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

I found this chart on reddit some time ago, I thought to repost it here as well

 

is it a complicated process? why do some instances support several alternative frontends while others don't?
