The original point was "why would I learn a new thing, when I already know something which works". The response "some people don't have something they already know" is valid.

You're really bringing up a separate point which is "should we be reinventing the wheel?", I think that's a fair point, but it's not a response to the original commentator.

it's a fantastic reference book - not great for learning the fundamentals

Doing this stuff will take time, you can later remove sequences where the person later developed symptoms

It's a bit slow to start, intro ends around 5 minutes, but probably the best thing I've seen on COVID-19 so far.

The batteries are powered by solar panels. In either case the same arguments apply - space is notoriously low power.

Phones can't use directional antennas, otherwise you'd have to point them at radio towers. Using phased array antennas in which directionality is software controlled, there's a trade off between size of antenna and how much you can focus the beam - it wouldn't work in a phone (and would be too expensive anyway).

In the UK I've heard it said you can make a subject access request (SAR) for any information a company holds on you. This would include interview notes for example.

I assume something similar applies in the rest of europe due to GDPR?

It might fix what the OP has, whether or not you call that narcissism. I'd say they've already shown self-reflection by posting their question

And when initially prototyping new code I'd also normally have both code editor and notebook up at the same time.

I think adding feedback for marking cells as dependant on each other might be a good idea.

I'd also love code completion in notebooks.

I think the cleaning and code reuse problems can easily be mitigated by putting functions into libraries and using auto reload.

My normal workflow is hack something in a notebook until it runs, then refactor and put in a library I import with auto reload. I work on production ML and I use this for both software development and research.

Seems like a PR price for GEM pawnbrokers.
