The winning team did a writeup on the event and how one of the sections they used automation to solve. I think it was a Vigenère cipher.

But in this case, another student is taking your SAT exam after you've handed it in and filling in blank answers with wrong answers.
From that list, workers with disabilities are also exempt?

My one gripe is the font choice on your homepage. Makes it very annoying to read.
Re:eBay user data for sale? on Thursday May 22, 2014 @11:40AM (#7784376)
The iterations are listed as 12000. This value is supposed to double every two years and is around 128k I believe currently.
Might be able to get an idea if you go through old SBIR's

I actually think this is quite clever. It's not a tech improvement but its a domain shift that fits well. I took something from it, in a different way than other clones did.

How can you tell if a process runs as root or is run within a sandbox?

I just clicked and held the middle mouse button to move to the right smoothly.
A decision like this isn't made over night.

He's also providing this blog post. Something he doesn't have to do and has taught me something as I try to improve myself.
Re:Square thinks I don’t exist on Tuesday January 28, 2014 @10:22AM (#7137537)
This is the same kind of issue I've run into with T-Mobile and their adult content filter. I can't turn it off because they use financial data to find out if your 18. So because I didn't have student loans or a credit card I can't disable it without going into a store.

I never thought of this! Thanks for the tip!
Re:Lenovo shows new Android laptop in user manual [pdf] on Thursday October 10, 2013 @01:00PM (#6528741)
This seems weird to me seeing as they could have used Chrome OS. I imagine it's because this will be marketed as a touch screen laptop though.

As someone who has only associated cold fusion with people laughing, thanks. I'll be sure to look into as an option before I start my next side project.
also use - and + to force or remove certain results. (You can use this to limit areas of a website for example)

And you wrote the answer you were looking for as another post in the thread right!
Re:0 A.D., an Open-Source Strategy Game on Friday September 06, 2013 @10:15AM (#6340514)
I've been playing RTS games for ages and the one thing that concerns me is balance. With so many different factions I can imagine this is going to be rather hard to do without a large amount of overlap between them. Best of luck!

People leave private keys in repos all the time. I'm pretty sure this talk goes over it pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwUJ9vpR7Vg

I've been reading though Hacking: The Art of Exploitation. So far I'm enjoying it.
Re:Dear YC companies, I responded. You could do the same. on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @12:30PM (#5519199)
Even just an automated response to know it arrived to the correct place. Treat the application like TCP rather than UDP.
How does one make sure that their code isn't used in a closed source project though? What's to stop them from using it if no outsider will see their code?
Re:T-Mobile CEO: "Stop the bullshit" on Tuesday March 26, 2013 @02:19PM (#5445088)
The biggest "bullshit" is that I have to pay extra to tether.

Ask HN: Why do the names of so many products give no information on what it is?

Dropbox makes me think of storage. iPhone is straight to the point as well as Evernote. Of every application you know with a large user base can you tell what the product does by it's name?So why does it seem that so many companies give up such a valuable piece information into what their product does for a shorter domain name? To sound unique? If there is no connection between the name and the...

It should have some kind of :D emoticon and a question along the lines of "So what's next?"
Re:256 CSS Classes Can Override an #id on Thursday August 16, 2012 @08:45AM (#4390890)
The issue isn't in the base case but derived cases to determine which overrides the other. A div with an id that has another div with a class attribute should override anything done on just the div with the id? But when does the specificity of any chain of just classes become more specific than an id. That is why they have weights.
