Some notes on how to ship fast and why it matters. This is from my perspective as a indie dev and a startup founder, but I think some lessons here for everyone.

When the engineering department of a company is not the major lever in the company's growth this philosophy might be fine. That's the case of many large enterprise and probably many startups too. When the competitive advantage is

Creating and using virtual environments in Jupyter has always felt a little painful. Now thanks to uv things can be so much better. I've integrated uv into my Jupyter notebook client, Satyrn. It makes quick experiments in a fresh virtu

Thank you for the advice. I get how this might be better suited for a regular blog post rather than Show HN. I will repost it in a month or so. Hopefully some people might find it interesting.

Thanks! That's a great idea. I have been thinking of doing something like this.

Great feedback, thank you. I've heard this before. I'm thinking of keeping the default but adding an option in settings to "ask before installation" for users who prefer that behaviour (similar to VS Code).

Thanks! I just used the builtin MacOS screenshot tool to take the screenshots. I used Tailwind to style the page. I really like the default shadow that the "selected window" screenshot adds, but since there are also "selected

Thank you :) I did write the entire client. I will add support for those soon! I love interactive widgets.

Even as a command line power user, I still wish it were easier to install dependencies while working in a notebook. If I'm working on a project I don't want to have to switch to my terminal if I can solve the problem in one comman

Awesome! I did some explaining in this comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40899748 Good luck with your project. Let me know if you'd like any tips on the code editor stuff or anything else I can help wi

When I learned to program I was working as a scientist. I was relying on OriginLab (a scientific version of Excel) for my data analysis and it was a real pain. I decided to start using python for analysis and plotting and started with scrip

Is this it? https://www.sagemath.org/ This looks like a programming language built on top of Python. Satyrn only supports the Python programming language right now. If you are using this on the regular, I'm curious if

It can be confusing. The key is that you probably have multiple versions of python installed on your computer (that's normal). Secondly, the default "kernel" in Jupyter was probably not the one you used to install torch. I&#x

Thanks for your feedback! I'm looking into this. I'd also really like copilot here.

I'll work on making them easier to configure. At the moment you press `g` (for generate) while in command-mode to create a "prompt cell". I'll think of ways to make this more obvious. Appreciate you spending the time to

Thanks! I'll let you know when it's ready. What do you use now to work with remote environments? JupyterLab or VS Code?

Thanks for your feedback! If you'd be happy to share: I'm curious to know what scientific field you work in? Do you do 100% computational work, or is it a mixture of experimental and computational?

I agree! At the very least I can port this to Tauri to make it have a smaller footprint.

Agreed, that's a big one. I'd love to add that capability to Satyrn too.

There aren't many great production-ready open-source frameworks for code-editor components in Swift. I assessed quite a few but found that the feature completeness was far from what I needed. I tried to fork [CodeEditSourceEditor]( htt

Curious how other people run these kinds of experiments on their production data in a safe way that does not affect performance of prod. Eg how do you avoid CPU spikes in prod that might effect users?

I like where you are going with this. What would that business look like? Would this be a new journal with a different way of making money or some kind of aggregator service? Seems like an aggregator service would be the most appealing way
