   My partner has to manage having a 500MB quota on their home directory at work. A couple of times a month something decides to dump 300+ MB of data in there and break everything.

   In my experience of academia, using PDFs as an image format is extremely common for sharing plotted data. The only common alternatives are (E)PS and PNG which are much worse.

    I get a very similar experience using IPython from a terminal, sometimes copying code over from my main text editor (where I have linting, multiple cursors and other niceties). As I do a lot of plotting I use itermplot[1] to display inline

    Is there an equivalent way of embedding data in PNG files? I've done this before by appending data to the end of the file but if I could make it more resistant to reprocessing that would be useful.

    This looks great! I'm currently in the process of reverse engineering an API from its source. This is perfect for quickly comparing the requests made between the official client and my own implementation.

    The README states "Do not use in production" so I wouldn't trust it yet. For ~GBs of data per day is it necessary to use something that avoids having a full local copy? I'd have thought you could have a full local mirror

    I believe there is a very high fee attached to checking in 23kg-32kg bags (€80?) which are then specifically marked. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s added for free on some business class fares.

    (Just for completeness) The hints at 114GeV in LEP were very subtle and have since been shown to be a statistical fluctuation (which is unsurprising). The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed the Higgs boson at 125GeV. This mass is too
