It can also be lost over time! I finished high school (which had analog clocks in all the classrooms) a long time ago, and have always used digital clocks in my adult life.

I recently purchased an analog watch on a lark, and it took me a week or two of use before I could read it quickly again!

In addition to what others say said, computational complexity, is a big reason. Gaussian Process and Kernelized SVM have fit complexities of O(n^2) to O(n^3) (where n is the # of samples, also using optimal solutions and not approximations). While Neural Nets and Tree Ensembles are O(n).

I think datasets with lots of samples tend to be very common (such as training on huge text datasets like LLMs do). In my travels most datasets for projects tend to be on the larger side (10k+ samples).

Maybe it's improved since I last used it (seems to still be an issue per a 1 minute google search), but OpenSCAD doesn't really have easy support for dimensioned drawings.

While it was very handy for my programmer brain to create a few 3D printed things, when I wanted to create a drawing for something I'd make myself, adding dimensions seemed very unwieldly. I used a different CAD program for those projects (maybe Autodesk Inventor?).

Some cool ones do support CLAP, such as:

    - Surge XT - open-source synthesizer with literally 10k presets built in: https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/
    - TX16Wx - free for non-pro use soundfont sampler: https://www.tx16wx.com/

While they may not do everything, to me as a novice, those two do cover a lot of ground for free.

Very cool! DuckDB also has a WASM version for flexible in-browser analytics/visualization: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb-wasm

DuckDB is awesome! I find it the easiest way to ingest data from various sources then query it into a form I can do analytics on.

The datasets I work on are a bit too big for pandas, but spark is way overkill for them. DuckDB lets me efficiently work on them using only a single computer.

His linear algebra video lectures from 1999 are fantastic: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra...

I used them ~2006 when I was college. Someone I know who just graduated this year in mechanical engineering also found and used them independently from me.

In my social circles, we've always talked about Gilbert Strang as the best math professor who never actually worked at the university we went to.

Unless you're a poor soul who tries to use their Windows based sync client :-P

Surefire makes good comfortable reusable earplugs that aren't too visible (if you buys the transparent ones). They're not as effective as foam earplugs, but often that 10-12dB is good enough! Some models have holes you can plug/unplug to increase or decrease the amount of sound blocked.

They're often promoted for firearms use. However I don't own a gun and I enjoy mine for loud clubs and the like.

Indeed, also Augustus Caesar owned (or at least claimed to own) Egypt as his own private property. That would be difficult to quantify in modern terms.

The apple pencil is pretty good. As of the most recent generation of iPads, all current iPads support it too (not just the iPad Pros, as was the case in the past).

Aw that stinks. Transmit was the first app I bought for my iPad Pro. I use it every day.

I guess it'll keep on working for now.. hopefully someone else fills the gap in the future.
