Perhaps we need to update to a newer version of Jupyter for the arrow keys?
On the reliability front, Sheehan can you tell us what kind of instabilities are you facing? We are quite keen to make this reliable, and generally there are thousands of sessions every week. The sessions are retstricted for memory and compute, and time out after 4 hours - so perhaps that is the instability you may be seeing. For serious computations, we are soon going to launch a service that gives you dedicated compute machines (no sharing or multiplexing). Would be great if you can try it out. -viral > On 16-May-2016, at 11:28 AM, Rob J. Goedman <[email protected]> wrote: > > My apologies. The remark on the arrow keys is not correct.
