And that's what happens when you don't double save it.

When someone asks why I like art and computer interest really questions whether I follow a path or another, but I really question them why I cannot follow both. Personally, I know that I following both paths is one of the best things I could do.

In this case,   this is what Dick Gabriel talks about and how this has benefited him I his path of working with computer science.  He mentions that his way of living has opened his perspective in relation to the way computer science works. This is due to the fact that sometimes people have a limited perspective in a specific area and they need something different from it to really understand this and to change the way things bother.

Dick also mentions the way  Lisp has changed and how people who have used it has been influenced by it. There are many other programming languages that have been influenced by the way it thinks and how it has to revolutionize computer science. Anyway, the purpose that this language was created is Artificial Intelligence, but as computers have evolved, this cannot fit the spot they left.This programming language has evolved around  its life and has been changing,  but this  has evolved in other ways. just like  the use of macros and CLOS. Therefore, this language can be compared to some powerful languages such as python or C.

In comparison to what I've been reading on the book, I consider that this language has been tagged into a comfort zone for mathematicians and people who study computer science, but with the right way of teaching it could be easily taught at schools (not the first years of elementary, but at some point in the middle). Also not as the level and speed we are been taught, but with small courses that can be in line with math classes . I think this because some mathematical and computer concepts go along together but people never see this, unless that you belong to these areas, but there are many ways a kid learns and this could make them understand more and even generate interest on these topics.

The ultimate weapon.

As programmers, we have a limited language and an objective to create great things.  I consider that wee needs to understand that in comparison to other careers we have something established and that needs to be understandable to everyone else without rodeos.  Up to this moment at the University we have been taught many programming languages, the way to use them, the internationality that they have and the many ways we can use to solve a problem. We are the society of limited language but great imagination. There are some good practices that as developers we need to follow, such as making the code as understandable as possible, to generate the documentation, to describe what we are doing and so on, so that people who read our code can easily understand it and make the proper changes in the correct time. But sometimes, people do not understand it and generate the code as hard as they can, so that their ideas cannot be stolen.  The problem with developers who do this is that the li

This is a man's world,but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman

All my life I've been compared to my brother and since I remember this has been a problem in my anxiety. Anyway, this way of living made that I developed an interest in the STEM areas.  In this case, I felt that's many fragments in the reading became part of my everyday thoughts. In this case, what we can remember about history is that it is been told by the winners or the people in power,  and normally in a patriarchal way of living sometimes women get erased in this story. That was the case of many women in many different areas, companies, and countries. Anyway, they have been moments in history that women had to take some jobs even though they were not prepared for them (or society).  That' was the case of many well-known programmers and generations of women who had to work in these areas. I consider that  this  is also seen in a country that had participated actively in  the development  of new technology and  in some specific moment in history.   I think that

But Mom, I just want to be Popular

This podcast was about the way Clojure was developing. I consider that the way Rich Hickey explains it is quite simple and tries to convince the audience that this programming language and way of programming is quite good, useful and simple. In this case, he explains since the use of Lisp, and how it was really popular in the 1970s,  but as computers become more complex, could do more with less and requiring more complex programs the multiparadigm languages lost the battle. Anyway, he tries to expose the way he and the java developers try to make a great comeback with this programming language. This is due to the fact that it got advantages and some other applications among some programming languages. In this case, I can compare this programming language with Mathematica, a programming language (that people consider software to compute math problems)  that can do as much as Clojure can, but with the limitations that you should understand the way the math works and the way the comp
