Yes, although there isn't much to do to go from Datoviz to simple scientific plots like scatter plots or polylines with axes. It's just a few lines of code. I should probably clarify the documentation.

Good idea, I should do benchmarks on simple plots. It's orders of magnitude faster. Above 60 FPS on hundreds of thousands to even millions of points depending on the type of plot, on common hardware.

My visualization library [1] is written in C and exposes a visualization API in C. It is packaged as a Python wheel using auto-generated ctypes bindings, which includes the shared library (so, dylib, or dll) and a few dependencies. This set

Some people may also feel that nothing matters, since they're convinced we’ll all end up dead in a nuclear or climate apocalypse anyway.

Same. I couldn't help seeing a commutative diagram before he had a chance to say "category theory".

I realize just now I hear this as well. Always have. Always thought it was normal. Guess it isn't.

I'm still having a hard time with coding agents. They are useful but also somehow immature hence dangerous. The other day I asked copilot with GPT4o to add docstrings to my functions in a long Python file. It did a good job on the firs

Even funnier would be to make it unnecessarily mean and vexing. Wait, are you really looking this up? You don't even know how to do this? Are you kidding me? Gosh, it's been an hour and you still haven't fixed this bug? Are y

> an internet meme (...) ironically praising the film Morbius as simply "one of the movies of all time", without any adjective. Nice. I'll use that one.

More than 15 years ago, I was tutoring a few high school students, including one who was particularly strong in math. I put together a special multi-page assignment for him that introduced the exponential function through the concept of com

What about the 1999 PlayStation 2 advertisement disguised as a futuristic 2078 commercial for the PlayStation 9 [1]? I always thought it was directed by David Lynch, but I don't see it in this video. [1] https://www.reddit.c
