I really want to like Jupyter. But taking notes or working through things in a textbox element just doesn't cut it. If I could build my notebooks in emacs... But then org mode has most of the same functionality.

This actually looks incredibly useful and pretty simple to learn. Between this and Stan I think my free time for the next week is gone.

That's a bozo of an excuse if I ever heard one. Lack of vision, lack of direction, failure to set expectations or execute a plan, better opportunities elsewhere, poor management... those are all reasons for brain drain. Gave them too m

I really think that the tech world needs a better solution for advertising. The state of things over the last 20 years has been disappointing at best. It continues to grow in the wrong direction. When I go to a website, I don't want

Uber didn't lose here. They are getting all kinds of press. There's no real logic in getting rid of the app and those who have tried that have recent phones know that you can't uninstall it - at best you can disable it. But

I find this a bit silly. It wants me to type a whole bunch of things I never actually type. I could type the python function within emacs with less than half the strokes that were required by the exercise. And anytime I'm doing any

Version A was excruciatingly slow. Version B was very quick. I wonder if original dns resolution wasn't to blame... or either load or lack of a recent one on your server. I know I'm a little late to the party in this thread.
