At least in Rmd/qmd, if you see output you have a sense it was run in a certain order. With Jupyter notebook output not even god knows the execution order

"The 'ceasefire' is a diplomatic sham – a cover for the continuing extermination, displacement and erasure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and a distraction for the international public and the media."

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

If you want your work to be reproducible, you have to remember that others don't have the insider knowledge you have. You have to be explicit.

This morning I was able to recreate a file made by someone else because they explicitly documented their definitions, calculations, and their assumptions. 🫶

“Smear microscopy is basically how we’ve been diagnosing tuberculosis since 1882, and I really think it’s time to say goodbye”

Christmas markets in Cologne in 2025

Each Christmas tree 🎄 shows the location of one of the 9 Christmas markets. I created a Christmas tree flat icon as an SVG and imported it into mapbox.com Studio. Finally, I discovered the particle-based snow setting. ❄
