Kaitai is a really great system, with an awesome WebIDE. At work we have just started a project to use it for astrophysics simulations and data from dark matter detectors, and one of my hobby projects is to use it to explore retro game dat

I grew up here. You could smell the tannery from miles away. In sixth grade, we had a visit from a community member. I forget the nominal purpose, but it was in the sixth grade building which at the time was just down the street from WWW. I

When generating cosmological initial conditions for use in simulations of large-scale structure, one common method is to utilize random numbers (distributed about a known power spectrum) in k-space and then transforming back to real space.

I love Kaitai, and use it extensively (outside my day job) for exploring binary file formats of things like DOS games and quilting patterns. About a year ago I wrote a blog entry about using it for scientific data: https://matth

I have and like the gameshell from clockworkpi. I'm particularly intrigued by the "Volume VIZ" window on the stock image and curious if that's a real pic or a staged/rendered one.

The article suggests they will be able to "unambiguously identify" Population III stars, which would be absolutely incredible.

Yup, and we don't use a rainbow colormap by default anymore! We do provide a few custom ones that were developed with viscm, which I believe was used by in development of viridis, magma, etc. I think the specific examples are all fro

I work on yt, and I just wanted to comment to say that whenever I stumble on a mention of it somewhere, I genuinely feel warm inside. Thank you for thinking of us! One of the things we've tried to do -- especially by leveraging the te

This inspired a project I worked on with some collaborators a while back. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10773 and code: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/thingking We used it to enable analyzi

Reading over the list of priorities in the PDF linked from the Whitehouse blog, the one that I was the most pleased about was improving HPC productivity.

No, not quite. It depends on if the library is pure python. If it is, then adding support for pip install is possible, but not implemented. If it's not pure python, it is a lot harder -- it has to be statically linked into the PNaCl

At SciPy this year, Kester and I will be giving a talk on this: https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2014/schedule/presentation...

That's true for the GDrive integration. All of the python-in-PNaCl code is available already as part of naclports.

There is a strong, growing movement to improve scientific code. As two quick examples, the WSSSPE series: http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/ and the Software Sustainability Institute: http://software.ac.uk&

It depends on if you are counting hardware costs or software costs as well. The rough estimate I heard recently is that an hour of programmer time costs about the same as an hour of a 100 Teraflop computer.

I am an astrophysicist, and I deal with this issue directly. In my simulations, I do deeply nested Adaptive Mesh Refinement calculations. These simulations run inside an Eulerian grid, where each cell contains a fluid element. These cell
