Infinite scaling, impossible debugging Suppose I would like to build a memory-intensive 2D array in Python with a single CPU: def f(x): return [i for i in range(x)] lists = [f(i) for i in range(100000000)] print(lists) Upon running, I get a MemoryError.https://www.micahyong.com/post/exploring-geographic-data/Sun, 20 Jun 2021 23:30:42 -0700https://www.micahyong.com/post/exploring-geographic-data/In this essay, I’ll talk about a powerful visualization called choropleths, why they’re horrendous to reproduce, and how we can empower data scientists to build and use them more intelligently. Update: My professor and advisor recently launched a company, Ponder, to make Pandas both scalable and intelligent. See my work on geographic types embodied here. It’s hot It’s hot in California. No, like really hot. If you’re from the West Coast, this isn’t news to you—you were born and raised in the ever-increasing heat.
