Updating the CV PDF

Edit cv.html, then from the repo root:

chrome --headless --no-pdf-header-footer --print-to-pdf=CV_HamidBadri.pdf cv.html

Live numbers

assets/stats.json holds the TikTok and YouTube view counts and the Google Scholar citations shown on the page. The Refresh stats GitHub Action (.github/workflows/stats.yml) runs scripts/update_stats.py every day and commits the file when a number changes; the page reads it on load. Run it by hand from the Actions tab (Run workflow) or locally with python scripts/update_stats.py.

What works from GitHub's servers:

• TikTok: yes.
• YouTube: only videos in the channel's 15 latest uploads, unless a YouTube Data API key is set. Create a free key in Google Cloud Console (APIs & Services → enable YouTube Data API v3 → Credentials → API key), then add it to this repo under Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions as YT_API_KEY.
• Google Scholar: blocked (403). The last value stays on the page; run the script on your own computer and push assets/stats.json to refresh it.

To track another video, add its ID to TIKTOK_VIDEOS or YOUTUBE_VIDEOS in the script and put data-stat="youtube.<id>" (or tiktok.<id>) on the element that shows the number.
