Within home schooling communities, Singaporean style math has quite a following. Singapore also tends to score quite high on international exams. Basically, they focus on fewer top…

The best AndOTP feature for me is the fact that it integrates with OpenKeyChain thus allowing the use of PGP keys for backups. I also wish there were more apps that use OpenKeyChai…

I think the way to achieve your goal is different. Allow non-sociopaths a fighting chance to compete. If you are parent, and you love your family, it is impossible to put in the ho…

Wrap it in stunnel if you can. Basically an https wrapper. Stunnel is increasingly useful for all kinds of VPN especially when you are traveling since more and more places are bloc…

Yes, but they have been bypassing due process by using 3rd parties instead of going directly to telecoms. And the friendly folks at Palantir et al are only too happy to share.

Verizon has a section of their site to turn off marketing and adjust privacy settings. Notably absent is the ability to turn off location sharing. I emailed the privacy department …

Never heard of OnlyOffice! They had a good comparison between them and libreoffice/collabora: https://medium.com/onlyoffice/onlyoffice-vs-collabora-a-crit...

Ease of sharing is precisely why it's so powerful. I can send a link to a shared spreadsheet without the person having to login. Very little friction. Also, being able to co-edit i…

https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/ The only thing keeping me with google is gdocs. But I'd rather not keep my private data with them. Libre office online does not appear in goog…

Noticed this on Monday. After registering for fraud alert, they send an email that has link to http://www.equifax.com/fcra for free credit report. This was getting hijacked. But no…

One way to solve this problem is to create a data license that allows data sharing for replication use only until some embargo date set by the researcher. This would allow external…

Emacs provides support for all major databases. You can interactively "send" chunks of sql to the db client, get syntax highlighting, etc. However, this seems better in that it doe…

It would be awesome if financial companies were required to provide free api's along with the full financial history. Currently companies like BOA charge you for automated access t…

I like it too, but I had issues when I had to compile packages and other stuff. In particular, its version of qmake can interfere in unpredictable ways.

Who are the companies that are pushing this? The article, surprisingly, doesn't say.

Babun provides an nice layer over cygwin (preinstalled oh-my-z and other goodies) along with an excellent package manager as well. https://github.com/babun/babun

On the similar note, the NFL app on my android, which was installed without permission and cannot be deleted, sends 10s of megabytes of data to Verizon even though I've never opene…

Does this work with emacs? I love the integration of psql and emacs, but this would be even better. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SqlMode

In theory, your passwords are encrypted locally before they are uploaded. They claim that they are unable to see your passwords. That said, they are right next door to Langley, VA …

I've played with many of these. And this one is pretty good. One thing that I'd like to see is a "verbal" option in these types of apps. I have trouble "hearing" math and keeping i…

Awesome work! Just got a subscription. Glad you have a digital-only subscription too!
