Thread: A quick sugar high now from closed products or long-term health through open products. The choice is yours. And you don't get to complain later.
Tim Head, @betatim on the internet@betatim14 Dec 2018
Closed vs open solutions: in the short term closed products (@CodeOceanHQ, @GoogleColab, @kaggle) often offer a more integrated UX and more free stuff (GPUs etc). However, that convenience comes with a certain amount of lock-in. 1/n

hey @ProjectJupyter users, we're trying to assess the removal of qtconsole from the jupyter metapackage: there's a poll on discourse: discourse.jupyter.org/t/poll… and there's also a github issue: github.com/jupyter/jupyter/i…

Poll and feedback on possibly removing `qtconsole` from `jupyter` metapackage

I wanted to start a conversation about the possibility of removing qtconsole from the base jupyter metapackage. Depending on timelines and feedback, it might makes sense to incorporate this into an...

Was a pleasure meeting @betatim in Marseille this week. For him software projects are like mountains, users are hikers, and they need infrastructure around the mountains to take advantage of them. Like @swisstopo maps. If you want users help them use your stuff.

Retweets welcome on this... Ideally would like to rule out low Twitter engagement when determining the general utility of the project in this discussion (I also know I have a stronger conda audience 😉).

I posted about a PyPI-like interface for any PEP-503 compliant package repository at discuss.python.org/t/a-pypi-…. I'm looking for feedback before deciding whether to commit more effort in generalisation and open-development - your input is very welcome!

A PyPI-like interface to browse and search packages in any PEP-503 compliant simple repository

I’m sure most would agree that the PyPI.org web interface is an invaluable entry-point to the Python Package Index, offering essential search and browsing capabilities. It is so useful that I often...
