Trying to do the full 30 Days Map Chellenge for the first time/

I grew up tired of using VS Code to edit Jupyter notebooks given all the bullshit around AI and their push to include it anywhere it has no place to be. And I didn’t want to launch a terminal and everything everytime. So I bought a 16Gb Raspberry Pi and started setting up a server.

Starting in 2022, with the direction Twitter was going, I moved to Mastodon.

So I have just spent most of the past week preparing the migration of my main site to Jekyll.

I have finally had the time to dive into spatial data correctly, partially because my new job has a strong spatial element to it. This revived a side project I had put aside for a few months: comparing the size of Tokyo with other major cities.

Today started with the news that Twitch had been hacked and a trove of data, from source code to operation manuals had been leaked. But the main discussion was around the streamers revenues.

I just wanted to see what were the main flights in Asian countries, following a viz I saw of the same for Europe.

A quick useless update: I am coming back to kinda daily algorithms practice, something I had not done for quite some time. This time on Codewars

Growing a skill takes time.

So I joined the mechanical keyboard tribe. Long story short, after 5 months working remotely bent over my laptop at my kitchen table, I said enough, bought a desk, a monitor and while I was at it, wanted to also switch to a mechanical keyboard and graduate from the flat and shorter course of the laptop keyboards I had been using for the last 10+ years (including most of my learning how to code and countless reports written for my MBA).

I often use Twitter as a source of ideas for analysis. Some tweets make me research some topics. Other anger me enough to have a look at the data to get a reality check.

So in the end, why am I even studying Data Science? Why do I want a career in Data Science?

Hello again it is.
