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.
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.
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.
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.
Part of the problem is derivative works. I don't think even Disney cares too much if people stream Steamboat Willy - but if MGM Studios wants to create a new Mickey Mouse film that could be a problem for them.
Still I have little sympathy - it's hard to argue that endless Twilight fan-fiction did the franchise any harm. And there's plenty of non-canon James Bond films that have no impact on the main franchise.
Seeing this list and its mix of Email / Phone / Fax / Web systems - and this is only for 50 companies - makes you realise why GDPR-like regulations are needed!
Perhaps this is going the away of Amazon Prime - which started off as subscription for faster shipping but grew to be a one-stop subscription for various things?
The only thing that's annoying is that with GDPR I have to do 3 clicks on every website. What I want is an addon where I can mute / suppress the cookie overlay.
Though I guess with this setup I can do "accept cookies" knowing that they will shortly be deleted.
