Programming Abstractions in Python
Luca de Alfaro
Why has the site moved? For two reasons.
First, GitHub is able to display Jupyter Notebooks natively. The original site contained links to Jupyter Notebooks hosted on Google Colab, but recently, Drive was able to display the notebooks only if one is already using Colab in Drive. This change makes the notebooks unreadable to casual visitors.
Second, in the new Google Sites, every link to https://www.example.com is replaced with a link to https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com&... , where the "..." stands for tracking information. I believe that this is an egregious violation of the integrity of the World Wide Web: if I put a link in a page, I want that link, not a redirection to a commercial site with added tracking information.
