    This looks interesting, but there's a lot of moving pieces (rust, python, typescript, react, v8). Maybe remove the .DS_Store files from repo and update your gitignore globally to a…

    I believe this pivoting example might be useful to scientists, support staff and postdocs in other fields as well (e.g., physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, material science). A fe…

    That was my experience as well. The RSE role doesn't seem to fit into their current model. It doesn't work from a career path, nor from a competitive compensation standpoint. I sus…

    Perhaps a custom compose function can help with these use cases? This series has a few examples of composing computation in Python that might be useful. https://github.com/mpkocher…

    Are these really the same? The idiomatic Python 3 version uses generators to compose the computation and to avoid unnecessary memory allocations. Does funct.Array also do this? - h…
