or rather: avoid that the blacklist becomes an individual user's fingerprints. Appreciate any suggestions on how to approach that.

No, I mean, in what way can this feature be implemented and avoid sharing any PII (assuming the list itself is not PII, since that list could potentially be the same used by other users)? What about a text file hosted somewhere, and the onl

From a UI perspective, how would this be implemented in a privacy friendly manner?

Solar power is alive and kicking in Spain and increasingly more cost effective (removing the need of subsidies since 2018).

That's actually the reality for a lot of Mesopotamian tablets, e.g "this cow was sold to the neighbor for 2 shekels of silver".

The idea behind libs like htmx is that you get to have some of the niceties of a SPA, without writing any JS and requiring minimal computational power from the client.

Tailwind has a class for almost everything, which makes it quite heavy: 1600kb minified. In my experience you end up with ≤ 15kb of minified CSS after running PurgeCSS anyway, so this is not an issue. Personally I prefer Tailwind because yo

Hey - thanks. I'm also happy with the Dennis Ritchie portrait. As a "hobbyist" it took me some time to get that portrait right! I'll be adding Ken Thompson soon and most likely will add Charles Babbage to that list at so

My point is simple: If the US had not severed ties with Cuba and instead engaged with Fidel (as he initially tried to do with the US), chances are Cuba wouldn't have alienated itself with the Soviet Union, and Christians (and everybody

On the contrary. I think our leaders should spend more time together. Maybe they should even vacation together. The US severed economic ties with Cuba in the 60s and look what happened (only recently celebrating Christmas became legal, and

I learned Unreal Engine for a pet project and Google App Engine. The later (app engine) I more or less was forced to use and had lots of problems with it.

Sad truth. I feel like this is very generational though. Where I live (Spain) adults and older people are generally very sweet towards kids, they really appreciate the presence of kids. The younger generation already has a much colder/

I believe the low birth rates among higher earners has to do with the simple fact that high earners are more carrier oriented (for various reasons). It's hard to educate yourself and bring up children at the same time (my wife is curre

I get your point but Stalin was not an intellectual and has never been considered one, not even by the Intelligentsia and much less by western intellectuals. It's not a case of good or bad, the man simply wasn't very bright. I wel

I wouldn't talk about the evidently poor quality of this article. What I truly don't understand is how repulsive and intellectually poor topics like Stalin get to be #1 on the front-page. Surely people wouldn't have upvoted t
