work on resolving warning in CI (2024-01)

[jGaboardi]

Currently we have a ton of warning being thrown in CI. The major ones are listed below from ubuntu-latest, ci/312-dev.yaml.

• [x] libpysal.weights.* – 51100f0

  • FutureWarning: `use_index` defaults to False but will default to True in future.
    Set True/False directly to control this behavior and silence this warning
      self.w = libpysal.weights.Queen.from_dataframe(self.mexico) 
    

• [x] numpy – 697a05b

  • DeprecationWarning: Conversion of an array with ndim > 0 to a scalar is deprecated, and will error in future.
    Ensure you extract a single element from your array before performing this operation. (Deprecated NumPy 1.25.)
    

  • Clear internal warnings; some still thrown from within pyproj
• [x] geopandas – ef3dfa5

  •  FutureWarning: The 'unary_union' attribute is deprecated, use the 'union_all()' method instead.
    

  • warning still thrown, but now future-proofed.

Just a note that the first one is also coming from geopandas.

[jGaboardi]

The weights one is coming from inside geopandas? That seems odd...

[martinfleis]

Ah, no! My mistake. Geopandas has a very similar warning :D
