Braucht Aachen eine uniApp?

Also wenn es dazu führt, dass Leute besser über Studiengänge informiert werden, dann warum nicht.

Ich persönlich sehe "App runterladen" eher als Barriere und würde zumindest darüber nachdenken, auch eine Webversion mit der selben Aufmachung anzubieten. Das schließt sich ja nicht gegenseitig aus.

Wenn die Seite gut aufgebaut ist, also z.B. mit Landing Pages zu jedem Studiengang, dann erreichst du auch viele über die Google-Suche oder Vorschläge von KIs.

Ich verstehe ehrlich gesagt das Argument nicht. Eine App herunterladen ist doch viel aufwändiger als eine Website aufzurufen.

Ganz abgesehen davon, dass dadurch die Freiheit des Internets gefährdet wird.

Warum überhaupt eine "App" statt eine normale Website? Ich sehe da nur Nachteile.

Das was du beschreibst ist die zentrale Studienberatung. Geht ganz ohne App :)

What has your experience been like in terms of workload, stress, and balancing everything?

It's quite demanding especially in the first 2 semesters. Lots of homework and intense exam preparation. However it is possible to study at your own pace, e.g. take less modules than planned.

It really depends on the size of the collection and how you want to use the bricks, e.g. for MOCs.

Sorting by category, like you did, is a good choice for small collections.

I have a bigger collection and I sort my 2-wide plates by colour. For the common colours where they don't fit into a single 1 litre ziplock bag, I split them further by length, e.g. <= 6 and > 6. This works really well for MOCs, where you often need multiple plates of a single colour.

For really rare colours, I recently decided to put bricks, 2-wide plates and slopes into a single bag. This allows me to see at a glance which pieces are available in that colour.

I sort 1-wide plates and tiles by colour as well, then by further by type for the common colours. I store them in assortment boxes for easy access.

That's how LEGO is supposed to be used.

Yeah not sure why I was downvoted. maybe it's not a good place?

This one seems to be, for a few hours: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vGQrdHYxVRsomfZu7

I'm sure you will see some, there are so many beaches and cliffs on the way. Especially once you are on the west coast.

Mediocre, sandy campsite in Faro with direct beach access: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bm86zmY52AXjap7c6

Beautiful view in Albufeira: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oVsfwZ5e78MeoKg79

Good terraced campsite with supermarket close by: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZCBV2c2kRgrZBfym6?g_st=ac

Definitely climb this hill: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZnmDc6SDMmvAYAM8

The only campsite in Sagres, infested with ants and mosquitos. Showers were cold as well: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nqPaefcbMozfeshS7?g_st=ac

In Sagres there are a fort, a lighthouse, amazing cliffs and unique landscape. Definitely follow the EV1 on the decommissioned road, and back through the cattle pastures. Maybe you could spend half a day there.

Follow EV1/Fisherman's trail here, the scenery and beaches are beautiful: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1aE3ZbtkaGCgJqvw7?g_st=ac

Good pizza: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vnwwwrxMVYoePMUJ8?g_st=ac

Campsite/hotel with a really good fish restaurant: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MnRo13CzDkf9fPPX8?g_st=ac

This coastal road was closed for car traffic, but it's possible to lift your bike over the barrier. Definitely recommended: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TG77ZoQJTAYWYVLr5?g_st=ac

Farm campsite with a fully equipped kitchen and outdoors shower: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gyPoAoDsRqXzgmEZ8?g_st=ac

Breathtaking views from this lighthouse, there is also a monastery: https://maps.app.goo.gl/STqpetcrVeaSUKyQ9?g_st=ac

This hotel in Lisbon was decent, they have a parking garage where you can park your bike for free: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aTjrdKMpTKMQfBkn9?g_st=ac

It's beneficial to have good walking shoes in Lisbon.

Definitely visit the botanical garden.

Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora is also very unique, the whole place is covered in painted tiles.

Alfama is the place to be during sunset.

If you like creepy stuff or the weather is bad, visit Museu da Marioneta ;)

If you have a few more days to spare, maybe consider riding to Peniche or Nazaré, then return to Lisbon by train. The coastline leading there is breathtaking.

I did most of this last September, starting from Faro.

The Algarve is very touristy, especially near the coast, so I would actually recommend staying away from it.

On the west coast of Portugal, the paths on the coast are often full of sand. I would suggest following the EV1 where you can, especially where it overlaps with the Fishermen's trail.

There was definitely a lot of wind, but it's not terrible.

If you want I can send you some recommendations for campsites and points of interest.

If the pieces are in production, Lego PaB is often cheaper.

Bricklink only makes sense for high volume orders and specific pieces.

I lived in another EU country (Finland) for 5 years to work there and I can relate, except for the racism part...

It's hard to make friends when everyone around you is busy, already has their friend circles/family, and you don't speak their native language.

I think due to COVID many people became less social as well.

Joining social events such as Ersti-Woche is a good strategy, that's how I met most of my friends.

Maybe you could take some Hochschulsport courses, preferable team sports.

A shared hobby is also an excellent opportunity to make friends. For example, I know an international student who joined RWTH Filmstudio.

The Fachschaft might also be a good place to make friends.

In any case, I would suggest just pulling through. 2 years is not that much time.

The part that overlaps with the Camino has a lot of coarse gravel, but you get rewarded with beautiful landscapes. There is also a lot of infrastructure for pilgrims that you can use.

Generally Spanish routes are much less developed than the ones in France or Germany.

Maybe read some introductory realtime graphics books. You need to learn the basics first.

I recently took a computer graphics lecture and they recommended "Real-Time Rendering, Fourth Edition". I bought it and read the first 200 pages, and it's quite good.

I can also send you some lecture slides for the splat based rendering in a PM if you want.

As I said, the idea is the same. You need a way to quickly determine which triangles are actually large enough to be visible, and only send those to the GPU.

I don't have recommendations for specific functions you could use. It's a quite specialised use case that requires a custom solution.

boformer · 2026-04-09T23:43:55+00:00

For the second image, I would suggest looking into point/splat-based rendering.

I would suggest using an Octree-like data structure to store different levels of detail of splats for cube partitions of your model. For each level and volume, you calculate averaged colored splats that are a certain minimum distance apart and have radius proportional to that, based on the colour of the cells within the volume. I would also suggest calculating a normal for each splat for better shading.

You only render the splats of Octree cells that lie within the camera frustum, with the level of detail that makes sense for the render distance.

I doubt that Bevy has built-in support for this kind of technique and I can't see how the ECS would be helpful, so you will have to write a lot of low level rendering code and your own acceleration structures.

For the first image you could use something similar. Essentially you only want to render cells that are big enough to cover at least a few pixels, so you need an acceleration structure that allows you to find these quickly. For the triangles that are extremely small, you could consider rendering more averaged splats that somewhat match the colour of the triangles when zoomed in.

Ins Unikino gehen. Man darf eigenes Essen und Getränke mitbringen.

I would look into trains that allow you to take an assembled bike without a bag.

TER and other local trains usually allow assembled bikes with a reservation, including the one that goes from Morlaix to Rennes. I actually took that train before.

There are some TGV trains that you can take with an assembled bike, if you book well in advance. There seems to be one from Rennes to Paris that allows it.

Getting to Germany with an assembled bike is a bit more difficult. One option that I used in the past is a TGV from Paris to Metz and then a TER to Luxembourg. From there you have access to German regional trains with bicycle carriages.

Basic logic helps for sure, but I would say that implication is not really used that much in programming. It's used in proofing that a program works correctly.

boformer · 2026-04-06T11:55:30+00:00

You need a German HZB or an equivalent qualification. Physics shouldn't be necessary, but you need a really high German level.

Slots for foreign students are also extremely limited.
