> I get an analysis that I like, but there isn't a good way to share it with others, so I end up just taking screenshots.

What would be your preferable way of sharing your analysis with others?

- You can turn jupyter notebooks into pdfs directly in the jupyter UI.

- You can upload them to Gitlab/Github and share the link to the rendered result.

- You can upload them to Colab/Binder/Kaggle and let people play with the code themselves.

- You can turn jupyter notebooks into beautiful websites/documents with: https://quarto.org/docs/tools/jupyter-lab.html

- You can add jupyter notebooks to you docs using nbsphinx: https://nbsphinx.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.1/

- You can turn jupyter notebooks into interactive web apps with voila: https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila

- You can turn jupyter notebooks into presentations with rise: https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila

To add to this, shamelessly self-promoting, Notebooker (https://github.com/man-group/notebooker) is a neat way of scheduling your Jupyter notebooks as parametrisable reports whose results are presented in a little web GUI (either as static HTML, PDF, or as reveal.js slideshow renders)

What is 'alternative data'? The text only says

> 'The company offers a global database of alternative, financial and public data, including information on capital markets, energy, shipping, healthcare, education, demography, economics and society.'

which doesn't really answer the question.

Alternative data is non-financial data which can be tied to various securities.

Financial data, for example, would be EUR USD spot prices. Non-financial data (i.e. "alternative data") could be healthcare reports which you could theoretically couple to e.g. pharma stocks.

The real mystery is this:

> However the Belgian government and security services were kept in the dark, something which the federal prosecutor’s report described as “exceptional between EU states, and something that could lead to a diplomatic incident.”

If this operation was ONLY meant to target a subsidiary working mostly inside the middle-east with legitimate terrorist ties, I'd imagine they would have included the Belgians.

One could speculate that GCHQ decided to go it alone, just to see "what else we can get" in terms of potentially spying within Belgian/on Belgian's citizens.

It isn't even the first time GCHQ has been caught spying on other European countries[0]. But I guess the City of London needs to get their financial "tips" somehow...

Version control for Jupyter notebooks was one of the biggest complaint I had. Specifically, diff and merge with the JSON files (.ipynb) is ugly.

I built ReviewNb[1] to solve one of those problems (diff). Note that, there is nbdime[2] which works well for local diff/merge. The idea for ReviewNb is to have much tighter integration with GitHub etc.

I have used jupytext (https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext) for this and it seems to work great - it outputs a separate .py file which is easily diff-able.

LinkedIn tried to hire me to help with their SaltStack infrastructure several years ago when they were first rolling it out/beefing up their infra with it and I emphatically said no. Even if I like working with the technology I would never work somewhere like LinkedIn, they are scum and working there lowers my opinion of a person.
Desustorm · 9 years ago
Out of interest, why are they scum? Never heard this before about LinkedIn.

This has been the differentiator between Netflix and Amazon Prime - very welcome news indeed. I do wonder how limited the number of allowed downloads will be, though...

This is absolutely fascinating - and stunning that it only took ~90 seconds to be infected. Turns out the source code is... open source:

This reminded me that notch web game[1]. Both kept me interested and I find them a very pleasant form of art.

Desustorm · 9 years ago
Not sure I agree with the terminology of the article (fast rather than quickest accelerating), but I thought this quote was special:

> Speeds like this offer more Gs than Earth, so the rate of acceleration is faster than falling. It can feel difficult to support your head and shoulders if you don’t lean back on the headrest.

Still at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, I suppose?
