Personal blog · khinsen.wordpress.comprogrammingscience
Konrad Hinsen's personal blog at khinsen.wordpress.com covers programming and science. Since 2010, 12 different Hacker News readers have linked it 19 times, most often “Beyond Jupyter: what’s in a notebook?”. The last post was in 2015, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Konrad Hinsen's posts on literate programming, computational notebooks, and scientific Python tooling. Commenters cite them as background for discussions of those topics.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I do not complain. Complaining is like "Uncle Bert was totally drunk again and fell down the stairs and broke is arm and I expect him to change in order to make me happy." Or "Frank did lend my car again and damaged it, and I told him again that I do not like that". What I do is observing things and drawing consequences. "Sorry, Frank, you can't have my car." And: "Well, Uncle Python does of lot of breaking changes,…

HN discussionIt is a very multi-dimensional issue. While all these languages belong to the same family, they also take some time to learn, and each has its specific strengths. It is probably very helpful to think about what matters most to you, and pick what matches your needs best for the first language. Here some axes of distinction: 1. supported programming styles 2. support for concurrency 3. performance of generated code an…

HN discussion(BTW, Norman's server seems to be suffering under the load; https://web.archive.org/web/20210223015500/https://www.cs.tu... has your (Way)Back if you're suffering problems in accessing it.) I've been interested in literate programming for a long time; for my self-bootstrapping PEG parser https://github.com/kragen/peg-bootstrap/blob/master/peg.md I wrote my own noweb-like system called HandAxeWeb in Lua (5.x) https:/…

HN discussionI thought tools like jupyter and rmarkdown are better described as narratives[0] (lab notebooks and report generators) separate from and almost antagonistic to literate programming[1]. At least as I've been exposed to them, notebooks don't easily facilitate code reuse -- libraries aren't written in notebooks but could be written with literate programming tools.
