While one-way functions (functions that are easy to compute, yet hard to invert) like integer multiplication are familiar and intuitive, the idea of a function that is hard to invert except if one possesses… » Read more
Sequencer identifies number sequences. That is, given a list of numbers like $$(a_n)_{n\geq 1} = 1,\; 2,\; 4,\; 8,\; 16,\; 32,\; \ldots$$ it finds a formula that generates them, in this case $$a_n = 2^{n-1}$$ Sequencer employs neither a library of sequences nor a limited set of… » Read more
quicksafe is a tiny Python script that provides a GUI text editor to edit notes that are then encrypted and stored within the script file itself. Thus notes encrypted with the system bring their own decryption and editing environment, capable of running anywhere Python/Tk can run, perfect for being… » Read more
This package enables semantic highlighting for JavaScript code in the Atom editor. Identifiers are highlighted in different colors (the same identifier always in the same color) while everything else (like language keywords) is displayed in various shades of gray. This approach runs contrary to classical ideas about syntax highlighting but… » Read more
This Sublime Text 2/3 plugin sets the dark theme variant for Sublime's windows on GTK+ 3-based systems that support it, such as recent GNOME distributions. The result is a much more beautiful Sublime when using dark UI themes because the distracting contrast between title bar and chrome is eliminated.… » Read more
