Follow-up for after the JB2 switch #280
Description
Here are items we left for follow-ups after #274
- build time on CircleCI is significantly longer than it was with JB1. I could easily consider this as a follow-up though.
From rossbar: I'm considering this "resolved" - I'm fairly confident the issue was the tox configuration not passing in the OMP_NUM_THREADS variable to the build environment. I just rebased #279 on main (after the JB2 switch) and re-ran the doc build. The sphinx-based run took 1m43 seconds to build, while JB2 took 1m17s 🚀
- cleaning up build errors and warnings -- currently we don't run with strict (and we didn't run with a similar manner as we were not failing JB1 builds with these broken links either)
- deployment not to a gh-pages branch -- this could probably be done as a follow-up, too and now just use the file we have. (I need to make my other repos consistent, too so can do this repo along with those).
- cleanup environment.yaml, switch to a more modern and reliable solution (eyeing pixi)
- change internal links to be myst syntax so they will have hover overs
- Request extended amsmath support for LaTeX math rendering. See e.g. numpy.org/numpy-tutorials/mooreslaw-tutorial#building-moores-law-as-an-exponential-function
- Update README/contributor guide for new JB2 patterns.
