🇩🇪 — Hi, ich bin Martin Ueding; Physiker, Maschinenlerner,
Softwareentwickler und engagiere mich für die Mobilitätswende. Ich habe
recht früh mit dem Programmieren angefangen und schreibe darüber im
Bereich »Code & Zahlen«. Im Physikstudium bin ich immer weiter in
die Computerphysik gegangen, meine Studiumsunterlagen sind noch immer
Teil dieser Webseite. Nach der Promotion bin ich in die Wirtschaft
gewechselt. Seit dem Abitur habe ich meine Wege mit dem Fahrrad
erledigt, Radtouren unternommen und irgendwann auch Radreisen.
Inzwischen bin ich auch Aktiver im Radentscheid Bonn.
Aktuell schreibe ich am meisten zu Verkehrsthemen, manchmal auch noch
über Wissenschaft, Maschinenlernen oder anderen Dingen, die mir
einfallen. Die eher technischen Dinge schreibe ich meist auf Englisch,
den Rest auf Deutsch.
Man kann mich per E-Mail, Threema oder Telegram kontaktieren, oder mich auf
Mastodon, Pixelfed
und GitHub finden.
🇺🇸 — Hey, I am Martin Ueding, a physicist, software developer,
machine learning researcher and a traffic policy activist from Germany.
On my blog you can find all my physics study
material, mostly English articles about code and numbers. The
articles about traffic policy
are in German.
You can contact me via E-mail, Threema or Telegram. You can also find me on Mastodon, Pixelfed

There is a vast array of computer games available. There are single player
games without a campaign (Tetris, Mine Sweeper) that you can just play without
preparation. Then there are games with a story (The Witcher, Mass Effect,
Bioshock). These solitary games are not the scope of the articles. Rather I am
concerned with multiplayer games. And there are the kind of cooperative games
(Saint's Row, Borderlands, Diablo) and the competitive games (MechWarrior
Online, World of Warships).

These days one can get a lot of books electronically. I am still not sure
whether I prefer books in paper or electronic form. It seems that in principle
I prefer electronic books, but the way that one can actually buy them is
against my preferences. This is is the crucial distinction that will lead to a
conclusion.

Personally and professionally I have seen my fair share of display connectors.
At this point it has a Kafkaesque complexity. At the theory department we have
computers ranging from around 2006 to current ones. This means that we also
have all kinds of display connectors on the workstations and tablets:

My return flight to Düsseldorf was scheduled for Saturday at 01:50+0800.
Arrival at Düsseldorf would be something like 06:30+0200, so I would get
home in the morning and with sleep on the plane the jet lag should not
be that bad. At the airport I bought such an U-shaped pillow. A lot of
stores outside of the security area carry them. They ranged between
around 300 CNY to a cheap feeling one for 120 CNY. I ended up with a
mid-range one, it is amazing how many different models there are!

Being a vegetarian with some food allergies makes traveling a bit more
involved. I have heard that Chinese cuisine uses a lot of peanuts,
therefore I wondered how people cope with that.

Běijīng (北京) literally means northern (北) capital (京). The name
"Peking" is the official name in English and German and corresponds to
the same city. I just prefer to use the Chinese name. There is also the
city of Nánjīng (南京), the southern capital. Depending on how you count
there are 23 million people living in Běijīng, which is completely
beyond my comprehension. Compared to Wǔhàn that is just a factor 2
adding to the factor 50 Wǔhàn has to Bonn.

After the first week I had to do a transfer from Wǔhàn to Běijīng. These
are around 1050 km linear distance apart:

In the summer of 2019 I was able to spend four weeks in China. One week during
The 37th Annual International Symposium on Lattice Field
Theory (just "Lattice 2019" by the people in
the field) in Wǔhàn (武汉市) and three weeks during a summer school "Frontiers
in Lattice QCD" in Běijīng (北京市).

These days I include a lot of emojis in my chat messages. Back in the day one
would write stuff like :-D
or include some little pixel graphic, but now we
just have unicode symbols for this: 😃. Since these symbols are not on a regular
keyboard (except perhaps for laptops with touchscreen bars above the keyboard),
one needs to enter them somehow different. And this is where it starts to
become really inconsistent.
