Better code for the MacroPad
A while ago I’ve made a MacroPad and I recently improved the code! In this post I’ll briefly show some advanced code to create a MacroPad class which allows custom functions to be added to key presses using a decorator. The original code as well as instructions how to build...

From those the (approximate*) location using Google’s Geocoding API can be found and plotted using Altair. This gives...

When three or more groups of samples are compared (e.g. Using ANOVA/Tukey HSD or Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn), you’ll often see results shown as a boxplot, with lines highlighting which groups are significantly different. In Python there is no single package to do this quickly, though by combining scikit-posthocs with statannotations similar plots...

This way the other 7 buttons can actually each be assigned 4 different notes/chords (a default, pressed with modifier one, pressed with modifier two and pressed with both modifiers active). So...

Faster Mixture Models in PyMC3
In a previous post about clustering the palmer penguins using PyMC3, the mixture model was implemented in the model itself. Though this is great for understanding what is going on, it isn’t very efficient when sampling the model. Furthermore, observations (here penguins) were assigned to groups (here the species of...

Lights, Camera, GitHub, Actions: My Favorite GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions allow you to automate some workflows directly on GitHub when code is pushed, at regular intervals or triggered manually. While it takes a bit of setup, the advantages are well worth the time required to get acquainted with this advanced feature of GitHub. In this post I’ll outline...
