CH2: external pdf link to paper broken about probabilistic-programming-and-bayesian-methods-for-hackers HOT 8 CLOSED

http://mdwardlab.com/sites/default/files/GreenhillWardSacks.pdf seems to be the correct link

Thanks guys! I'll make the change asap, unless one of you wants to send a pull request.

A quick search shows me that the url that @d3v3l0 linked to exists in the repo. I failed to find the link as mentioned by @haraldschilly.

...strange \Chapter2_MorePyMC\separation_plot.py and \Chapter2_MorePyMC\MorePyMC.ipynb are already using the correct links. Do we have here rendering problems?

from probabilistic-programming-and-bayesian-methods-for-hackers.

@rsivapr - ditto. I don't see any problems. @haraldschilly need more information.

Well, I was reading it inside the online nb viewer, specifically here:
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/Probabilistic-Programming-and-Bayesian-Methods-for-Hackers/master/Chapter2_MorePyMC/MorePyMC.ipynb

I just did a shift-refresh of the page to invalidate the cache and yes, the link is still broken. (it's about 90% down inside the text, you have to search for very accessible original paper)

Very strange, @haraldschilly. Your browser seems to be removing the string /files/ from the url. Can you try opening it in some other browser? It seems to be working fine for me.

Can you give some details about which OS and browser you are using?

from probabilistic-programming-and-bayesian-methods-for-hackers.

Well, it's FF 23 and Chrome on Linux, but today it works. I haven't changed my setup at all and it's indeed quite strange. I can only suspect that there must have been some javascript intervention when rendering the file.
Ok, let's close this one. I've found other minor details and I'll send a pull request instead ;-)
