I'm old enough that I got my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification and used Minitab (!!!) to do a statistical process control project on some investment banking back office process that was being automated.

Does anyone here even remember Minitab? You kids and your newfangled Python!

I got a six sigma green belt using minitab in ~2018. It's still in use and getting updates, for example they now provide an interface to python: https://pypi.org/project/mtbpy/

Minitab had a good SPC toolbox back in the day.

For the longest time, open source solutions were incomplete in the sense that all of them did x-bar/S/R and then usually never got to the more esoteric but handy stuff. Multivariate, even less support.

I had the privilege of working at a JMP shop! It still gives me the warm and fuzzies.

My uni had its manual in its library is all I can say :)

It can also take notes, write down plans and TODO lists, update on gym records, etc, etc.

If it comes to pass that traffic jams are in large part due to poor human choices, that will bode poorly for the general populace to continue to be allowed to drive.

Flying used to be like this - my grandpa had 3 airplanes, used one to fly a calf back to his farm. But flying got regulated till it's quite rare to meet a casual pilot with his own plane.

One of the most underrated channels on YouTube.

The job found me. A recruiter from current company reached out with an offer.

Maybe I'm missing something but won't submerged structures like these get all covered in barnacles in a few months?

I don't think it is a problem for the outside shell, or maybe just a minor one. For the interior of the reservoirs, I guess the hyper salty water will kill everything that tries to grow there.
