← IDEAS? What Should We Do Next?

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Adding 7z compression/decompression tools

    Data needed to be uploaded/download may be huge. 7z format is widely used and one of the best existing formats fo far.
    Adding support for this compression format would be great

  3. I would like to see the ability to display Spatial Data on a map. Points/Polygons/Locations/Distances/Clustering etc.

    There needs to be a service that can display large data sets on a map. This service would be similar in nature to the application QGIS. The elements that should be able to be displayed would be point locations/polygons/line of points etc. Colors should be able to be assigned to different types of data based on criteria specified. An example is attached.

    under review  ·  Leons Petrazickis responded

    Currently there are two ways to upload notebooks in BDU Labs:

    1. Open My Data in the sidebar. Use the “Upload Data” feature. There is a known limitation of only being able to upload within /resources/data, but Jupyter will still recognize any ipynb you upload as a notebook.

    2. Alternately, open Jupyter. After it opens, drag and drop your notebook from a file window (e.g Windows Explorer or Mac Finder) into your browser. It will upload the notebook and flash messages at the top of the screen while doing so.

    I appreciate that these options can be a little obscure. We’re always reviewing ways to make the user experience in BDU Labs simpler and more intuitive.

  5. Support for GPU computation

    As Tensorflow is accesible through Jupyter notebooks it could be great to have GPU support to train Deep Learning models

  7. Support for .gz files

    Is it possible to allow for uploading .gz files? I have some relatively large files that I would think would want to be uploaded in a .gz or zipped format, and then have a script that can unzip and work with them from there. Thanks.

  9. The black bar on the top takes a lot of screen estate.

    Have the thick black bar at the top hidable so that screen estate can be conserved.

  11. I'd like to see video lectures within a notebook so I can type and run code while I watch lectures

    Every online course on programming tells me to download a notebook and run it on Continuum.io (Jupyter). Why can't I watch a video and practice coding at the same time? I'd like to be able to have a notebook open so I can try coding while I watch a video lecture. Better yet, there are many meetup recordings out there on programming, data science, and big data. I wish I could rewatch them with a notebook open -- all in the same interface.

  12. Allow direct linking to an existing notebook

    A good enhancement would be to allow direct linking to an existing notebook. Instead of automatically creating a duplicate, with a suffix, why not just open the existing notebook.

  13. HALT writing of hs_err_pid ... log files

    HALT the writing of so many hserrpid### files; Once 3 have been written (indicating Java has run out of space), force the user off the account until the problem is fixed instead of writing hundred of hs_err...log files. Especially since there isn't a BULK delete option. Thanks!

  14. Allow folder synchronization with Google Drive

    It would be great if we could selectively sychronize folders with google drive / dropbox as it would allow us to automatically backup the code as well as the data. In addition it would be possible to synchronize these with local devices which in turn can allow us to work on the code in local machines which are running in areas with poor internet connectivity.

  16. Julia

    I've been working with Julia (and Jupyter) for over a year. It's pretty robust and Julia is kinda addictive: certain things can be written quite elegantly, and it's hard to rephrase in other languages. Spark integration with Julia is still early stage...

    I would like to see support for Julia in the Data Scientist Workbench. This may support development on Julia/Spark as well.

  20. Notify me when my workbench finishes awakening from hibernation

    I'd like an e-mail or something to tell me when my account is back up from hibernation, because it takes a long time to wake up (30min).
