Welcome, I stopped blogging decades ago with the rise of social media. However, I also now stopped using social media thus started this to share what I am thinking-about / working-on.
I am mostly in the space of bioscience (neuro) + data science + engineering + environmental.
A close mentor once told me that I have a bias towards action and I recently have a deeper understanding and realization of the layers upon this phrase. Looking at this phrase from the perspective of economics and management - because she is an successfuly executive with background in economics, statistics, and management - there are research supporting that leaders/authorities tend to be action-biased when during crisis in contrast to relative peacetime (Bar-Eli et al., 2007). This made me more comfortable as a crisis leader (“The Psychology Behind Effective Crisis Leadership,” n.d.). I read the quote “hope is the consequence of action” from former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s Substack post on his decision to not run for public office and getting to work in a different way. Some further research and contemplatio led me to the conclusion of “when lack hope, act; when have hope, double down and act” inferring the similar mindset of being action biased and that acting is not binary but a sliding scale. ...
Explanation why one is not able to use PyOData (from SAP) to query Seattle’s open data Here I demonstrate why trying to use PyOData library (from SAP) to query the Seattle open data’s OData endpoint is going to give you nightmares. The PyOData library seems to make the assumption that the XML atom title and href have the same value (which is the case with the Northwind example dataset), however, Seattle’s open data OData endpoint assigns a unique SODA identifier as the href and use the atom title to document the dataset name. ...
To learn from giants, I forked @adityatelange’s PaperMod instead of pulling the theme directly from his repo with a submodule. This change required me to modify the Github Actions workflow yaml to accommodate for this change because I realized that the Hugo site fails to build at the step when Github Actions is trying to initialize the forked submodule of PaperMod. This is the error: Run git submodule update --init --recursive Submodule 'themes/PaperMod' (git@github.com:anthropikos/hugo-PaperMod.git) registered for path 'themes/PaperMod' Cloning into '/home/runner/work/anthropikos.github.io/anthropikos.github.io/themes/PaperMod'... git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I noticed the ssh and realized that the previous successful build when I had @adityatelange’s PaperMod as a submodule, instead of my forked repo, used https instead! Here is the last successful build. ...
