Other kids know facts that you don't because people care about different things.

Phil987 | 4 years ago | on: WebGoat is a deliberately insecure application
This is aimed more at companies signing up rather than individuals, but a company called Security Innovation has a product that kind of gamify's (sp?) hacking vulnerable websites: https://www.securityinnovation.com/training/ (the cmd+ctrl training)
They have a couple of fake websites that have a bunch of vulnerabilities of varying difficulty and you get points for exploiting them.
I am not affiliated with them, but saw a demo once and thought it was cool.

Thank you, this is awesome. This made me realize that I was really just interested in these types of homes, not just old gov't stuff.

Anybody know of a good website to that lists these sort of properties for sale? (Not just old missile bases, but other old government infrastructure)

Well, some people say it daily to their friends so it probably depends on the person and the context.

As noted by another commenter, they employ 500k people and execute on thousand of projects per year. Most of those projects are likely success stories to some degree.

Everything is over-engineered and at the same time duct taped and zip tied together.

I have this exact same question. I've found some conventions over the years that have been helpful, but haven't found anything comprehensive.
With regards to what the arrows indicate, I've done dotted line arrows are synchronous, with a solid arrowhead meaning request body and an outlined arrowhead being the response. Then used solid black line with a single solid arrowhead for an asynchronous request.

He's running his program on the testing machine, which would void the warranty.
Phil987 | 8 years ago | on: Bitcoin has risen more than eightfold in past year
Bitcoin is an alternative currency, really the only thing going up is the exchange rate.
Phil987 | 9 years ago | on: Why functional programming matters
He wasn't saying it's the same as C++ to C. He was saying it's like C++ in that it has way more features than it should.
Phil987 | 9 years ago | on: John Carmack on expert witnesses and 'non literal' copying
I don't see where you get that he's threatening the expert witness. He obviously thinks that the expert witness knowingly presented "evidence" that they should know is bogus and is intended to sway the layman jurors who don't know any better. He thinks there should be consequences for such behavior.

Without gloves you could only punch someone in the forehead so many times before your hand starts to hurt/gets injured. With gloves you can go all day.

3a doesn't make sense because the male to female ratio in the industry is not 1:1.
Because 3a doesn't make sense, 4a doesn't make sense.

Basically means to deceive/lie to people.
Phil987 | 13 years ago | on: 23-year-old occupies empty $2.5 million Boca home [video]
I don't entirely understand. He has to live in it for 7 years to claim ownership and Bank of America has already issued an eviction notice, how is he still allowed to live there?

No, each person's video will be different depending on what they do.
