The solution is actually pretty easy. Move the browser side of the Jupyter equation to a desktop. There […]

GIGO – Garbage In, Garbage Out. It’s a fundamental concept in software development. However high the quality of our code, if we feed in invalid data, we’ll get invalid results. And when we’re doing unit testing, we are specifically assessing the functionality of our code, not the validity of our data. As far as is […]
