Meeting Notes

Questions from Johannes:

  • Version mismatches in dev and prod, should be updated? -> yes
  • Container failed due to migrations -> Create issues when running into problems
  • Apache open file limits -> try with script from Jannis
  • Update rust and nodejs everywhere -> +docu how to do bump

Heatmap algorithm:

  • move the algorithm into separate files, makes it easier to change

We upgrade to:

  • Rust 1.82
  • NodeJS 20.18

Release:

  • release master for now and next goal would be to publish dev

Thesis tips:

  • if you use percentages, often absolute number are needed to make it easier to read
  • Don't be afraid of repetition, the main message needs to be repeated throughout
  • "This, those, these" refers to close objects in sentences, but using names is more clear
  • In English, sentences should not be that long (that's a very German thing to do :)), use different ways to terminate or pause sentences
  • For methodology: write exactly what happened and what you did, don't talk about what could or should be
  • For summarizing numbers: use median instead of arithmetic mean as the median gets rid of outliers
