Edge's 'read aloud' is also excellent; I haven't found an alternative browser or extension that sounds as natural.

The fact that it works with PDFs is helpful for proof-reading, too (especially when it highlights each word it reads).

Huh, it is quite good. My main gripes is it doesn't have a way to favorite certain voices, so you have to scroll through a big list to find the right one, it doesn't have automatic language recognition (like google translate), and when there's two languages in the same text, it just skips the text that isn't in the language of the selected voice. It makes it difficult to use it multilingually, But I expect it would work better for someone monolingual.

Have you used DifferentialEquations.jl? From my reading, it seems to be the most performant solver out there — and I personally love using Julia and its ecosystem. There are some really interesting talks by Chris Rackauckas about what's possible with DiffEq/SciML packages — ModelingToolkit.jl seems especially exciting for automating the development of scientific simulations.
