   Absolutely agree, coming from the Node.js world documentation for Python packages (especially more established ones) is largely unapproachable, wording is unnecessarily obtuse and descriptions go on for too long. Code is presented in walls

   This is way overdue and such a gain for little effort both in the engineering and on the user side. Not about to switch from maps to Waze, but does inch closer!!

    I wrote a blog post looking into which curve is represented by linearly interpolating a value over multiple frames in a videogame context. Spoiler alert, the answer is an exponential!
