Pandas vs Rust (Ep. 144)

Pandas is the de-facto standard for data loading and manipulation. Python is the de-facto programming language for such operations. Rust is the underdog. Or is it? In this episode I am showing you why that is no longer the case.   Our Sponsors This episode is supported by Chapman’s Schmid College of Science and Technology, where master’s and PhD students join in cutting-edge research as they prepare to take the next big leap in their professional journey.

Concurrent is not parallel - Part 2 (Ep. 143)

In plain English, concurrent and parallel are synonyms. Not for a CPU. And definitely not for programmers. In this episode I summarize the ways to parallelize on different architectures and operating systems. Rock-star data scientists must know how concurrency works and when to use it IMHO.   Our Sponsors This episode is supported by Chapman’s Schmid College of Science and Technology, where master’s and PhD students join in cutting-edge research as they prepare to take the next big leap in their professional journey.
