Is there an actual difference between compiling and building?

Both terms are used daily in software development environments: "F***, compiling takes forever," or "Did you build after that last change?"... In reality, they're used pretty much the same way — and I’m guilty of that too. But, is it actually correct to refer to compiling and building a project as if they meant the same thing?

¿Hay alguna diferencia entre compilar y 'buildear'?

Ambos términos se usan a diario en ambientes de desarrollo de software: "J****, cuánto tarda en compilar.", "¿Has buildeado después de ese último cambio?"... Realmente, se utilizan casi del mismo modo, y yo me incluyo en esto. Pero, ¿es realmente correcto referirse indistintamente a compilar o buildear un proyecto como si significase lo mismo?

Computer vision #2 | Image acquisition, characterization and interpretation

From the moment an image is captured until some information is inferred, various subprocesses are at work. These process the image as a set of pixels to classify and interpret different groups of pixels based on certain criteria. In short, they try to “identify” which objects are contained in a given scene.

Computer vision #1 | A brief introduction to computer vision

This is the first "chapter" of what will be a small series about computer vision—a very extensive area of technological knowledge that has caught my attention. I do not plan to follow a content script, so I will decide what to publish as time goes on. I am dedicating a lot of effort and care to studying it, so I hope that, as a reader, you enjoy it, share it, and, above all, learn something new each time.

The origin of the so-called 'bugs'

We have all heard of bugs: errors in software that prevent or disrupt its correct behavior. But how did this term come about? There is certainly not much relation between a bug and a problem. And although for some people there is, I am referring to other types of mishaps.

Decrypt HTTPS (TLS) traffic using the SSL Key Log File | Wireshark @Windows 10

To go through the following practice, services offered by a network traffic capturer will be required. I opted for Wireshark, which can be downloaded from its official site https://www.wireshark.org/#download. It is easy to install and free to use.
