@cisaacstern and I were wondering what was the rationale of the lithops project making your own implementation for the lithops [cloud proxy storage API](https://lithops-cloud.github.io/docs/source/api_storage_os.html). There are other libraries that deal...

### Best approach to support reading data from http via a `pathlib`-like class, i.e. `httppathlib`? In the [pangeo](https://pangeo.io/) / [xarray](https://xarray.dev/) community we do a lot of reading of remote scientific...

I don't know anything really about the format of MITgcm output files other than that they are some bespoke binary format, but I can't help wonder if it would actually...

For a while I've been thinking that Cubed and `dask.array` are potentially on a path of convergent evolution to a very similar design. After talking to @phofl at length at...
