Hmm, I seem to have some global installation of the Intel MKL in `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu` for some reason (some non-packaged software decided it needed to place those there, I am guessing)....

I am mostly -1 on extending the format to allow for implicit lengths. The format has been used in the past as a component in ad hoc file formats that...

BTW, for the extra padding, just adding 64 bytes in `_wrap_header()` is going to cause some issues later in the appending process as the append-axis size goes larger. Applied naively,...

I'm not interested in adding append functionality to `np.save()` or a `dirty` flag to the format.

Yes, precisely.

`derivative()` is a very simple function that does a central difference with a fixed spacing that you specify. The default is `dx=1`. It's meant for very simple situations with differentiable...

Hi everyone! I'm the cause of everyone's problems here. As you work through these issues, I do recommend reading [NEP 19](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0019-rng-policy.html) which goes into more detail about why we had...

Sounds like a good plan.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's correct as to the history. I'd leave it to the Docs Team as to whether they wish to change or leave them to achieve whatever...
