Off topic:

Possibly something in my config, but I've recently got a lot of

    "Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?"

when trying to view Jupyter notebooks on github itself. Seems to be working right now.

I have used this as an alternate: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/

I don't think it's just you, I've been getting them too. It's probably Github timing out trying to render the notebook.

I've gotten this as well after uploading notebooks to github. It usually goes away for me after ~10mins after I've uploaded the .ipynb. I'll check this out though, thanks!

I hate jupyter notebooks. Joel Grus puts it perfectly: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUh...

I get it a lot, so I set a precommit hook to render all my notebooks to HTML. With GitHub Pages, I can access them easily.

Re: this - it would be fun to set up a Beowulf cluster of Jupyter notebooks, if you will, and just upload them to Github for free parallell computations.

(Obviously this would be for shits 'n giggles, not any serious work).

Jupyter notebooks and Github are a perfect match if one wants to signal activity.

On a more serious note, I think he trend to stick documentation into notebooks is quite unfortunate and leads to further erosion of documentation quality.

Maybe it's time to be able to run them implicitly on Azure cloud?

This is what we made Kyso for - the linked post is actually a Jupyter notebook itself, the code is hidden by default to make it readable to non-technical people but you can click on the "code hidden" button on the top right to see the code in full.

If github is not working for you well for your notebooks. You can try Kyso by signing up and importing your notebook from Github directly on this page: https://kyso.io/github, or upload it using this page: https://kyso.io/create/study
