We dive into Marco's inspiring journey from a mathematics background to becoming a key contributor in the open-source community. Marco shares his initial struggles, motivations, and the eventual widespread adoption of narwhals.  The conversation goes into the technical underpinnings of his project, from the importance of typing to robust testing techniques.  He highlights collaborations, testing practices, and the challenges of maintaining backward compatibility.  This episode is both a technical deep dive and an inspiring story of persevering through challenges and negativity to make a substantial impact in the open source ecosystem.Here are a few links: Quansight YouTube Channel to see Marco coding live.Narwal discordSupport the showSubscribe to mailing list here.

Magic meets science in this episode of Fur Real. Have you heard of the unicorns of the sea? Narwhals, with their iconic tusks, are as fascinating as they are mysterious. Joining us is Dr. Martin Nweeia, the leading expert on these Arctic creatures, to share incredible stories and surprising facts. Did you know their “horn” is actually a tooth that can grow up to ten feet long? Or that they can dive over 7,000 feet deep thanks to a special protein that supercharges their oxygen reserves? But narwhals aren't just science—they're steeped in legend. Inuit mythology tells of a woman who was pulled into the sea while hunting, and her braided hair became the tusk we see today. In medieval times, the tusk was believed to have magical powers, capable of curing poison and disease. Even Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea drew inspiration from these incredible animals. From myths to biology, Dr. Nweeia brings stories you won't want to miss.

If you work in data science, you definitely know about data frame libraries. Pandas is certainly the most popular, but there are others such as cuDF, Modin, Polars, Dask, and more. They are all similar but definitely not the same APIs and Polars is quite different. But here's the problem. If you want to write a library that is for users of more than one of these data frame frameworks, how do you do that? Or if you want to leave open the possibility of changing yours after the app is built, same problem. That's the problem that Narwhals solves.

The Care & Feeding team is off for Labor Day — but we won't let that stop you from hearing something great from elsewhere in the Slateiverse. So: we're handing the mic over to our friends at Decoder Ring! Axolotls. Narwhals. Llamas. Sloths. Every few years, it seems like American kids and parents collectively decide they cannot get enough of a creature that makes teddy bears seem impossibly quaint. In today's episode we're going to swim after the axolotl, as it takes us to some far-flung and unexpected places, to understand how it came to rule the stuffed animal kingdom. Though the answer absolutely has to do with parents eager to please their children at the gift shop, it's bigger than that. The insatiable hunger for novelty that is bound up with the axolotl — well, that has to do with all of us. This episode was written by Willa Paskin. It was produced by Katie Shepherd. It was edited by Evan Chung. We produce Decoder Ring with Max Freedman. Derek John is Executive Producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. In this episode you'll hear from Elaine Kollias who works with Folkmanis Puppets, Diana Laura Vasquez Mendoza who is a biologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Dr. Jessica Whited who is a professor at Harvard, Gerhard Runken who is the executive vice president of global brand and marketing for Jazwares, and Laura Wattenberg who is a baby name expert.

When you pip install a package you will for sure end up using it later. But often you will also install a bunch of dependencies and it is very likely that you won't directly interact with all of them. That does not mean that such a package is not useful, it merely means that the package might be directly used by a maintainer instead. This is interesting, because recently one such tool came into existence. It is called Narwhals and it seems to be on track to become critical infrastructure for data science projects.

Where is the money in oceanographic research? Fundamental understanding of the watery parts of our planet (i.e. most of it) is woefully under pursued. However, just as it seems some ocean systems are almost falling apart – coral bleaching, rising tides, species extinctions – we are beginning to see more attention paid to exploring the depths. "There will be unicorns of the ocean., very successful companies which we call ‘narwhals',” Adam de Sala Pool told us. A Special Advisor to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, de Sala Pool has seen a similar situation before: he was an early investor into what we now call climate tech. Commercial incentives can be incredibly useful when aligned with solving global challenges, and so, with growing anticipation, we may be on the cusp of having a new generation of ocean-oriented startups that could become billion dollar companies. “This is not for the faint of heart but [ocean investments] will eventually be as successful as clean tech has been. [Oceans] cover 70% of the planet and… everything you can do on land you will be able to do in the ocean.” Near-shore commercial activities are in the works, with farther-out prospecting for how to extend humanity's capabilities into the depths – while becoming ever more aware of how to preserve the health and integrity of our living seas.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is so important for all of us, especially young kids and adding music into the equation makes it more fun, engaging and memorable. I love the music that my guests today are sharing with kids, teachers, parents and caretakers. “Acoustic Kindie Rock band “Narwhals and Waterfalls” consists of Singer-Songwriters Paige Bell and Adrien Palmer. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, they have both taught music to children ages 0 to 5th grade. In 2018, they connected over their passion to write creative, original songs for kids, that would be enjoyable for both kids and grown-ups alike. N&W strives to write simple SEL that align with children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. So whether you're a professional educator, a stay-at-home parent, a family friend or any other kind of teacher, N&W's music promotes learning and movement, and will enhance your “student's” life.In this conversation we talk about how Paige & Adrien met, what got them into making Children's music, how being a parent has changed how they create and teach and how they're helping other parents and educators through their music and SEL resources. For SEL resources go to http://www.narwhalsandwaterfalls.comTo connect with Paige & Adrien follow on IG@narwhalsandwaterfallsWatch N&W on Youtube Listen on SpotifyThe Whole Brain Child Book To connect with me, Alana Banana, follow on IG @TheAlanaBananaShow or join the Inspired Grownups Private FB Group. For The Alana Banana Show kids content subscribe to our Youtube Channel or listen to music online wherever you stream your music.The Alana Banana Show on Apple MusicThe Alana Banana Show on SpotifyI'm now writing Custom Songs for Kids!
