How SpaceX Lands Starship (Sort Of)

While waiting for SN15 to launch, Thomas Goddard set out to pull together a 2-dimensional simulation of the Starship landing. Tying together knowledge of trajectory optimization, Thomas modeled the landing in Python with the CasADI library and used Matplotlib to generate an animation which, when played side-by-side with the footage of the landing, results in remarkable similarity to the actual landing dynamics.

Efficient SQL on Pandas with DuckDB

pandas is an indispensable tool for Python data analysis. It’s also a standard for data transfer between elements of the Python data ecosystem. But sometimes you need some good ol’ SQL in your data workflow. With DuckDB, you can perform SQL queries directly against pandas data frames. DuckDB is faster than pandas in some cases and can even handle larger-than-memory data.
