Not really directly related to the article, but YouTube recently recommended to me a series of videos from "Strange Loop" which is some kind of tech conference. One of the talks was "Jagged, ragged, awkward arrays" by Jim Pivarski [1]. It is fairly narrow in scope talking about a very particular data modelling problem but it introduced me to the kind of data processing physicists do to make these kinds of discoveries. Just wanted to share in case anyone else finds this kind of thing interesting.

- ephimetheus 7y agoYeah, his awkward-array and uproot most of all let me do a lot of my analysis in python and Jupyter. That was almost impossible before.
- ejwhite 7y agoHeh, I went to grad school with him. Haven't heard what he's been up to in over a decade. I was solidly in the "C++" column back then, but have since become a data scientist who now uses numpy/Python for all machine learning. That talk was a very interesting, helped me to understand what they're doing in my old field these days. Thanks for sharing.
