CPython still needs to update reference counts after the fork even if your python code itself doesn't modify any data, making Copy on Write less helpful than it would first appear.…

The systems of differential equations produced by these types of models tend to be analytically intractable, so "numerical methods" are absolutely essential here. The phrase you wa…

I like pdbpp. Make sure to install from source as there hasn’t been a release in a while. https://github.com/pdbpp/pdbpp

To make this more clear as I have had the same experience and want more people to enjoy it: Mamba is more or less a drop-in replacement for the conda tool with the guts rewritten i…

TIFF will support that size and larger. It can use JPEG or ZLIB compression as standard, or even WEBP or JPEG-XL which are unofficially supported by a small number of TIFF librarie…

I’ve used those Snappy brand cutters in a handheld cordless drill. It’s workable but tricky. You need to start with light pressure and high speed until the cutters score a clean ci…

That species of moth doesn’t exist on the American continent but other similar and related ones do, whose range does overlap with that of hummingbirds. For example: https://en.m.wi…

This post claims the history of which releases closed which holes is a bit more complicated and that 8u191 really is the first release to prevent this particular exploit. However i…

Also if the upper tray is height-adjustable, check the rubber one-way valve flaps in the middle of the supply tube that runs up the inside rear wall of the basin. If any of those f…

Nice work avoiding the copula there :)

PDF had support for JS at least since the late ‘90s as part of the scriptable forms system.

Dask does the lazy evaluation and query planning thing on numpy arrays and pandas dataframes, and can execute in parallel. It mimics most of their native interfaces which makes it …

True, but running the %debug magic command in IPython immediately after an unhandled exception drops you into the debugger at the point of the raised exception, complete with the f…

Yeah, that part of Cambridge was originally all industry. It’s been changing slower than you would think.

Shellac has nearly zero resistance to water vapor so it wouldn’t prevent corrosion at all. Nitrocellulose lacquer isn’t a lot better.

Maybe even more so the sequel Syndicate Wars https://youtu.be/ECHmCzXMFb8

I have fond memories of using Swarm in an undergrad course on agent based simulation ~20 years ago. Just tweaking the heatbugs example in various ways was already enlightening. Tha…

I’m an American with a very limited space to work in and I love Paul’s approach.

Regarding finishes, I highly, highly recommend the book Understanding Wood Finishing by Bob Flexner. Flexner applies a very no-nonsense scientific approach which greatly demystifie…

The Duron had a set of circuit traces exposed on the ceramic chip carrier that were cut by laser at the factory to set the maximum allowed clock multiplier (and thus its final spee…

Sorry, I thought Feather supported random row access but it turns out it only supports random column access. For fst, I only played with the R interface, which would be called like…

Hi Andrew! Looking into similar requirements I came across Feather and fst. They both basically let you efficiently slice into compressed on-disk DataFrames. Feather already suppor…
