Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Only one HN comment, which mentions ob-ipython and Scimax for using Jupyter inside Org Mode. The comment does not discuss the post itself. The post covers why Jupyter is data scientists' notebook of choice.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Ah, interesting. Tbh I rarely used spreadsheet capabilities and I usually used ob-ipython to load table to pandas in python and after manipulation write it back to org. I mostly use org tables for occasional manual data manipulation. One problem with excel is that temporary steps you went through are hidden - it's hard to reproduce the excel spreadsheet. With org mode + ipython workflow I can trace all transformatio…

  3. I've found ob-ipython [1] within Org Mode to be one of the best options for interfacing with Jupyter. If you're sick of the limitations of working in a browser, it's worth checking out.

  5. I use minikube for dev and it's pretty good. My description of my minikube+pycharm setup: https://kozikow.com/2016/09/16/using-pycharm-docker-integrat... . The only problem I didn't solve yet is debugging python code running in kubernetes using pycharm. If I run a container in pycharm using "Debug..." dialog it launches inside "docker context" rather than "kubernetes context". For example, I can't connect to kuberne…

  7. lispy - I use smartparens, it have mostly similar feature set. Smartparens advantage over paredit (and it seems lispy) is that it focuses on giving good support for editing parantheses groups in any language. E.g. you can use it to edit C++ expressions. See my post: https://kozikow.com/2016/06/18/smartparens-emacs-package-is-... swiper/ivy - I am already hardly locked in into helm. Even if some competing packages ar…

  8. Ah. Quite a lot of things you mention are possible by dynamically generating yaml config. I wrote a blog post about using go kubernetes library to generate yaml : https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube... . It's quite nice, even for static config IMO, due to type safety. You can easily write golang binary that would ask user series of questions "what database would you like", "do you want publi…

  9. I personally recommend client-go, official kubernetes go library. Comments it types made me understand kubernetes concepts much quicker. It's quite small and easily understandable, even without go experience. See my post https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube...

  10. Yeah I generally look at go objects for docs. Also I think just writing configs in go rather than yaml is better. I wrote a post about it: https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube... .

  11. I am using keyboard layout striving for good ratio between performance improvement and switching costs implemented using karabiner: https://kozikow.com/2013/11/15/the-only-alternative-keyboard... .

  12. I propose an alternative to templates: Use go objects to define your config. Better dynamicity, readability and typesafety. See my post https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube... .

  13. I created a layout based on similar assumptions a few years ago. Blog post: https://kozikow.com/2013/11/15/the-only-alternative-keyboard... (including OSX implementation). I also created Linux implementation: https://github.com/kozikow/keyremaplinux . It's also targeting "special" keys rather than letters. The difference is not using modality, but utilizing the right cmd (or the right alt on linux) to activate a lay…

  14. Org mode is very good, if not the best, way to do literate programming. My blog post about it: https://kozikow.com/2016/05/21/very-powerful-data-analysis-e... . I use it at work for data analysis and "researchy" projects. Many of my blog posts at kozikow.com are written in the literate programming style in org mode, and you can see the org files at https://github.com/kozikow/kozikow-blog . People have written whole…

  15. Do you have any idea for algorithm that would find "alternative packages to X", e.g. matplotlib would return seaborn/bokeh/ggplot/etc. ? Some rough idea would be high correlation of their neighbour weights, but low direct edge, but that doesn't work in some corner cases.
