I was going to post hex as an ideal option, I definitely do not miss dealing with jupyter and all the Python env related headaches, hex solves all of these and then the rest of the more UX related issues with notebooks. Definitely recommend

I didn't suggest it is straightforward, I said they need a system, precisely because it isn't straightforward. Hotels in other reply a good suggestion.

The beds are all terrible. Airbnb needs a bed system. Everything else is just building a system around your needs.

When I had to develop a custom tap for a client, the support I received from the team, the SDK and the general experience was absolutely top class. Love the new site too!

Data modelling is important to highlight, and if OP not familiar with the concept and need then likely won’t see the obvious value of Cube.

Late to the party but I'm somewhat sure that there are no true "power users" of notion (despite what the article says), because of the lack of a feature to see your upcoming reminders. This is such a basic Todo feature. http

Thanks, I think the gant format might be too restricting in the end, but I'll see how far I can get.

Congrats Matt! Very cool to see. A question. I'm trying to find a tool to visualise and document the evolution of obscure sports (purely because I find the interactions fascinating). It seems that your tool might be the perfect fit, es

Minute hand covers the hour hand which seems like it could be improved. I added a country and I couldn't see if it had been added because it was under the minute hand.

Community perception is an interesting point, and it reminds me of a book, Black Box Thinking [1], which I wouldn't outright recommend, but it does an interesting job of comparing safety culture across aviation and medicine. > it is

The video mentions the article. I wonder if the video host Tom's intro slide makes another interesting point - survivor bias. Statistically someone will make it through decades of bad decisions unscathed, and with generous self-apprais

I keep coming back to this article, for me the standout insight is that skill etc does not increase safety, it just determines your "upper limit". What actually determines your safety is the decision making that prevents you getti

Great addition, and a very important point. Analysts are expected to use the exhaust and incidental output of applications to try and generate insight instead of their needs being better considered at the design stage. This is all within th

Would something like the OP linked script be possible for Netflix (and the like)? I hate that the audio is so much quieter than the effects, and it feels insane that this isn't configurable, either at the hardware level (TV) or softwar

Congrats Ken and Chris! I think Patterns is very interesting, having closely followed since the early days (but not affiliated). For those interested, I've been doing some exploring around automation tools more broadly, and this is my
