Edit--realized I forgot to express gratitude for all of your your work on this library, which is such an impressive achievement that I use frequently. Thank you! Is it too...

(Just added a thank you to the authors/maintainers in the first post here, which I somehow omitted the first time). Out of curiosity, went poking around some of the most...

I see four options for including PR and the rest. 1. Include d3-geo-albersUsa-territories in d3-geo-projections (not this package). 2. Add an option to d3.geo.AlbersUsa that would add the territories. 3....

Super, thanks. Edge case note: the behavior is now unclear when _both_ dates are outside the allowed range. ``` r > gender("James",years=c(1930,1930),method="ipums") Source: local data frame [1 x 6] name...

Yeah arrow-on-observable (and more recently (Parquet->Arrow)-on-observable) is really great. Separate X and Y vectors is **bad** on WebGL because you need to attach two separate buffers, rather than passing just...

Following up on @paleolimbot's idea in #20 that struct seems more "arrow-like" than fixed-size list. I think the reason is that the core idea of arrow vs whatever is that...
