An update to my work-from-a-coffee-shop experiment.
I finally got out to a coffee shop with my iPad and Magic Keyboard, and am using this time to respond to emails.
The coffee shop seemed very happy with me buying a coffee and sitting here without restriction. So, that’s what I am doing.
Although they have free Wi-fi here, I am tethering to my phone… feels safer, although I guess I could VPN 🤔
I’m also meeting @… here for lunch, so that will be nice.
Best of all, I can access my NAS remotely, so I have everything I need 😅

Remotely Almost Periodic Solutions of Scalar Differential Equations
The aim of this paper is to study the problem of existence of remotely almost periodic solutions for the scalar differential equation $x'=f(t,x),$ where $f:\mathbb R\times \mathbb R\to \mathbb R$ is a continuous, monotone in $x$ and remotely almost periodic in $t$ function. We prove that every solution $φ$ of this equation bounded on the semi-axis $\mathbb R_{+}$ is remotely almost periodic. This statement is a generalization of the well-known Opial's theorem for remotely almost periodic scala…
