On this day in Tech history. March 29th 1983 Radio Shack released the first portable computer in notebook form factor. It was know as “TRS-80 Model 100.” #TechHistory

I've been thinking a lot lately about this particular example of what it's like to have once worked for a crappy boss with a selective memory.

Productivity tip: Assume everyone is an idiot.

inb4 yea you are probably an idiot as well, but at least you can effect that.

So the Jupyter Labs container I shared with everyone yesterday has undergone some improvements I wanted to share, namely, it now supports 7 different languages rather than just 4: Python3, ruby, julia, Rust, R, Haskell, and Javascript.

In case you are unfamiliar Jupyter Labs is a way to write notebooks (formated text with inline code that runs and displays elements like graphs or text). These notebooks are often used in science settings and as such I have integrated all the science tools python has to offer more or less. It is a great place to write up technical documents with working code side by side with the data it produces, but its also a great environment to play around with various programming languages and try out snippets without needing a full project environment. Thanks to the support of many different languages it is a great way to learn and try a language without needing to set anything up, since it all runs from a container.

In short just run a single command to bring up the container (the image is pulled from docker hub) and in a few minutes you will have a running web server you can point your browser to and start coing in any of the 7 languages supported. I use it to share snippet ideas. It is backed by anaconda so you can easily upload a notebook to their servers and then share a static version of it with people by sharing a link to the notebook, which can be viewed directly without needing any apps, not even Jupyter Labs installed.

Check it out here:

git.qoto.org/modjular/jupyter-

or just get the docker container image directly: modjular/jupyter-all:latest

@jojo How you been doing lately, last time we talked I think you were struggling to find direction, did you get anywhere with that?

I live in Philly when im in the USA and I just heard police coming down the road sirens blaring and they stopped suddenly outside my house... along with my heart. 10 seconds later, which felt like an hour, both my heart and the sirens resumed.

Woot my jupyter Lab container now supports Rust too! Thats 6 languages in one place.

This is interesting; someone's attempted to roughly map the original Legend of Zelda's overworld to the southernmost portion of the Breath of the Wild map.
