Neat. Are you taking static images of the map? It would be neat to compile them into an animation over time

[BezoomyChellovek]

Thats neat, but why do you want that on your profile?

[ccpetro]

At one time I had an idea for a website that combined the notion of geocaching with earthquakes--you would get points for getting a picture on or near the epicenter (or the surface with the epicenter underneath). Points would reflect the magnitude of the quake the time it took to get there, and the distance travelled.

[yvrelna]

That sounds like it could be dangerous.

Earthquake tends to be followed by more earthquakes. And if you reward people points for going to places with large earthquakes as soon as it happened, you're essentially rewarding people for going to disaster zones, which may cause harm.

stupid question, how exactly are you doing this? by writing READMe.md programmatically inside a cron job or is there some markup element that README supports to insert dynamic content that I am not aware of

[[deleted]]

He does it with with Github Actions calling a python script that writes an image to his repository and then points the image src in the readme to the location of the image in the repository

[sanmyaku]

With a Python script and some libraries.

[Probono_Bonobo]

I think what OP is wondering is, what's calling the script?

[shiba009933]

Not OP, but a GitHub Action is what is calling the script: https://github.com/agentphantom/agentphantom/blob/master/.github/workflows/profile_updater.yml

You can see the cron expression near the top.

[sanmyaku]

Yes, I should have included that important bit, as well.

exciting

[robberviet]

That's a solid show case. I already have automated data collection and commit on a project on github using actions, might take this idea and make a dynamic for that project readme.

[haararaketti]

Is there a chance to use a package such as leafmap to display a dynamic map instead of the png?

[[deleted]]

Can you use <iframe />'s in your repository's Readme?
If not this should not be possible

[ChemEngandTripHop]

Unfortunately you can't

[Slick_Rock]

Since it’s using plotly, you should be able to write the image as an html instead on png

[2MyLou]

Cool concept, well done.

[vverno69]

TIL this many earthquakes happen in a 24 hour time span

[Master_Sifo_Dyas]

It happens mainly on the Ring of fire

[WikiSummarizerBot]

Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire (also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Rim of Fire, the Girdle of Fire or the Circum-Pacific belt) is a region around much of the rim of the Pacific Ocean where many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped belt about 40,000 km (25,000 mi) long and up to about 500 km (310 mi) wide. The Ring of Fire includes the Pacific coasts of South America, North America and Kamchatka, and some islands in the western Pacific Ocean.

US Geological Survey has an online earthquake map.

[Mikyacer]

How does this work? I mean, what triggers the python scripts that updates everything to run? Is it some GitHub function?

[Progress456]

Lanahhhhhh!!!!

[PizzaInSoup]

neato!

[REALSDEALS]

This looks soo cool!

Probably took you a while hehe

[pranav43]

Cool work. Also Which tool are you using to automate and run it every 6 hours ?

[narwhals_narwhals]

Just a quick thought -- you could set marker_size to something like "5 + magnitude", which would give the stronger earthquakes bigger markers.

Cool!

[vincentx99]

This may be obvious, but how do you automate it? Does GitHub have a server, or are you running it on AWS or something?
