There have been many variants of this 'generic' card deck published on board game geek

* https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/39987/one-deck (my own attempt)

* https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/59655/rainbow-deck

But for something different, I suggest looking at the Decktet, https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37301/decktet , which is an unusual multi suited deck, which people have ported games to use.

Interesting timing, as Splunk is running its regular Boss of the SOC and Boss of the NOC starting Monday. This is a simulated Security Operations Center, and Network Operations Center, used for training and competition :)

Signups for BOT(N|S) end today (16th October), check https://conf.splunk.com/connect/boss-of-the-soc-and-noc.html There are also frequent regional BOT(N|S) that are run, more details on the website.

Past datasets for BOTS can be found at https://github.com/splunk?q=bots , and many related Splunk Blog posts about it can be found at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/tag/boss-of-the-soc.html,. These are freely avaialable, just download the data, copy to a Splunk instance (also free, as the data is already ingested), and you're good to go and start practcing.

Disclaimer, I work for Splunk, and am helping coach in the APAC BOTN next week.

I'll also link to the Splunk Attack Range, https://github.com/splunk/attack_range . This allows you to quickly spin up a small lab environment, then quickly hit it with a bunch of realistic attacks. All that data is then is then sent to a prebuilt Splunk instance for you to practice your investigation and analysis, and even integrate with Phantom, Splunk's automation system. Check out the video for it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIbln7OQ-Ak . Again, this is all free, no registration required.

What works for me is scaling the number of doors to 100 (or more). Now the initial guess is correct only 1% of the time, while switching is 99%.

RoboCup was founded almost 23 years ago. While the physical robot leagues often garner most attention, there has always existed a simulation league, of both 2d and 3d varieties. https://ssim.robocup.org/

Agree that that is an awesome article.

Suggest you include the posting date on that page, as reading it, I wasn't sure how recent the info was. I was then shocked to find that these vulnerabilities were identified late last year. Some of these are security 101!

Yep, that was me. I closed the PR before ready, but Cody quickly sorted it out.

And that same bank doesn't distinguish between upper and lower case characters in the password either.

I'm going d

Oh wow, I've just realised your that Steven Degutis, author of Mjolnir, of which Hammerspoon is based!!!

Any reason you've built a stand-alone app for this, given Mjolnir (and Hammerspoon) can do this pretty easily?

I've built similar functionality using Hammerspoon, configuration described at http://simonduff.net/hammerspoon/

However, I normally find myself lazy, and normally end up using the trackpad to drag windows to corners and edges to resize (also built with Hammerspoon)

Mental chess is a bit tough of a challenge. Why not try mental four in a row? Still a bit of memory work required, but not to the extent that chess or blindfolded go require.

I wrote an app to let you play, starting with playing with one colour, before moving on to invisible.

https://simonduff.net/invisilink to play in your browser, and a link to the Android app. Appreciate any feedback :)

I have a similar REST based file server without Flask documented on my site, http://simonduff.net/simple_rest_server_in_python

(No DELETE though, its mainly used for prototyping)

Starting something in the hopes of making an extra $1,000 a month is every bit as worthy as trying to colonize Mars. Start small and give your ambitions room to grow.

I suppose smaller targets are just as applicable.

Why would you still buy from the same manufacturer that denied bad (and potentially deadly) design?
