Ethical Reflection on Ready Player One

I deeply believe that creating something like this, something of such magnitude, would really be fascinating and incredible, having so much information and all the people in one place, traveling through different fantasies and besides everything, free, that better than a place like that, where the only thing you need (the most basic equipment) is a viewer and an internet connection. I would probably spend a lot of time in that reality, something that would be bad, because in my opinion, it is living a false life, as the quotes say, and probably that world maynot become terrible, but the real world may become terrible. People so obsessed with the game can get to do many things in order to have the best items in the game or to be the best, etc. Despite not having something like OASIS, I believe that there are already many people who live immersed in technology, not only in games, also in their computers or more commonly in their mobile devices, there can not be a family meal because several They are lost in their smart phones.
Of the films mentioned I have only two fresh, and most of these, their worlds are chaotic, having humanity on the verge of death, surviving everything that comes their way, and seeing it that way, from my perspective, I think it's not a bad idea to have a place to take refuge. I do not know what would be more depressing, as I appreciate that I have not been in that situation, if you live in a perfect fantasy world or live in a reality where there are shortages and disasters. And as things are in the political aspect (United States of America and North Korea) I do not think it will take us long to cause a disaster of such magnitude that we probably need something like that. But in spite of everything, if there is ever such a thing, I do not believe that something will be as perfect as described in the book, if there can be many things, but not graphics quality or efficiency, as long as a company like Ubisoft (God save us from your bugs) or EA (micro-transactions!) are involved, everything will be fine. The only thing that occurs to me to do something of such magnitude, would be to use microservices for the different transactions that can happen and for the rest, using Client-Server to handle all the behavior. Maybe my view is somewhat "cloudy" with these architectures, because they are the only ones that I have applied for the realization of video games, that is why I could not say, what would be the best option.

An Introduction to Metaprogramming

It is impossible that after reading this article we can´t remember the Programming Languages class. That part of the course when we began to learn about metaprogramming also I remember that in the class’ book were pages that have the quote that said that if is not necessary to create a macro don’t do it or in my case don’t try to do it and this was because that topic is difficult to understand, this topic was not an intuitive knowledge, I think that you need to be a high level programmer in order to make this kind of code. This kind of code calls himself a program that generates other programs or program parts, yes, this sound a bit confusing. So, the professor Ariel Ortiz told us in the Programming Languages class that the people who recommend to don’t use metaprogramming only if it is very necessary are people that don’t know how to create macros and the potential that these tools have and, in the article, we can see reflected that hypothesis of the professor. Even he puts an exam

Understanding the solid principles

This article talks about the SOLID principles which in fact as you known is an acronym that stands for five principles of object-oriented programming and design. Those principles allow us to avoid dependencies. So that means that the more things you depend on the greater the chance of something will go wrong. The principles are: Single Responsibility Principle, Open/Closed Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle and Dependency Inversion Principle. I will talk about them quickly and explain why are they so important in our life as programmers. The single responsibility principle talks about that a class should have exactly one responsibility. That means that we have to have classes with a specific purpose and not mixed classes that if we erase something all the code went wrong or different. The open/closed principle talks about that a class should be open for extension but closed for modification. That means that we have to counter the tendency for

Hidden Figures

In this post, I will discuss the movie that we saw in class: "Hidden Figures" directed by Theodore Melfi in 2016.    It's the second time I've seen Hidden Figures and I can say that it has become one of my favorite movies.  The film tells the story of three African-American women who worked for NASA in the early 1960s, collaborating in an important space program. These brilliant women achieved incredible goals that seemed impossible because they were women and African-Americans. What impresses me about these women is their intelligence, their strength, their perseverance and their struggle that allowed them to demonstrate that they were more than capable of being involved in areas that were considered suitable only for the masculine intellect, such as science, mathematics and engineering. I can identify a little with those great women of that movie, not because of how brilliant they were, but because, despite being in the 21st century, in my care
