Hands-on GitHub Actions (Getting Started with GitHub Actions Workflows)

One thing I'm increasingly conscious of is that I've a lot of demos and toy projects hanging around and the code for most of these isn't readily available. So, I plan to clean these up and put them in GitHub so others can explore the code, and reuse it if they see fit.First up is the code to create a HTML+Javascript clone of Nature's iPhone app, as described in an earlier post.There's a live version of the clone here here.

I'm teaching a class on quantitative methods in linguistics, and after getting tired, over the years, of debugging everyone's computer before we could get to the content of learning R (much less quantitative methods), I decided to seize control. I'm running the course through GitHub Classroom which comes with an educational allowance for using GitHub codespaces.

For groups of diffeomorphisms of $\T^2$ containing an Anosov diffeomorphism, we give a complete classification for polycyclic Abelian-by-Cyclic group actions on $\T^2$ up to both topological conjugacy and smooth conjugacy under mild assumptions. Along the way, we also prove a Tits alternative type theorem for some groups of diffeomorphisms of $\T^2$.

Donald Hobern drew my attention to nice the way iNaturalist displays taxonomic splits: In this example, observations identified as Rhipidura fuliginosa are being split into Rhipidura fuliginosa and Rhipidura albiscapa . This immediately reminds me of the idea which keeps circulating around, namely using version control tools to manage taxonomic classification.
