The way Dodford pulls off a narrative arc for a half-hour-long biopic almost entirely out of quotes and clips never ceases to amaze me.

Anyone (know someone who) knows someone that works on Anthropic's Claude in Chrome extension?
I'm a co-chair of the WebExtensions Community Group and I'd love to learn about the team's experience building this extension. Retoots welcome 😊

I was using the Python csv library for a script but decided I should dig into the pandas DataFrame stuff instead.
It was more complex, and it took me awhile to figure things out, and I had to read a bunch of web pages explaining things.
But in the end, I am 100% happy I did it that way.
I did not want to ask some AI/LLM for the answers, or to write the code for me.
Because for me, the struggle and the journey is part of creating something worthwhile.

Towards Scalable Dataframe Systems
Dataframes are a popular abstraction to represent, prepare, and analyze data. Despite the remarkable success of dataframe libraries in Rand Python, dataframes face performance issues even on moderately large datasets. Moreover, there is significant ambiguity regarding dataframe semantics. In this paper we lay out a vision and roadmap for scalable dataframe systems. To demonstrate the potential in this area, we report on our experience building MODIN, a scaled-up implementation of the most widel…
