There is a Spanish Judge (Emilio Calatayud) that does something similar[1][2]. I wonder if that is a kind of School of Lawn.

Are you implying that several hundred of people (guided by Hernán Cortés) killed 5 million of people?

The New Spain conquest (current Mexico) was done with the help of natives that hated Aztecs. Even with the help of gunpowder it would have been almost impossible to achieve that body count. Thus, the Spanish Crown wanted the help of the Catholic Church, so it promises keep the population to christianize them.


Not a lawyer but if you have signed a contract that clearly binds any development you do in your work laptop to your company you work for.

It is not a breach of contract but you have given intelectual property of any software you coded in your laptop.

I suppose you can speak with your manager and the legal team and ask them to release the code you coded with a license compatible with the project you collaborated. If the focus of that project is different from the focus/market of the company you can talk them into this and make them accept a once-in-a-lifetime exception.

Good luck!


Congratulations! I was getting depressed reading your story but you made a nice comeback!


There are some startups in Madrid[1], also, apply with LinkedIn and Glassdoor[2] to companies in Spain[3]. Speaking English and somewhat-entendible Spanish you shouldn't have any problem getting and interview. Indeed your English native level can be an asset.

Thus, you should bring to the interviews that have experience working in USA. I think that is pretty valued in Spain.

On the other hand, Madrid seems to have an American expat community, there are some meetups [4][5] and facebook groups, etc.

Don't know about Barcelona.

Good luck!

[3] I know you want to work for a startup but Amazon is in Madrid, maybe you are interested in that?

Stupid question, would it have some sense to use a big array of these microcontrollers to create an actual chip neural network?


Would only make sense as an art project, imo. If you want to run neural networks on micro-controllers, one ARM Cortex M4F (or M7/H7) will get you pretty far. Audio Classification with tens of classes, as well as low-resolution image classification.


I think that somebody would have united all native populations against the Aztecs. An European or else.


Please, could you also educate them and tell them that Spain is a country in Europe? It seems that many US-americans believe Spanish is a race (whatever they think a "race" is) instead a nationality.


Nobody in the US think Spanish is a race rather than a nationality. There's an artificial "Hispanic" term politicians invented to encompass all Spanish speakers.

Ignorant Americans may conflate all from Central America as "Mexicans", but that's about it.

Most Americans who never studied the Spanish language are probably ignorant of the differences between Castilian Spanish and Spanish as used in the Americas.


Differences between "Castillian Spanish" (I don't like that term at all, more on that on [1]) and Latin-American Spanish are only on pronunciation of some consonants. The Royal Spanish Academy (Real Academia Española) accepts allow all of those dialects as rightful variants of Spanish language.

[1] What some politicians call "Castillian Spanish" is the Spanish language spoken in all parts of Spain. It is idiotic to call "Castillian" to a language were some dialects of Spanish (West/East-Andalusian and Canarian [from Canary Islands]) are very similar to Latin-American Spanish.


Both race and nationality are social constructs. Countries too.


Would you call "British" or "English" to a US-American citizen based on their language, then?


Greate game. As a backend developer, is amazing that you did that in 24 hours.

PD: the music is the best part of the game, perfect for coding :)


Thank you. Hey, I'm also a backend developer by day ;-)


Any way to print this manual or buy a hard copy?


It should be possible to build a PDF from source. The setup guide is here: https://github.com/DS-100/textbook/blob/master/SETUP.md

I tried the following in a python 3.7 virtual environment, but it didn't quite work:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends npm calibre jekyll ca-certificates
  git clone https://github.com/DS-100/textbook
  cd textbook
  pip install -r requirements.txt
  pip install datascience # due to version conflict
  pip install --upgrade folium # due to version conflict
  pip install beautifulsoup4
  pip install lxml py-mathjax # not sure if these are needed
  sudo npm install -g gitbook-cli
  sudo gitbook fetch
  sudo gitbook install
  make build


I'd assume because you have the --no-install-recommends flag on your apt-get call. Maybe something you're doing requires the recommended (but not dependent) packages. I haven't done it yet, but that's my assumption at first glance, so take it with a grain of salt.


Sorry, I misled you a bit there. I didn't actually use that flag when I did it, as I already had the packages installed.
