#32I see no mention of an improved debugger. IMHO, the atrocious debugger in JupyterLab is one of the primary reasons why it is difficult to write good code in this environment. Even a simple improvement like remembering the sizes of various subpanels in the debugger sidebar will make me feel like I am not pulling teeth when I use it. And don't get me started on inspecting the value of variables. If you are looking for…
Do you know how it compares to using Visual Studio Code's debugger with notebooks? I'm wanting to find a notebook debugger recommendation for my students.
The VSCode debugger works amazing with notebooks. I find it super useful all the time when I develop. Just install the Jupyter extensions and it should work

#33I have been using VSCode notebooks with .ipynb file extensions, this gives me many advantages as I am able to configure things I'm not able in JupyterLab. I also have access to a very rich ecosystem of plugins. If there is anyone aware of VSCode as a solution but keeps using JupyterLab, could they explain why?
Only because I can use it anywhere that way, including on machines that I am not allowed to install things on. But if it works in vscode.dev then I am out of excuses, because you’re correct, it’s much much better in vscode.

#34Can somebody give me a quick rundown on the difference between JupyterLab and JupyterNotebook? Whose the target audience for each one?

Please stop doing this. If you have personal experience to share that is valuable. If you are just cutting and pasting from an AI, anyone on HN can do that. It is no more helpful than copying a list of results from a search engine. Your HN contributions should be written by you, not a computer.

#37I keep experimenting with Jupyter in the context of telemetry/fault analysis and then hitting a wall with it where: - I get an analysis that I like, but there isn't a good way to share it with others, so I end up just taking screenshots. - There isn't a good way to take the same analysis and plug new data into it, other than to copy-paste the entire notebook. - The process to "promote" fragments of a notebook into be…

Jupyter supports printing out as a PDF, an all-in-one-webpage and all sorts of other formats. I've used this and the support for Markdown to create a number of documents that I've presented up the leadership chain, or to other engineers across the org "Here's the data, here's the narrative, and here's the code that shows you how I got to it so you can reproduce". Can even share the Jupyter notebook itself.

VSCode Jupyter notebooks + Github Copilot is my favorite way to interact with notebooks. The autocomplete is super helpful for assisting with discovery of matplotlib or numpy operations.

Maybe because the Jupyter is setup on the computing server, where everyone needs to log in to do their works? This was the case for my last 4 companies.
I use VSCode (with the remote extension) for the situation you’re describing, and find it works extremely well. There are a couple little pain points, but none related to the remote part of the equation.
Big positives are how it integrates with the rest of the IDE so go to definition, debug cell, and data explorer just work.
Some negatives are a possibly onerous setup if not already using VSCode as your IDE (to get some of the IDE-like stuff to work), and how there isn’t exact parity on hot keys so muscle memory fails you occasionally.

#40Is there a similar notebook application like https://livebook.dev/ for Python?
I like Jupyter, but after trying out Livebook with Elixir I wish there was something similar in Python.
Smart cells and Toggling parts of code on/off is extremely useful features in a Notebook app.
