There is a call with iPhone feature as part of the Handoff functionality. So can then conduct the call via your Mac or switch to your phone. So in typical fashion a redesign with a more Apple centric feature set.

For a minor shortcut? It really only saves you an extra tap or two.

I’ve got it on my home screen and it’s as simple as raise to wake while authenticating Touch ID then 3D Touch settings and select WiFi (you don’t have to lift your finger just slide) and tap the toggle. You can also just ask Siri.

We get it. We’re talking about turning WiFi off via settings.

I’m not sure I see the issue with iOS11. 3D Touch Settings and select WiFi and toggle it off. It’s about as much work as opening control center. If you don’t have a 3D Touch phone you have to open Settings and Navigate to WiFi which is righ

Having used the Lytro Illium, which appears to run in some flavor of Android I have to disagree. I expect my cameras to be mechanically fast. I don’t want software getting in the way.

That is a horrific site to navigate on mobile.

Possibly, but you'll also have to break the monopoly the Mathworks have on Universities.

I’m a long term Matlab user who now enjoys using Python. Students still like to stick to Matlab because of its pretty simple IDE and decent documentation. The various Python IDEs like Canopy and PyCharm are too often complicated for enginee

They're just screen capped from the actual tables in the paper PDF.

It's also worth pointing out that iOS already has an option to erase your phone when the PIN is entered incorrectly a certain number of times. A lot of companies enforce this if you receive your work email on your device (eight times i

As a European looking on, the US political landscape is increasingly bizarre. I wonder do Americans view us in the same way?

She sounds younger to me, but very natural sounding. Will be interesting to see how Siri on Home Pod works out.

I never liked LyX, at the time I found it difficult to extract a standalone tex file from it.

Yes, generally the response to first seeing the output is wonder at how elegant and professional it looks.

LaTeX is a wonderful gateway for many students to expand their exposure to code. A lot of students will shy away from coding prefering more hands on work in the lab. Some students will use Matlab or LabVIEW to perform some essential task a

This is pretty cool! On the other hand I'm reminded of the horrors of LabVIEW.

Funnily enough I can track my relationship with my partner with Skype's history. When we were doing the long distance thing and she was still on dial up we managed to use Skype just barely. It was able to route around the University fi

I have to agree. Every version of Skype since 4 has been an exercise in a appalling design choices, in particular on the Mac. Whereas it used to occupy a tiny window listing contacts Skype 5 switched to a large obnoxious screen filling mess

This a hugely important topic that also extends to everyday access in very rural areas. It makes no money so isn't of interest at a corporate level. We made an initial exploration of a concept revolving around, excuse the pun, the idea

There's that old friction between physicists and engineers. Perhaps Feynman wasn't good at building experimental rigs.

You can be pretty precise in blender - you can manipulate geometry to real world units easily. However unlike parametric CAD the geometry is mostly faces, edges and verts. There are a lot of great resources online. BlenderGuru is probably t

It's a classic source/sink problem in fluid mechanics. You can't suck out a candle. Most everything in single phase, low Reynolds number flows is about the interplay of inertia and viscosity. Viscosity acts to run out all mot

I've managed to completely block NI from my mind. When I have to use their hardware (which is mostly good) I use pyVISA or the session based interface in Matlab.

In research environments we often have to use software with UIs designed by, and subsequently abandoned by engineers. Typically some expensive piece of highly complex equipment that only runs on some older version of Windows that every PhD

A lot of academic research is no longer fundamental and is essentially r&D, note the big D. Funding sources such as the EU commission are mostly interested in funding what will have near term economic impact. So you've got entire r
