How this was made

Visit the list of U.S. state abbreviations on Wikipedia.
Sort the table by "status of region" to group the states together
Select the cells of all of the states (from "Alabama" to "Wyo.") and press ⌘C to copy
Cut the TSV in your clipboard to two columns (name and two-letter code)
```
pbpaste | cut -d$'\t' -f1,4 | pbcopy
```

I've found two ways to install the GDAL Python bindings on Mac.

First, you can install the GDAL Framework via QGIS (or get it directly), and then do...

from numpy_lru_cache_decorator import np_cache

@np_cache()
def function(array):
 ...

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

/screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
/ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
/printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
/prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.

	including Pip-installed dependencies.

	Lots of issues requesting this functionality in the Conda issue tracker,
	e.g. https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9628
