I hope fivethirtyeight are keeping eyes on this

Yesss! I've been looking for something like this for the longest time. Nested thoughts / boards is the way to go!

Will test.

My current stack is something like -

Noteshelf - ipad notes

Clover - mac notes

Bear - phone / personal notes

You can do ipad notes with Clover but I found the UI a little clunky and pencil responsiveness not great.

As a kid I watched the film a bunch. It was scary but I liked it. Worth checking out. Amazing that it's from 1954 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047834/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Super excited to see this. There's plenty of demand for flying with a pet. Especially given the removal of all ESA stuff and the current cost of kennels being so high.

Having this text mode would be a game changer! https://bionic-reading.com/

Thanks!!

love love love substack. I'm fully hooked and spend over 1 hour a day reading on it. The app looks good, I've been waiting for something like this!

A few comments;

- The font looks quite small (on iPad). Have you considered adding the ability to change font and size?

- Now that all my subs are in here, I don't really need to bombard my inbox. Is there a way so that I can mute sending to my email inbox?

- I love to read when flying. Will my inbox be downloaded for offline reading?

Ha yeah very valid question. Noteshelf is a plain sketch notepad on ipad so is distinct from the others.

Why Bear vs Notion - to pick Notion up and write a quick note isn't great. It's much more organized. Bear is better for this.

Why Notion vs Bear - Better for making structured organized notes, better sharability / collab, rich formatting options. I tend to use notion when I want to share notes or plans externally.

Why Roam vs Bear - Bear syncs via iCloud Drive. My work does not allow iCloud drive syncing. This means Bear's notes would be local which I don't want.

Why Roam vs Notion - This is probably the least justified. I wanted to try Roam again for work notes + research. I do really enjoy the bullet point simplicity and linking of Roam. But I know you could do this on Notion. However, once again I feel like there's more structure with Notion and it's less easy to jot down some simple bullet points.

Love this! Current user of Notion (structured planning + sharing), Bear (small on the go notes (mobile mainly), Roam (work + research notes), and Noteshelf (any written notes + sketches). Will be interesting to see if this can replace some of these. I'll write feedback here if I have any. :)

This looks great. We’re very much fed up with collaborating on Jupyter notebooks. Sadly my team can’t use Deepnote yet because all our datastores are behind VPN. Is there a future where we could run Deepnote on our own AWS instances?

This font is amazing. It’s like the letters and words finally jump out rather than then blend into a mush. Having this on Kindle is a game changer. I’m still upset Pocket got rid of the font though. That was one of the main reasons I started using Pocket.

added! Thanks! :)

Doe anyone know of a good ORM for Julia? This has been holding back my adoption of Julia for a few projects

edit: for those who don't know what an ORM is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1279613/what-is-an-orm-h...

Criterion or Kanopy according to JustWatch (in the US) https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/i-live-in-fear?utm_source...

Kanopy is awesome - you get streaming free credits through being signed up to the local library.

I use dark reader for all browsing. I think HN looks pretty good when using the dark mode setting. https://darkreader.org/

For iOS I use Hack https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hack-for-hacker-news-yc/id1464... . The app has an excellent dark mode.

Looks great! Is there an iOS version?

No mention of H3! The hexagonal spatial index https://eng.uber.com/h3/ . This library has been a game changer for my work. Before I had to create hexagonal grids using shapely and then use spatial joins to aggregate the data. With H3 you can go from a point to a hex really quickly.

Here’s the python wrapper for the library- https://github.com/uber/h3-py

I love foursquare so much. I still use it all the time and in every country I visit. The community is unique and always delivers solid recommendations. There's much less noise when compared with yelp, tripadvisor, and google.

Hi Peter. Can you be furloughed or have a reduction in hours if you are on a L-1 visa?

You can share your iPad screen on zoom. I‘ll do sketches that way. Sadly the other person can’t interact with it.

I love Matthew Rocklin’s (the maintainer of Dask) blog https://matthewrocklin.com/

As a music consumer for years and blogger in the blog house days.

For me -

Electronic + Dance - Resident Advisor. Specifically the best of the month features.

Upcoming indie + Pop - Pitchfork (not what it used to be but still a great resource).

More cutting edge upcoming indie + pop - Gorilla vs. Bear (Spotted the likes of Leon Bridges, Charli XCX, Tyler the Creator)

Soundcloud for mixes

Spotify for most listening. Discover weekly and artist radio can unearth some gems.

MixesDB for finding tracks from mixes.

I never listen actual radio.

Wait does Apple maps not having cycling directions??? Only just realised that.

Absolutely love it. For Mac OS - spectacle or magnet are a must for arranging windows though.

How does this compare to SnippetsLab? I see it’s inspired by SnippetsLab

Our household has been trailing PaperKarma https://www.paperkarma.com/ for a month. It thinks we have unsubscribed from a substantial percentage of mailers. The volume of mail we get next month will be a good indicator of whether it actually works..

Yes to pickling models!

I switched from pipenv to poetry over 1 year ago. I love it!

The main reasoning was so that I could easily build and publish packages to a private repository and then easily import packages from both pypi and the private repository.

Happy to answer more questions.

Hey Patrick. I drive past the current office quite frequently at night and notice most of the TV screens in the meeting rooms are left on (on a dark blue idle screen). For the sake of the planet, can you switch these off at the end of the day? It's frustrating to see such an innovative company wasting energy on something so easily fixed.
