It's interesting, I never feel like I get these exploratory benefits from jupyter notebooks. I just end up feeling like one hand and half my brain is tied behind my back. I'm most productive iterating in a similar way to what you describe, but in an ipython terminal, running a script and libraries that I'm iterating on in a real editor. If there are expensive computations that I want' to check point, I just save and load them as pickle files.
- wiz21c 5y agoreally interesting. I may have overlooked IPython a bit (I just thought Jupyter was its improved version). For the moment, maybe like you, I prerpocess the data (which takes minutes) into numpy array which then take seconds to load. But once I add imports, everything takes about 5 or 6 seconds to load everything I need. So Jupyter remains a good idea. Moreover, I love (and actually need) to mix math and text, so markdown+latex maths is really a great combo. I dont' know if one can do that in IPython, I'll sure look!
- kzrdude 5y agoI have to say I think a jupyter notebook format is a 10x improvement in productivity over ipython. It's just so much easier to work with - and a step more reproducible too, my scribbles are all there saved in the notebook, at least!
