Code Review
This pull request addresses broken links to a 'Towards Data Science' article by updating them to a new location. The changes are correct in fixing the immediate issue. My review suggests using a more canonical and stable link from the Anyscale blog, as the proposed Medium link currently redirects to a third-party aggregator site. This will improve the long-term stability of the documentation links. The investigation into the root cause of broken links not being detected by the link checker is also a valuable contribution.
This PR fixes broken links to Towards Data Science (TDS) articles that are now inaccessible (404 or redirecting to homepage). The articles have been republished on Medium's TDS Archive publication. Changes: - Updated Ray Tune blog link in doc/source/tune/index.rst - Updated Ray Tune blog link in doc/source/ray-overview/getting-started.md Original (broken): https://towardsdatascience.com/fast-hyperparameter-tuning-at-scale-d428223b081c Replacement (working): https://medium.com/data-science/fast-hyperparameter-tuning-at-scale-d428223b081c Article: "Ray Tune: a Python library for fast hyperparameter tuning at any scale" Author: Richard Liaw Status: Verified accessible (HTTP 200) Related to ray-project#57187 Signed-off-by: thc1006 <84045975+thc1006@users.noreply.github.com>

Sorry, something went wrong.
The previous commit changed the link to Anyscale blog, but we prefer to use the Medium/TDS Archive link which is more stable and accessible. Changed back from: https://www.anyscale.com/blog/ray-tune-a-python-library-for-fast-hyperparameter-tuning-at-any-scale To: https://medium.com/data-science/fast-hyperparameter-tuning-at-scale-d428223b081c Both links are accessible, but Medium link is preferred for consistency with other documentation references.

The Anyscale blog link is broken and returns a 307 redirect to the blog homepage, indicating that the article has been removed or the URL has changed. The Medium link is fully functional, returning a 200 and accessing the article content normally. |
