Nota: Este artículo lo comencé a trabajar para publicarlo como parte del trabajo del Seminario Construcción Colaborativa del Conocimiento. Al ver que era pertinente e indicado para su inclusión en mi columna para la revista SoftwareGurú, lo utilicé ahí también — Pero tuve que reducirlo a menos de la mitad de su extensión original. Aquí lo presento completo, en una versión muy similar a la que será publicada como resultado del Seminario, refiriendo hacia aquí a los lectores interesados de la revista. Como archivos adjuntos (al final) encontrarán también la versión de SoftwareGurú. <h1>Voto electrónico</h1> <p>La postura que ante las...

Among the many columns and lesser sections of my favorite national newspaper I enjoy reading the Centenaria column — Notes published one hundred years ago in Mexico City local newspapers. A couple of decades ago, we started having policletos on the streets — “Policías bicicletos”. Cops on bikes. I don’t know if we had policletos as a continuous presence before that, but I do remember it being somewhat controversial in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Anyway, this snippet (and sadly I cannot capture the 1910 writing style in English) was a joy to read: January 18, 1910 Good results...
Five out of six experts agree: It. Is. Cold. No, we are far from this very impressive picture of a fully-snowed UK seen from the sky that everybody and their dog must have seen by now. Still, in Mexico City we are experiencing the traditional one-or-two-weeks-a-year where it is genuinely cold. And, very strange being this Winter (the rainy season is Summer around here, January should be dry!) we have rain all day long. The Ajusco mountain is around 15Km south from my home, and it is the closest of the giants that surround our valley. Yesterday I managed to...
Looking over some articles in the March 2009 issue of the Communications of the ACM magazine, I found a very good piece column (Is software engineering engineering?, Denning, Peter J., and Riehle Richard D. , Communications of the ACM, 03/2009, Volume 52, Number 3, p.24-26, (2009) ). Quoting from it: The search for an alternative to the programmer image is already a generation old. In 1989 we asked: Are we mathematicians? Scientists? Engineers? We concluded that we are all three. We adopted the term "computing", an analogue to the European "informatics", to avoid bias towards any one label or description....
