lambdaops··on Nteract 2.0: a ground-up rebuild of the notebook app
nteract is a desktop notebook app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. You double-click a .ipynb file, it opens, a kernel starts, and you're running code. No browser, no server to manage. Just straight up iteration.

We originally built nteract on Electron back in 2016. This is a complete rewrite in Rust and TypeScript on Tauri. We've got a daemon that manages runtimes, a document engine backed by Automerge, and a whole suite of elements to create new frontends.

lambdaops··on Zed AI
There's two ways to make extensions to Zed, providing context for AI. In the post they show off making a Rust -> WASM based extension and also mention a server based model. There's also a third option -- Zed is open source. You don't have to use their auth, it just makes collaboration easy.
lambdaops··on Automated Notebook Analysis via ChatGPT Plugins
There's a plugin in the ChatGPT Plugin store that lets you create notebooks and analyze data (CSVs, databases, whatever). It's called Noteable.
lambdaops··on A legal fund to sue SF over housing deadlock
Show up to city councils and supervisor board meetings. Lawsuits force action on scofflaw jurisdictions.
lambdaops··on California Property Taxes Mapped
Wealth should definitely be taxed, especially land wealth. It's super easy to hide money in land wealth if you don't tax it. We need land to go to the highest best use for cities. Otherwise you end up with terrible strip malls, low density housing, and traffic everywhere.

Whoops, I just described Santa Clara County. And LA.

There are property tax postponement programs in California for that person and honestly, they should be downsizing: https://sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html

Also, I think low-income grandma was and always has been a useful narrative piece. Howard Jarvis, the author of prop13, was literally a lobbyist for apartments and businesses. Please watch The First Angry Man when you get a chance: https://www.kcet.org/shows/the-first-angry-man/episodes/the-...

Note: seniors can use the property tax postponement program https://sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html

Whenever you hear someone bring up the "elderly being priced out" issue, please point out the property tax postponement program: https://sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html

I grew up with the schools here back in the 90s and we largely couldn't pass new parcel taxes because "their kids already went through school and they didn't need it". They were more concerned with all the growing crime, which you would think that maybe the lack of after school programs and growing unaffordability for everyone else was part of the issue.
lambdaops··on Show HN: Kyso – an easy way to share Jupyter notebooks
Probably want the packages in here -- https://github.com/nteract/nteract/tree/master/packages

Roughly speaking, this is just like the notebook-preview component with different styling and some additional UI enhancements (cell hide toggling).

lambdaops··on Show HN: Kyso – an easy way to share Jupyter notebooks
You are more than free to make a PR to make publishing to Kyso from nteract one-click. We have publishing for github built-in and would love to have more.
lambdaops··on Fallout 4 Service Discovery and Relay
Between settlement building and figuring this out, what else is there? ;)

In all seriousness, I made a new character for investigating the relay and fuzzing the server when I wanted so I wouldn't be screwing with my first character.

lambdaops··on Fallout 4 Service Discovery and Relay
Didn't downvote, am the author of the write up. Since I don't run Windows in the house any more, there's little opportunity for mods (I'm playing on the PS4). Tinkering with the network was fun in its own right.

OMG. Definitely didn't think of that.
lambdaops··on Show HN: Hydrogen Brings Light Table to Atom
I'm starting up a way to do this with an Electron app (the base of Atom), called Jupyter side car. It's not ready yet, but will share some of the same components. All this is pretty exciting for the Jupyter project.
lambdaops··on Show HN: Hydrogen Brings Light Table to Atom
Yes please, Jupyter all the REPLs.
lambdaops··on Functional Geometry
nbviewer's load balancer just went out but they've switched to a new machine: https://twitter.com/ProjectJupyter/status/544486376134045696
lambdaops··on CoreOS is building a container runtime, Rocket
Yes, finally! I've been working around this by making users inside the containers that people launch jobs on, but it would be much easier if they could do it individually in their own namespace (not using a docker group either).
lambdaops··on CoreOS is building a container runtime, Rocket
That's really too bad, because the only way for me to spawn containers programmatically is shelling out.
lambdaops··on Nature: IPython interactive demo
Yeah, we'll do our best to scale this out a bit more. We prepped for 512 concurrent users, got plenty more.
lambdaops··on OnMetal: The Right Way To Scale
How do IPs get assigned? Is that still over nova network?
lambdaops··on OnMetal: The Right Way To Scale
This is why I just say bigger than last week's data.
