I don't mind music-on-hold as much except when they break with a human voice at intervals saying inane things such as "your call is important to us. Thank you for holding" Which makes me think the call has been answered. If there's not actual call queue information, just play music so I can ignore it and continue working without that NOP interrupt.

I guess the comment was just about how much Asterisk deployments are out there because you can often hear its default music-on-hold? But maybe I'm wrong.

thats funny, i interpreted this as "Hosted Asterisk People Sell a Default Experience" (and probably charge for custom messages) so its cool to see something different and marketable

An interesting alternative "reverse" take on the Pomodoro technique.

the buttons jumping up and down when correct or incorrect is jarring on my smaller screen, forcing a constant space there or moving the message would be a smoother UX, in my opinion.

Thanks for your suggestion! I am fixing it soon

Agreed, came here to say the same

So does Time Team, and they're back making new episodes.

Really? Amazing.

I loved time team back in the day and I’ve just started rewatching some of them (one of the streaming services has series 13-17 here in Aus).

Might not be the same without Tony, but I see he did pop in for a cameo…

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised: There was an awkward transition post-Tony, but the new hosts have finally hit their stride.

Natalie/Gus/Hilde are far more serene presences than Tony, but they let the rest of the cast shine through. Helen and Derek in particular are the standout presenters right now, and while they don’t have the same manic/ADHD vibe, they’re both passionate and curious in a way that reflects Tony’s style and keeps the narrative intriguing.

Well, I'll definitely be giving it a go, thanks to yourself and the poster above for the heads up :)

>> As of 2025, he also teaches mathematics at Rudgers University.

In the second sentence.

Not even run through an AI grammar-checker?

What's wrong with that?

I believe it's Rutgers, not Rudgers.

Spelling, not grammar. Perhaps OP meant that the comma is unnecessary?

I personally have been using "Auto Tab Discard" for years. It works perfectly for me, and you can set a group of tabs to not unload. It has a ton of options. I have ~320 tabs open right now, for multiple projects and only ~5 are loaded.

Thanks!

Dendrochronology (dating cut trees via counting rings/size/ratios) has its own subjective interpretations, and different databases that don't always line up.

I ended up on Debian/XFCE. Lightweight enough and I've worked out how everything works and have it customized 100% to my workflow.

I remember seeing women on the sides of the highway in one part of town gathering plants to eat, there's plenty of edible stuff out there, and my parents telling me they were refugees. Must have been in '74/'75 and I was a wee lad. In a Southern state. My parents were PhDs from Berkley and UCLA who got positions in the south so it was a weird time and place. For everyone.

I think I saw some of your work at a few Dead shows in ~1992
