It’s currently “invite only” for instructors (mostly just to prevent abuse of the computational resources for, eg, crypto mining). If you shoot me a quick email (travis@pathbird.com) I’d be happy to set you up with a course. You can demo th

Thanks for the questions! It’s not the Jupyter notebook (or lab) frontend, it’s a custom webapp built for learning and specifically around exercise based, guided learning. So a student will go through exercises (mostly multiple choice and c

The original version of it was developed while teaching a data science course for non-CS grad students at the University of Michigan so most of our early efforts has been focused on the education market. My co-founder/advisor/UMic

As shameless self promotion, if you’re interested in writing computational lessons for a course, check out Pathbird (pathbird.com), a SaaS product for creating guided computational lessons (targeted mostly towards university faculty right n

I’ve definitely had similar thoughts, though obviously no one dimension can capture all the nuance we’d really want for the discussion. Personally, I find myself split between liking both (and being frustrated by both). The frontend/pr

I think the article does a disservice to itself by casually adding in things like "SQL injection" and a few other issues that are really not unique to GraphQL. A more concise article that only touches on the issues that are GraphQ

The one feature I want more than anything in the world (and seems to be stalled in Chrome land, which means it’s stalled overall since chrome tends to drive the standards) is the streams API (aka websockets with backpressure). There’s no ea
