There's a VR game called Panoptic based on the concept, it is worth checking out. The final version is to be released in a few weeks.

I recommand David Beazley's talk from a recent PyCon India on a similar subject : https://youtu.be/r-A78RgMhZU

Mostly live coded, it really is pretty amazing but also quite insightful.

I googled "Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder", this is the first video that came up : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urKKzGybKb0

dask.dataframe might not help but dask.distributed could in that case.

I've had success using it on non vanilla stuff (i.e. code that could not get converted to play natively with numpy/pandas structures)

As a bonus, the nice profiling tools (built within dask) have also helped me improve the performance of the code.

There's also a story about former French president Mitterrand apparent willingness to take it down in the 80's.
I must confess the video is making me feel pretty sick. Anyone else feels the same thing ?
Thanks for providing the video link
