Of judges, aliens and total preorders

I created this synopsis of some ideas from the paper “How to Revise a Total Preorder” by Booth and Meyer during the seminar on “Representation and processing of uncertain knowledge with logic-based methods” at the University of Hagen. The slides are from my final presentation of the topic (and might be more or less useless on their own). Abstract Adapting one’s world view in the light of new information is a central skill of intelligent agents....

How to kill a dragon

“You’ll never forget your first dragon” used to be the promise of Tibia, a free 2D-MMO I played as a young teenager. I spend day after day playing Tibia, training skills with friends and exploring the world and still… never got to kill a dragon. Coming back With nostalgia rekindled by quickly burning out on WoW: Shadowlands I tried to check in my old account. Sadly, I did not only forget the password but also lost control of my email address....

Wisdom from the Internet, content that influenced how I think about software (and life).

Finding needles There has never been as much information easily accessible to anyone as right now. The ease of publishing your own writing leads to new problems: The question is no longer where do you find content about a topic but what content is good and worth your time? To help you find the needle in the biggest haystack ever, here is my personal list of good content that influenced me....

Machine learning basics: Machine Learning by Stanford University (Coursera) review and notes

The popularity of machine learning, data science and related disciplines is exploding and with it the amount of courses, books, block posts etc you are exposed to. I recently finished the relatively old but highly rated course Machine Learning by Stanford University on Coursera and wanted to take the chance to offer my review and notes I took. The course Although the course is old enough to be referred to as “classic” by quite a few descriptions I have read it is timeless in the sense that most good introductions are....

Analyzing twitter: Import tweets with NodeJS and the twitter API

A tweet in the database is worth two in the API Working with tweets from the twitter API probably means importing data into your own database - the standard API does not provide historical data (only the last seven days) and has various rate limits. So regardless of the final goal in this blog we’ll explore importing tweets from the API into a database for future use. All done with NodeJS, written in Typescript and utilizing MongoDB as data store....

Build a docker image on gitlab ci and publish it to google container registry

In previous blogposts I explained my concept of a personal cloud for my own projects (Kubernetes for Sideprojects) and how I set it up (Run a personal cloud with Traefik, Let’s encrypt and Zookeeper). I also showed how I packaged a PWA project with docker (Build a PWA in docker). With all those ingredients ready to go the last hurdle to solve is building the docker image automatically as well as publishing it to a private container registry so I can deploy it to my cloud from there....
