Get to know me

What I expect to get from this course is to develop more skills and learn different approaches to solve problems, as well as learning one more programming language.
As for my hobbies... I like boxing, playing guitar, traveling and photography.

Recently I watched Black Mirror Bandersnatch and even though I liked it, I read somewhere the most accurate description: "Millennials discover RPG's" and I find that funny. Other than that, I recently~ish~ read "La soledad de los números primos", fun book that tells you how different/odd/weird/etc people are destined to interact and be together, comparing it with prime numbers' unique relation.

Also waiting for Brooklyn 99's new season...

Ultimate weapon

Ok, here comes I believe the greatest challenge of the blogs of this semester... find a way to relate music, 1984 and programming languages. (This is what I get for using mostly music topics related to lectures/podcasts). The term Newspeak language will be my anchor in order to make these relationships. How? Easy, newspeak language purpose (out of mind control making other thinking ways impossible -teehee-) was to be a bridge between ideas of Ingsoc, let's make a direct relationship between that and experimental music genres. We have always, since the dawn of time, categorized stuff, this applied to music as well, we have been thought that the rock band structure is guitar, vocals, drums and bass, but why? because we always want to set a standard, but what happens when you use a violin arch to play a guitar solo and get a unique constant sound... you get Led Zeppelin's Rock n' Roll's solo, this same idea happens in programming languages, thanks to this course I believ...

Simone Simons

Yet another music reference, let's face it... this is my way of thinking. Women have had a hard time in all aspects throughout history, and coding is not an exception... even though at the very beginning they found within programming a specific niche for them to be involved, rapidly it was devoured by stereotypes and corruption of that closed minded society from before the 90s. Still, they found ways to show how they had their expertise increased greatly for coding, this way happened with some women in music industry, even though in the first half of the 20th century we already had big artists like Aretha Franklin for example, it was still seen sometimes as girls could only sing/dance or just be moms  (italics as I'm not refering to being a mother, I'm referring as the society's role of a mom that must stay in house) this made us have great surprises with those hidden talents people have. Talent by no means is a gender specific matter, even though we have many diffe...

Lisp the mad genius

As you know, I like to use analogies in my posts, mostly music, and this time will be no exception. I think, from the podcast, I have one big learning: "never underestimate what something can do like opening your eyes". Why do I say this? Because I never imagined Lisp was used in AI (I mean, I didn't even know that Lisp was a thing to be honest)... that being said, I felt mirrored with some details, like something out of your professional area can actually help you with that specific area. ...here comes my music analogy... FOR EXAMPLE! Music... music has helped me lots since I was in middle school. I've always like math and music, and as they're brothers from a different father it's been quite a win-win situation. Now what does this have to do with coding? A lot, coding is all about structure (usually), rhythm, rules, discipline, just like music. Now, with functional languages this just goes over the top, I'm struggling with Clojure's structure a...
