Lately, my interest for machine learning and artificial intelligence has revived.

Wow, that was a busy and inspiring week!

A few years ago, I had an assignment at my former client involving Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana to build an operational dashboard.

Sometimes you have a piece of logging that is very important, maybe even part of a business requirement.

As a closing keynote on the second day of Jfokus, Jonas Bonér took the stage under the very clarifying title “Blah blah Microservices blah blah”, which turned out to mean “From microliths to microsystems”.

The second day of Jfokus is just as action-packed as the first one.

These days, I’m in Stockholm, attending and speaking at the Jfokus conference.

Recently, I was asked to write a blog about a side project I did.

When using third-party components (be it open source or not), we all know it’s a good practice to keep your frameworks and libraries up to date.

For a recent project, we decided to use the nginx webserver as our primary web server.

Often, the size of a code base is measured in terms of “source lines of code” (SLoC).

To start with a cliche: the Java ecosystem continues to develop at a high pace.

When you’re building Java or JVM-based software, chances are these days you’ll be deploying it inside Docker.

Ever noticed that annoying error while running your Protractor tests: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {}.

Building a web site or web application that should also be useable on other devices than ‘regular’ desktops or laptops?

This week, I came across an interesting difference between the Java API documentation and its current implementation.

If you own a private server, like me, you’ll probably know the feeling you need to check your logfiles every now and then.

A default Raspbian installation does not have IPv6 enabled.
