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.

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.

In this podcast I get inspired by Paul Done's presentation about The Six Principles for Building Robust Yet Flexible Shared Data Applications, and show how powerful of a language Rust is while still maintaining the flexibility of less strict languages.
