Science and Tech for the Small Fry. The cost of a Python function call. December 10, 2015. I’ve read in various places that the Python function call overhead is very high. As I was parroting this “fact” to Ed Schofield. Recently, he asked me what the cost of a function actually was. I had no idea. This prompted us to do a few quick benchmarks. The short version is that it takes about 150ns to call a function in Python (on my laptop). This doesn’t sound like a lot, but it means that you can make. Lose two...

Go to SciPy 2015 | I Love Symposia!
https://ilovesymposia.com/2015/03/23/go-to-scipy-2015
Science and Tech for the Small Fry. Go to SciPy 2015. March 23, 2015. Is my favourite conference. My goal with this post is to convince someone to go who hasn’t had that chance yet. Most scientists go to conferences in their own field: neuroscientists go to the monstrous Society for Neuroscience (SfN); Bioinformaticians go to RECOMB, ISMB, or PSB; and so on. People go to these to keep up with the latest advances in their field, and often, to do a bit of networking. SciPy is a different kind of conference.

Science and Tech for the Small Fry. October 9, 2015. The videos from EuroSciPy 2015 are up. This marks a good time to write up my thoughts on the conference. That the yearly SciPy conference is stunningly useful. This year I couldn’t make it to Austin, but I did attend EuroSciPy. The European version of the same conference, in Cambridge, UK. It was spectacular. The talk of the conference, for me, goes to Robin Wilson for recipy. I also enjoyed Nicolas Rougier’s talk. A new journal dedicated to replicated...

Science and Tech for the Small Fry. Tag Archives: Planet SciPy. Why scientists should code in the open. December 26, 2015. All too often, I encounter. In which the code is “available upon request”, or “available in the supplementary materials” (as a zip file). This is not just poor form. It also hurts your software’s future. (And, in my opinion, when results depend on software, it is inexcusable.). In this piece, I’ll go even further: put your code there. Put your code there. But here’s the secret:.
