Website for mathematicalmichael.com, michaelpilosov.com, mpilosov.com

Personal Website

Requirements

hugo (or docker-equivalent).

Serve

make

Publish

Github Actions will automatically build and deploy the website.

The one caveat to be aware of is that the cname property in the workflow must be set as it will override any settings manually configured in the Github Pages user interface.

Docker

You can run make hugo to create the image hugo-image:latest defined in docker/Dockerfile and use the following command to run a local server instead:

make serve-from-docker

and similarly make stage-from-docker to push to the local staging server (must be on VPN / in-studio).

other versions

The environment variables VAR and VER determine the variant (_extended or empty for plain hugo) and version for hugo.

make hugo -e VER=0.96.0 -e VAR=
make hugo -e VER=0.103.1  # uses `VAR=_extended` by default 

home's Issues

mvp research page

estimation is the current working title, as it is something that ties together my phd research and "the oracle" app I built.

• narrative thread missing
• outline research topic
• passion to make use of the discoveries I worked hard on and the knowledge acquired on the path, have innate desire to make them accessible and to share with the world, hence "the oracle"
• final spell check

stochastic poker colors and formatting

Problems

• all three icons should be inline, spaced in a visually pleasing way, with some padding between the score stats and the button to start a new game.
• the color of the graph should be white

parameterize theme colors

Problem

Any time I want to change colors, I basically have to do find/replace in themes/dimension/static/assets/css/main.css and I would really like it if at least the unique colors of the website were parameters/variables I could set at the top of the file, or even better from within config.yaml.

Solution

font color, background color, accent color, at the very least, are configurable in one place. ideally there are not any color codes left in main.css that are not parameterized. I'm not sure if changes will be required to noscript.css as I'm not sure what this does.

style of quote blocks

this one should be straightforward... there's too much whitespace in quote blocks (markdown preceded by >).

These quote blocks look bad to me. Would prefer if the text was centered in there, or at least if the bottom padding was reduced maybe 50%.

mvp etc page

this etc / more page is a mess, full of irrelevant links that probably need to be woven into the other pages.

unclear what will remain here, blocked by other issues.

post-mvp cleanup

• NJH image
• NJH project page (needs github?) at least can use for technical discussion to keep art page shorter. say you can put the code up on request.
• close out mvp issues

centering / alignment at different scales

Problem

At certain scales (approaching mobile), the logo becomes uncentered, as do the headings. this is the /projects page:

also when there are an even number of menu items, this centering problem also occurs (may or may not be related to the above):

Solution

make changes to either themes/dimension/static/assets/css/main.css or static/css/custom.css

try removing background blurry blob

i cant figure out where this is with the inspector tool. I just don't like how noticeable it is when I remove the background gradient especially.

describe experience that can become offerings

• free write about python experience
• create new page (probably on other website)
• free write about mlops, devops
• create page that describes how you built CI/CD for this site
• create page that describes how you built CI/CD for thesis

mvp about page

the who i am page is closest to being done but still needs revisions.

• "seeker of opportune moments where novel ideas spark connections to hoarded knowledge" ⬅️ needs reworking but this idea is missing now

• "I quantify and reduce uncertainty by applying mathematical theory and leveraging the power of storytelling to explain complicated concepts." ⬅️ a lot of jargon to lead with

• needs h1 heading.

  • who i am ... or instead, go with something else as top-of-page:
  • i am michael pilosov, phd
  • michael pilosov, phd

• "I am a bridge. I approach education and software engineering as art." ⬅️ vague, no followup

• remove line-breaks

• only one CTA, use hyperlinks in text instead

• add image

• move goal up

• final spellcheck

mvp software page

architecture & engineering (center item) is what it is called now

• picking up from research discussion (link back to it), i developed my software and devops skills (maybe hyperlink back to this section in the contact page)

Set up Hugo to use dart-sass instead of the embedded version.

The Sass library that Hugo comes with is very out of date. Details are in the docs, but a binary for dart-sass will need to be installed to use Sass's latest features.

improve animations/transition smoothness

Problem

when clicking on menu items which bring up cards, the animation seems to "stutter" and doesn't feel smooth.

Solution

animation parameters are changed to result in a smoother animation, and ideally are configurable by the user (preferably in config.yaml, but if you point me to the the right variables in main.css that would work too)
