Hidden Figures

Movies can become into an interesting resource to present certain stories and events that haven’t been known or not well known In the case of the movie, Hidden Figures , 3 main characters are being presented, which had an important role in history during the first steps of the Space Program in the United States, calculations had to be performed in order to get the right scenario for the rockets to l and. Of course dramatization is presented, it is Hollywood, but with the observation of the created cinematic context it is possible to get into the characters shoes and in a way experience their environment and actions, for that empathy grows, and the observers, see themselves involved into that movie scenario. Speaking of the movie content it is very noticeable the roles women had to endure in certain decades such as the 60’s, and in the sense of the movie, it is shown the context, scenario and roles, black women had to endure during this time. For that, the observer could had a good pe...

Ethical Reflection on Ready Player One

Morrow wrote in his autobiography that he’d left GSS because ... he felt that the OASIS had evolved into something horrible. “It had become a self-imposed prison for humanity,” he wrote. “A pleasant place for the world to hide from its problems while human civilization slowly collapses, primarily due to neglect.” (p. 120) (Halliday speaking) “I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn’t know how to connect with people there. I was afraid, for all of my life. Right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized , as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it’s also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real.” (p. 364) It is an often topic that circulates now a days, about world domination, and what have we done to this planet we live in. Everyone has it’s own way to manipulate their reality and have different perspectives about the world. For some people it is video games, for other people is ...

Metaprogramming

Create a program that writes programs, an interesting tool for optimizing time, generating automated code. I didn’t exactly know what metaprogramming was until today, while reading the article I remembered a program I wrote a while ago, called WAV shifter ( https://github.com/k3ll3x/WAV-shifter/ ), the purpose of this code is to generate algorithmic music using the C language, an endless iterator, and bitwise operators. By looking at the code I see that there exists 3 source codes, play.sh, wavsh.c, wavsh.py ; play.sh is a bash script that executes the compiled c file with an input audio file(that in a way is going to be modified), after that a wav file will be generated, and this is played by the aplay command. Note, this code only works in Unix systems, with pulseaudio installed. The Python file, wavsh.py , takes the source file wavsh.c and replaces a specific space on the source code, changing that with the input string given at the python program, that string could be a variable ...

Microservices

Adaptability is always the answer, depending on the environment is how everything else is going to adapt. In the case of micro services, it is known by a new model for the big monolith replacement, but it is not a replacement, is just another type of architecture that had its benefits because certain features it has, but ensuring that micro services is the only path to follow, causes a problem, this architecture is proper for specific scenarios. In the industry, the massive over use of a new technology is often, for newer creations comes the extended massive usage. At this point other creations or technology can be developed to enter the competition scenario, for now, the old monolithic model is left behind, while micro services models are more used and potential growth is heading that way. As mention before, for some scenarios is viable using micro services, but in not the only alternative, it always depend on what is being worked on. It is true that segmentation and modulation can d...

The Elephant and the Blind Programmers + 4.6 SEM: 4+1 view into software architeture + Six Blind Men

4+1 view, displays the use-case view scenarios for a whole project, it is segmented in 4 counterparts: Logical View, Development View, Process View, and Physical View; with all this view it is possible to view the relations between each stage of the software development, and how it goes the requirements and data through each one of the process for developing software. Performing an analytical architecture. With this structure is possible to actually know what the software is doing. The point of view determine the abstraction of what is observed, defines with certain knowledge what the observed is. The creation of simple models and techniques allows the comprehension of some topics to be easier, and manages to avoid misunderstanding and have a vast scope and complete vision of the whole entity. In the programming criteria perception is an important key factor that creates interpretation by understanding what is observable. Without any resources to analyze the observed is imposs...

Understanding the SOLID Principles

T here exist some principles that make a procedure easier to perform, with this resource, it is viable to create clean products. In programming, exist something called SOLID principles that ensure quality and good performance while developing code, this acronym SOLID are the 5 widely accepted principles: S - S ingle Responsibility Principle A class should have exactly one responsibility. O - O pen/Closed Principle A class or a function should be open for extension but closed for modification. L - L isvok Substitution Principle Keep the relationship between classes and functions. I – I nterface Segregation Principle Avoiding interfaces that overloads classes with responsibilities that this classes don’t actually need. D – D ependency Inversion Principle “ Depend upon abstractions not upon concretions.” By understanding each one of this SOLID Principles, we could manage to create good code, and by good code I mean cleaner code that is maint...

WarGames

How far technology can go? It is an often question everyone ask, including such philosophical questions about we humans and our creations, just like our Frankenstein Monster, our creation could bring chaos to ourselves. We have the power to create and the limit of our creation could be bypass by that same creation. This movie called War Games, bring this topic and it is an actual matter, and now even more because now a days technology had reached tremendous power and capacity that is very impressive, some tasks that we humans cannot do, or maybe as fast, are done by our own creation. Just like the arguments of the Android David in the movies Prometheus and Alien Covenant, David reached a conscious level that defined him to be as he was and committing every action during the movie. It is that self evolution that keeps growing and it hasn’t the same limits as human interpretation has. Another example is this classic movie 2001 A Space Odyssey, from S. Kubrik, HAL 9 000, who has e...
