To back up the other comment, recent studies find that students from worse secondary schools with worse grades end up outperforming students from more selective schools with better…

This is how traditional desktop operating systems work... some things require admin rights but most stuff is indeed fully accessible to any application.

To back up what the other comments are saying, recent studies find that students from worse secondary schools with worse grades end up outperforming students from more selective sc…

Note that this paper is from 2010 and thus, while quite influential for its time far from the current state-of-the-art. The stroke width transform method that it introduced is simp…

If you're trying to handle text "in the wild" and not scanned documents, the keyword is "scene text". Most papers are focused on either detection/localization, i.e. finding the loc…

Current state-of-the-art approaches in this field are significantly better than existing commercial solutions at recognizing text in the wild (i.e. scene text). As an example, see …

Some (if not most) GUI Git tools should do this, e.g. I personally use Git Extensions[1] which shows history and diff side-by-side. For what it's worth, features like that (along w…

Thanks, that's some very interesting and useful feedback! 1. I assume "the ability to content" means voting/commenting? ;) 2. The advantage of those colored bars is that they are v…

Thanks for your feedback! Voting and commenting is definitely planned, however I'm waiting on the API to add support for authentication first. The app actually does not use the API…

I released this app a couple weeks ago, but the initial submission [1] did not get any traction here so I thought I'd resubmit it. Hope that's okay. All the various sections and ca…

Glad you like it and thanks for the suggestion! FWIW, I know a lot of apps have that feature but I personally never found it very useful, which is why I did not include it, but I'l…

Sure, just need your Microsoft account email so I can add you to the beta list.

Would you be willing to beta test my application? It's pretty much finished already and doesn't have any of the issues you listed (in addition to having a, in my opinion, much nice…
