Create an inverse of Tupper's self-referential formula where you can, given a drawing, find the corresponding value of K that draws that image.

SQL practice tool

I find that online tools for practicing SQL queries are inadequate, they suffer from numerous problems that should be addressed by any (new) alternative.

Specific question sets, i.e. a decent collection of division problems A website that looks like it was rendered this century Insight into the dataset being tested against. If I was to build this I could imagine doing it using a Python back-end and I would build in a roll-back feature if the tool ever was to be extended to such a degree that one may practice directives such as UPDATE.

Nice to have the opportunity to load in one's own dataset.

The developer app

Get a message (Tip of the day) each day with, for instance, hotkeys for your favorite editor/editors/programming languages.

Let users skip certain tips: "I already know this" so that it doesn't appear again. Use a Bloom-filter.

Let users select "Emacs", "Vim", "Git", etc.
