it's remarkable how much of this project has been about creating the right plots. makes me think about Latour -- the research is a manufacturing process for the plots (or at least for the software that generates the plots)

Side-note: Here’s what you need to know about coordination. In every computer — from a multicore chip on your phone to a cloud data center — many threads of execution are running at once. Almost every piece of software you run wastes enormous time coordinating with other threads to “leave its swimlane” … usually to modify bits of shared data. If each thread would just “stay in its swimlane”, all the threads would run at full speed. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise (including peddlers of so-called “lock-free” data structures): updating shared data requires coordination and is a #GoSlow button for your software.
