Has it ever happened to you that you’ve rebooted your computer and forgot about that important Jupyter Notebook you’ve intended to use later? “It took so long to finish and all is lost now”.

I feel you! It happened to me many times.

Well, the only advice I can give you is to “Restart the Kernel and rerun all the cells”. But it doesn’t have to be like that next time.
