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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...
