And if you don't know what shot-plotter.netlify.app is: its a free, open-source tool by me to make it easier to compile locational event data in sports. Its super easy to use right out of the box, but has a bunch of customizability to suit near anything you want to do. Check it out!

So nice to see so many duck enthusiasts in one place and to meet Koen again! I really enjoyed my time at #DuckCon

I was not able to put together a project for this years #BigDataCup in time for the deadline but I played around a lot with importing, cleaning the data and even engineering some features using #DuckDB.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I built 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝘁-𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿, a custom React component for Streamlit for working with soccer tracking data. And a blog post on 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮, 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀

A list of literally any other conf or community that would be a better use of your time than ssac:

BIG DATA CUP IS BACK stathletes.com/big-data-cup

I was looking over my hopeless hoard of bookmarks the other day and decided to make it a little more useful by curating my favourites into a more evergreen list of recommended reading/watching. Enjoy! tanho.ca/recs

My favorite place of all the places to be. 🥰

Guinness in Ireland actually tastes better than elsewhere and the Teeling distillery is a cool visit!

"Ach Elon, nein nein nein. So lassen die dich da nicht rein. Und wenn ich dir was raten darf: Money can't buy you love" - Von Wegen Lisbeth (Elon, 2022)

I usually think I have a good taste in music and then constantly get reminded that what I listen to is only scraping the surface of the music cosmos

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #184,100!

I don’t get all the hate for Handball at the Olympics

Zum Glück hat Elon noch nicht von Peter Fox und Von wegen Lisbeth gehört.

I wrote a systems design post & memoriam for @capfriendly.bsky.social - what made it popular and how the website internals worked. I hope this gives people a technical appreciation of the hard work they did! danny.page/views/CapFri...

Nia Archives is one of the coolest artists I recently started listening to. And she’s a star!!!

When people started marking connections to the people that love or breakup songs are about that kinda ruined the whole thing.

Ich bin weiterhin kein Fasnachtsmensch.

I grew up in some kind of carnival epicenter but I will never really get all the fascination. But it’s probably similar how other people can’t comprehend my sports fandom.

Take a look at PREDATOR our Big Data Bowl project.

@schenkersilvia.bsky.social Hey Silivia, ich fand deinen Beitrag zu den 130 Joor Podcasts richtig schön. Ich denke auch oft über diese Liedzeile nach. Ich glaube, dass jeder FCB Fan es schon immer in sich hat, aber es erst später merkt. Somit sind solche Personen auch mit der Liedzeile mitgemeint.

Always dreamed about posting my graduation Picture on Twitter but it does not feel like the right place to do that anymore. Anyway: University of Basel CS ‘23

Really enjoyed meeting everyone at StatsBomb conference. It is really cool that things like exist.

London is quite ok if there is not a royal funeral.

I am at StatsBomb conference tomorrow, looking forward to meet people! Gonna drain all of my social battery capacities.

Nichts erwartet und trotzdem enttäuscht. #rotblaulive

@evolvingwild.bsky.social I learned about Regex at work but also was content in my "Theory of Computer Class" in connection to Turing machines.
