No, I meant that they wanted a separate political entity (or at least Moriscos' leaders wanted that). As you can guess, they were assumed to be traitors and expelled of Spain. > But let’s say for a moment you might even be passably

As a Spaniard my 2 cts: - The law had an expiration date for sure (don't know why). Maybe to avoid convenience nationality acquisitions? - "Why would the descendants of Spanish Muslims not have the same opportunity if the objectiv

Does MOOCs do a big impact in your career after 10-15 years in the workforce? Most of them (from software-related topics) are about foundational topics and introduction to technologies. I suppose it is to get more students enrolled in the M

It's interesting that Alfonso X chose Galician as a poetic language instead of the most common one among their subjects (Spanish). He had Galician in a higher standard that Spanish. That's amazing considering the impact he had in

I'm amazed of this release because, does Nintendo even sell gameboy consoles right now? So are they targeting retro-clone handheld owners or what? What would you say is the best retro-clone handheld console to play Gameboy games?

When I studied in Spain 20 years ago I had a mandatory Compilers course in my degree's curriculum. After Bologna's Process[1], it has stayed the same, there is indeed at least one compilers/interpreters course. [1] https:&#x

I worked for many years with MySQL and then started working in a company that used PostgreSQL. Things I liked from PostgreSQL: - Better SQL standard support (modernish?). - JSONB type, also with indexes! Very useful to have JSON field

I have no idea about compilers, so bear with me with this question: Can't we have a faster compiler for a subset of Python? I mean AFAIK the hard part of Python is that the language allows dynamic overwriting of attributes (or somethin
