Everyone knows 'goto' is bad, so a language like this needs 'comefrom'

Only 6 days? That's impressive!

Does anyone actually like using JIRA? Or Confluence? Or any of the Atlassian products?

I see where you're coming from. From where you sit Jupyter is a language agnostic tool and so in. But the fact that there's dozens of solutions in this space is surely a problem?

I'd have thought there would be some things you could strongly encourage:

1. Come up with some standard format where the code and the data live in separate files.

2. Come up with some standard format where you can take load a regular .py script as a cell based notebook using metadata comments (and save it again).

If these came out of the box it would solve most of the issues.

I work with a bunch of 'data scientists' / 'strategists' and the like who love their notebooks but it's a pain to convert their code into an application!

In particular:

* Notebooks store code and data together, which is very messy if you want to look at [only] code history in git. * It's hard to turn a notebook into an assertive test. * Converting a notebook function into a python module basically involves cutting and pasting from the notebook into a .py file.

These must be common issues for anyone working in this area. Are there any guides on best practices for bridging from notebooks to applications?

Ideally I'd want to build a python application that's managed via git, but some modules / functions are lifted exactly from notebooks.

Won't help unless we have open chat protocols.

All the open phones in the world won't help if you use closed-source WhatsApp / Facebook. And you kinda have to if you want to talk to your less tech savvy friends and family.

Except that's not what's happening.

They thought they were working for a "good, solid, respectable journal". Turns out their employer wasn't as respectable as they thought, so they quit - not over a disagreement with their peers but over a disagreement over the journal's standards.

If just you look at flight vs train then sure the flight will win. But the train goes from the city centre, and includes a night of accomodation.

If you look at taxi + flight + taxi + night at hotel - the train will be attractive.

If we correctly price externalities (i.e. environmental cost) then the train should win hands down!

There's a healthy power market - so the providers can and should work out a way for their clients to exit their contract and for them to sell the electricity elsewhere.

Sure the client might be liable for some loss-of-earnings fees but this really should be better for everyone than this.

Tether fails bond pricing 101.

If you have an IOU from the US government for $100 it's worth about $99 on the open market.

If you have an IOU from a highly rated US company (e.g. Ford) for $100 you'd expect it to be worth about $94.

Yet we're somehow supposed to believe than an equivalent IOU from tether is worth more?!

Oh and the US Government and Ford will probably pay you some form of interest if you hold it long enough...

It simply doesn't add up!

I've been wondering if such an extension exists! Thanks for telling me about it.

What about car insurance? Is it ok to charge more to insure teenage drivers?

How do you think the process would have gone if you agreed to pay bribes?

Historically gitlab had a stages system: "Do all your builds, then all your tests, then all your deployments"
