I used to use jupyter notebooks for everything back in college as well (even stats/math homework). Switched to using neovim and the ipython shell in the terminal, once you learn neovim using the terminal becomes so much faster than jupyter in vscode. Also you can use kitty terminal to display plots in the terminal and termpandas to have scrollable dataframes like in vscode jupyter, all in the terminal. (i3 window manager/tmux also make the workflow so much faster and enjoyable.)

Thank you, I'm following your suggestions

Jupyter notebook can actually work with AI assistant like codeium same way you do in VSCode.

[amiralikulov]

Cool. Is there anything simillar in PyCharm ?

[IustinDornescu]

It's a good practice to have most of the code in python files - benefiting from the IDE of your choice, and separate reporting to notebooks focused on presentation. The mix of code (functionality) vs reporting (visualisation) depends on the data science project.

Hi Dave, what VsTheme(s) are you using ? looking very clean. Like always, appreciate the sharing of your knowledge.

would this work with a deno kernel in a jupyter notebook too?

[osznnum]

i would recommend the google collab but only the runtime problem with free version

[gedtoon]

In Jupyter, why can I still not cut and paste text in a cell using the mouse?

[axhraf]

I'm assuming you don't do any heavy pytorch stuff where you need a GPU? Or do you just run them on your mac?

[GuanglinDu]

I couldn't agree with you more, Dave. Thanks for your informative video on how to use my favorite IDE VS Code with Jupyter Notebooks. This combination seems to be the best duet for data scientific research.

[osznnum]

If you use VS Code then you need to use your existing GPU/CPU but with collab you can use TPU AND GPU free

[chongdashu]

Great tip, might migrate completely to this workflow. Jupyter Notebooks are great, but as you say, very clunky when approaching as a software engineer.

[abc_cba]

I completely moved to google colab to save RAM and space being overused by Jupyter, only while complex coding do i use vscode else, even docker images are my option

[pawelkubik]

You can also use #%% comments to mark sections of your code as "cells" that would be executed as a whole with the keybinding.
I'm not sure if this "run cell" does not conflict with "run line/selection" on some platforms, but you can fix that in the config.

Definitely, I prefer your workflow over Jupyter Notebook. I am in the phase of testing Cursor, which is similar to VS Code but has some more AI features.

One can use marimo instead of juoyter, or one can even make Code use a notebook. I think the presenter did the latter, but not marimo.

[John-xiim]

I am bounded to use jupyter notebooks because of low level processor (AMD Athlon Silver 3050U) which is present in low priced laptops, as I am searching for a job, I had less money hence I bought this laptop.

[ringpolitiet]

Agreed. It's the only way I work.

There’s something I’ve been struggling to understand. Why do so many indie devs, especially those not using windows, continue to use vs code? Unless you’re living under a rock, and even a dev living under a rock would know this, it’s pretty much a given that whatever you type is being shipped off via telemetry, and that then opens up the risk of people with way more resources at their disposal, to simply copy, iterate quickly on whatever you’re building, and bring it to market before you’ve even had a chance to test. What gives??
