| Jun 2, 2021 at 15:56 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @AndréHenriques Changing the title doesn't break links. Actually, everything after the last bar is ignored: mathoverflow.net/questions/393957/… . | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 6:49 | comment | added | André Henriques | @FedericoPoloni I quite like "How did the pandemic change a mathematician's job?" and wouldn't mind if you changed the title to that. When I said that it's a bit late, I was just referring to the fact that the question is past its activity peak, so I see no real purpose anymore. Also it might make it more difficult for people X years into the future who want to go back and find the question (eg would it break the link from old.reddit.com/r/math/comments/nnc1v3/… ?) But please, do go ahead and change the title if you think that would be an improvement. :-) | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 6:26 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @AndréHenriques Why late? :) Anyhow, it is difficult for me to suggest a good title in my position. Maybe "How did the pandemic change a mathematician's job?", but I don't find it ideal either. That's why I didn't edit it myself or make this remark until someone else brought up the issue of titles. | |
| Jun 1, 2021 at 22:24 | comment | added | André Henriques | @FedericoPoloni. I agree with you that the title was not very well worded (I tried to minimise the number of words in the title)... Now, it's of course a bit late to change the title, but what alternative wording for the title would you have liked to see? | |
| May 31, 2021 at 8:38 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @MattF. How ironic, I wanted to suggest the same thing for the original post 'Changes Forced by the Pandemic': it would get better responses if the title included a question. :) | |
| May 31, 2021 at 1:40 | comment | added | user44143 | This post might be more appropriate, and get better responses, by asking a question rather than calling for discussion. It could be retitled: "Should we close 'Changes Forced by the Pandemic'?" | |

| May 30, 2021 at 16:37 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @AndréHenriques Downvotes in meta generally mean disagreeing with the proposal. They do not carry a negative meaning towards the asker or the question like downvotes in main, and they are often given more liberally. | |
| May 30, 2021 at 16:23 | comment | added | André Henriques | Why so many down-votes to Neil's question? | |
| May 30, 2021 at 14:40 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I am conflicted - I instinctively find myself quibbling over the various contributions, and finding fault when I engage my "proving maths" brain; yet on the other hand I appreciate that perfectionism is the enemy of getting things done, and the various answers might raise awareness among people in one system of issues/ideas arising in another one | |
