FWIW, VS Code is built on top of Electron (like Atom) and AFAICT, doesn't have the perf issues that Atom does. Nor does the Slack client which is similarly built on Electron. I wonder what the root cause is, but I don't think it i

I'm a huge fan of d3, thanks for all of your work on it. How is d3_scale different the scales included in vanilla d3? What is the motivation? Should I plan on trying to migrate my existing d3 apps to use these new modules?

Anecdotally, as the heavy kid in school, I always noticed the kids that drank 2% were rarely overweight, however the kids that drank skim (myself included) were much more likely to be obese. I've had this theory for ages and it was rei
