Thursday lightning talks
summary
Forty five‑minute sprint of concrete outcomes: a surprising Python list ordering makes the same loop five times slower; practical comparisons of units libraries (pint, astropy, sympy) and the radian problem; a simulation that finds completing a World Cup sticker album needs ~700 packs solo or ~310 with five friends; a production Rust formula engine exposing pyo3 and wasm-bindgen bindings; quick bootstrapped conference lessons (insurance $273); mountain‑rescue safety bites and a DIY airplane‑overhead alert using constrained IoT hardware. Watch if these exact numbers, tools, and bugs matter.
