I can't seem to recall where I first read this, but I am confident I've read it in multiple articles and books (I have a keen interest in this topic due to serious personal sleep issues).

But I seem to stand corrected[1]. Thanks for your comment.

Very interesting project. Just a minor detail.

> However, I have always recovered from those periods by catching up on sleep.

This is actually a common misconception. In reality, it is not possible to "catch up" on missed sleeping hours.

This is great. Without Jupyter, I doubt I would have started learning data science a few years ago.

Thanks for the input. So, ignoring the touch bar for now, is the (hefty) increase in price justified by the other differences between the models?

Ask HN: Should I buy the new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar or the previous model?

I've seen a lot of discussion of the new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar here at HN, but most discussion revolves around comparisons of the new Macbook and other brands of laptops. I'm about to buy a new computer and I want to stick with a Macbook Pro.The Touch Bar in itself seems annoying. However, the new model has some upgrades.
