I've found it very effective after deploying a local version for our team. One issue: Some users get confused over streams and topics, often posting anything in whatever was the last topic they accessed rather than going to the correct

The French were aware that their traditional (mid-19th century) red trousers were not appropriate for modern warfare. Unfortunately, getting them replaced was not an easy task due to political difficulties. This article (in French) is a go

No problem. This article might be of some interest: https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/ There are, of course, political challenges in persuading researchers to share data, primarily the fear of other researchers u

I'd happily have done that grunt work, back when I was in a lab. The work may not have been interesting but at least I could feel as if I was being useful whilst also paying the mortgage. Instead, I've ended up writing software w

Absolutely. My work has been better than ever due to not being in the office and not having to do a horrible commute (min. 45 mins each way, usually more). The evenings are pretty dull, though - no jam sessions or martial arts classes can r

I'll pass that on, though we're not likely to be back at work for a while.

Definitely not - the staff are working from home (my wife would otherwise be working in the building shown). I don’t think these sounds were ever live.

There's already a related climate project: https://www.climateprediction.net/ I used to work for them a few years ago.

Large university, team of 8. All out-of-hours work is on a “best effort” basis only, i.e. I’ll do what I can (which may be nothing) if emailed.

I have found Soma FM to be excellent for the purpose of masking annoying noises at work, and pay them a small subscription. They have various channels with a variety of useful genres.

I've got the opposite problem - office in the city centre, home out in the country where I can afford to live. So, 30 minutes from my house to the city outskirts, 30 more from there to the office, whether it's by car, bus, or a co

I see a few on iOS from time to time, but they are blocked by Adblock Pro with a hosts file listing Facebook servers.

Indeed. But, they still do this even after I have explicitly requested emails.

I'm dealing with a company at the moment where the interaction tends to go like this: 1. They call my mobile number, but I am not available. 2. They email me to say that they can't get hold of me and ask me to phone them. 3. I con

Yes, it's certainly easy to manage on one system. As the production system I work on is an academic one with few concurrent users it's possible to get away with that.

My SO gets these also. One of the people with the same first and last name as her is a government official and has inadvertently forwarded confidential information once or twice. My name is unusual enough that this doesn't happen with

Being such a tall person, your concern is appreciated. In economy class my knees touch the back of the seat in front even before it reclines.

This works well: https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-for-ios/ ...but, updates to the app will no longer be allowed, so it will eventually stop working on some future iOS update, by which point I hope to have

Based on your description of the scenario I'd think the driver in question considered you a "queue jumper", and their fury at what they perceived as your objectionable driving would cause them to act unsafely. I see similar t

Unfortunately, I think you're right about viable competition. Google's equivalent seems to be the closest in terms of features but from what I've seen the watches are buggy and slow, as well as having privacy issues. I'v

Thanks, that Nokia 6.1 looks interesting. I note the mention of how the sides are designed to be gripped securely; my iPhone 8 always feels a bit slippery. If I could find a suitable replacement for the Apple Watch (which I find very useful

I’d also pay for the ability to see where I was at a particular time, as it does seem like a very useful feature. In fact, I did pay for it by obtaining an iOS app that stores location history locally. Google’s implementation looks really c

Indeed. I don't have a Facebook account and yet various apps on my iOS devices still attempt to connect to graph.facebook.com (amongst other servers I'd rather they didn't, e.g. flurry).
