• Where are my Magic: the Gathering cards ?

    thumbnail for Where are my Magic: the Gathering cards ?

    Since a few months I’ve been selling some Magic: the Gathering cards on CardMarket. Last week I realized I could extract the address from buyers from eml files (exported emails) with orders. From those the (approximate*) location using Google’s Geocoding API can be found and plotted using Altair. This gives...


  • Plotting post hoc tests with Python

    thumbnail for Plotting post hoc tests with Python

    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...

    To expand the number of notes/chords my RP2040 based MIDI controller can play we’ll turn two keys into modifiers.

    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...

    Flesh and Blood has been gaining a lot of traction as a Trading Card Game, and I recently picked up two preconstructed decks to check out the game. It also would be great to add this new game to DeckLock as it seem interesting, and I’m pretty sure I’ll pick...


  • KeyForge: How many decks were printed ?

    thumbnail for KeyForge: How many decks were printed ?

    KeyForge is often advertised as having 104 septillion possible decks per set (that is 104 followed by 24 zeros), but how many of those decks actually exist? Fantasy Flight Games never released data on how many decks were printed per run. Though with Dark Tiding having Evil Twin decks (exact...
