tbh not always, at one public library I went to I was asked to pay a membership fee, even though I only wanted to sit at a desk with my laptop

If you are looking to relocate to Spain the typical sites for tech jobs are LinkedIn and InfoJobs.

I know that already, tecnoempleo was just a site I was redirected to by one of the job postings on LinkedIn.

Good luck!

Thank you!

tbh I'm not from Spain so I haven't come across describing disability as a number before. but because this is an official designation as you said, now this makes perfect sense

Measuring tools started from 0 way before the digital era

that's true, but when you're measuring something the value you get is a cardinal, not an ordinal. I agree that we have been using 0 as a cardinal for a long time. however, we've been using 0 as an ordinal only since 1950s

people think of time as a sequence of events, hence there's 1st (1 o'clock), 2nd (2 o'clock) and so on until the 12th (12 o'clock)

this, but also, while the number 0 to denote absence of something has been the norm for some time, counting from zero wasn't much of a thing before the digital era

edit: more to support my theory, before the 1950s (the advent of computing) zero wasn't really used as an ordinal at all

thanks for the caption on the image, I lowkey didn't know what I was looking at

I love this

why can't we use passkeys instead of passwords though? is it just a matter of convenience? if so, maybe there is a way to determine a passkey from a password?

please correct me if i'm wrong on this. lots of people here saying that it's not practical because we would have to trust tiny instances that may be malicious. however, what if we make user's identity provable to anyone, simply by the use of logic? suppose we have a way of generating random proof-theorem pairs (for example, the theorems could be something like "the largest proper factor of n is greater than some m, where m and n are some huuuuuge numbers and n is semiprime", the proofs could be constructive). we let the identity be the theorem and the password be the proof. hence, anyone is able to verify the indentity by the use of a theorem prover like Agda

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QT_interval

The QT interval is a measurement made on an electrocardiogram used to assess some of the electrical properties of the heart. (...) An abnormally long or abnormally short QT interval is associated with an increased risk of developing abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death.

QTc stands for QT corrected for heart rate, the medication that increases QTc will increase the risk of certain dangerous heart conditions.
