Definitely not intended as a slight toward this project, just (what I thought was) a funny thought about that expression.
That has absolutely no relation to this project. What in the world are you talking about?
Trust me. It does. ;)
What do you mean? What "management" was this created to fulfill the demands of?
Oh.. I misread. Somehow I read this as that the previous polars dataframe post on my blog had no relation to this website.
You can ignore my comment. It doesn't make sense.
