It seems learning Rust is a must. What would you say is the best resource for learning Rust if I'm only experienced in interpreted languages?

We are talking about XV-XIX centuries. Most countries had different levels of "iron fist" population control for a segment of their population. It could be control of women, poor people, people of different ethnicity, jews, etc. W

I don't think it was "rightous anger", but the hate against jews were commonplace in Medieval Ages. That also involves Spain of course. Until recently, most people were extremely racist/prejudiced against "the other

Sadly, anti-semitism was rampant in medieval Europe and I would say that it was present until XX century [1], and massacres of jews were popular among all countries, e.g.: - 1066 Granada Massacre (Granada was a Muslim Kingdom at that ti

Are we going to see old refurbished devices be sold as distraction-free machines? Does a new market for somewhat-luddite computers exist? I'd like to buy something like the freewrite [1] but cheaper, any suggestions? [1] https:/&

Yes, Mozarabs were allowed to stay but many of them fled to the northern christian kingdoms > In 1126, a great number of Mozarabs were expelled to North Africa by the Almoravids. Other Mozarabs fled to Northern Iberia. This constituted t

Well, it was an organization with the aim of controlling the population not extermination. It was bad of course, and most population despised it. Many politicians (liberals) tried to abolish it, but the conservatives counter-attacked severa

The martyrdom is an idea entangled in the Christian culture, more so in the Medieval Age. So, yes it could be.

Interesting. Most of the cuisine of Spain has some traces of the people's that lived/conquered/immigrated to Spain: salted fish (Phoenicians), olive oil (Greeks), wine (Romans), paella (Arabs), etc. On the other side, I hate

You have to start somewhere. If a name is not a good name, society should be pushing for a change of that name. It doesn't matter if it's because racism (Cleveland Indians case) or bad taste (Spanish Flu).

I'm suggesting that calling a disease with the name of a nationality is as bad as a slur. The same can be said by calling Syphilis "the French disease". You can flag my comment if you want, I simply don't care. I have ma

I'm not sure how being more precise when calling a disease is related to "identity politics". I'm asking for being more rigorous when naming things, not second-hand guessing like this article.

No, Spain was the only country that did not censor the press. The virus did not have origin in Spanish territory. USA, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France and UK all had a strong grip on the news.

How many pandemics did happen in 1918?

I'm mildly annoyed by journalists calling "Spanish Flu" where the 1918 Flu Pandemic had no relationship with Spain. The author could have titled the piece as "Covid-19 overtakes 1918 flu pandemic as deadliest disease in
