[Numpy-discussion] Where is Jaime?

[Charles R Harris]

Anyone hear from Jaime lately? He seems to have gone missing.

I'm alive and well: trying to stay afloat on a sea of messaging protocols,
Java and Swiss bureaucracy, but doing great aside from that.

Glad to hear it. I was beginning to worry...

Java? Poor soul. Anything special about the Swiss bureaucracy? Reminds me
of the old joke

*Heaven and Hell*

Heaven Is Where:

The French are the chefs
The Italians are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time


Hell is Where:

The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
The Italians make everything run on time
And the Germans are the police

Well, if you don't have a suitcase full of $100 bills, opening a bank
account in Switzerland is surprisingly difficult, especially if you are
moving here from the U.S. If immigration then decides to request from you
documents they already have, thus delaying your residence permit by a few
more weeks, the bank ends up returning your first salary, just about the
same time you have to pay a 3 month rental deposit for a small and
ridiculously expensive apartment. Everything is slowly falling into place,
but it has been an interesting ride.

The trains and trams do seem to run remarkably on time, but I don't think
Eva would be too happy about me setting out to test how good lovers the
Swiss are...

The cash economy is nothing to sniff at ;) It is big in NYC and other
places with high taxes and bureaucratic meddling. Cash was one of the great
inventions.

Is the interp fix in the google pipeline or do we need a workaround?

Yeah, there is a Sicilian New Yorker called "Gambino" who has been
advertising "protection from ISIS" in European newspapers lately. From what
I read his father was big at selling protection for cash, and now he is
taking up his father's business and selling protection from ISIS. To prove
his value, he claimed ISIS is so afraid of his organisation that Sicily is
a place they never dare visit. Presumably Gambino's business model depends
on a cash based economy, or at least it did.

That's interesting, sounds like "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" come to life

Oooh, if someone is looking at changing interp, is there any chance
that fp could be extended to take complex128 rather than just float

Post by Charles R Harris

y = interp(mu, theta, m)

rather than

Post by Charles R Harris

y = interp(mu, theta, m.real) + 1.0j*interp(mu, theta, m.imag)

which *sounds* like it might be simple and more (Num)pythonic.

That sounds like an excellent improvement and you should submit a PR
implementing it :-).

"The interp fix" in question though is a regression in 1.10 that's blocking
1.10.2, and needs a quick minimal fix asap.

Good answer - as soon as I hit 'send' I wondered how many bugs get
introduced by people trying to attach feature requests to bug fixes. I
will take a look at the code later and pm you if I get anywhere...

Ideally, none, because when that happens we frown and shake our
fingers until they split them up :-).
