About DaCapoo

I'm a fourth year (senior) student dual majoring in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. I'm also working as a Security Intern/Consultant at [redacted].

If you would like to get in contact with me, comment on one of my submissions and ask me to get in touch as I'd rather not post my email.

    He's referring to the (1984) movie "The Last Starfighter", in which an arcade game is used to recruit a fighter pilot. It's also where patio11 + ptacek got the name for that projec…

    I have not looked over the Havel-Hakimi algorithm yet, but here's the best way I've found to solve these (with 100% success rate so far) 1. Pick the node with the highest degree 2.…

    The book itself is amazing, yet I found it had the same effect as other books that hold similar messages - it just doesn't translate well into my day to day thoughts. After reading…
