No. You can (in theory) design a bridge so that it is strong enough to withstand a 1000 year event and has a life expectancy or a single day.

An engineer may say things like “if you build it this way, do this maintenance, it will withstand 100 year events for its service life of 50 years”

You see that (in a slightly different form) with storage media. A SSD drive with a mean time between failures of a million hours typically will have an life expectancy that is significantly shorter (https://www.controleng.com/single-article/learn-or-review-th...)
The story I've heard is that it was Steve Jobs that was working for Atari, and he "subcontracted" the work of reducing the chip count to something affordable to his pal Woz, and pocketed 90% of the bonus for accomplishing it.
the (old) Bay Bridge serviced trains until the 1960s. perhaps the design had higher loads & structural requirements due to that use.

If you don't have the time budget for that, you have to make the trade off of probabilities. It's perfectly possible to hold a basic model of the CPU in your head and predict the performance of your code. The whole reason why people tell you to hold a model of CPU and memory latencies in your head is so that you can avoid writing the slow version in the first place.

NYC Average Floor Count = 38 above ground. People are going to go up ~1/2 of them on average.

If they enter and leave 1 building once per day that's ~38 floors, double again for leaving home to get to work ~= 76 floors. Many people like the homeless or shut ins average less, but someone that is doing delivery's could easily average 1,000+ floors per day.

I could see the overall average easily being 100+ floors, but 50 seems like a very safe bet.

Further, I'd wonder if, while the actual OS is fingerprintable (as the various discussions seem to suggest), reporting one OS whilst actually being on another flags the user as interesting/has something to hide (i.e. they are probably using Tor Browser, not just Firefox).

There's also usability to consider - if this results in more people using Tor Browser, or not disabling things to try and work around it, that might be a net gain.

It’s a simple math equation. Could they make 42% more revenue (slightly less they would have to pay transaction costs either way) by going through a trusted source where people could buy with less friction? If there were no friction to get people to pay for products on your own website, why do people sell through Amazon? It’s trivial to setup a website using something like squarespace to sell your product on your own.

The “fight through the approval process” is exaggerated. Millions of apps get through the App Store every year. How much of an issue would it be to get a paint app on an App Store?

Truth is, all the major desktop OSes have app stores these days, but going through iTunes is a mess. Apple once forced me to use 2FA through my iPod Touch I had registered...yet didn't have on me (I'm assuming they presumed I was an iOS user).

Yet and still thousands of app developers do it everyday.

If you aren’t forced to use 2FA, what’s the purpose of having it? I’ve had to call home to get my son to read off my 2FA code on my iPhone that I forgot to sign in to AWS. If you aren’t an iOS user, there is an option on iCloud to send it via SMS.

Paint.NET could easily charge for their app (or go with freemium model), but they decided along time ago to be freeware.

People are much more likely to pay for something the less friction there is. I’m much more likely to buy something from Amazon/Apple/Steam/Microsoft where my payment information is already on file than I am $random website as are millions of others.

In the military, especially at operational tempos (eg. during conflicts), you're constantly doing stuff (except when you're not and you're cat-napping on a pile of duffel bags or other equipment) and you're normally sleep-deprived.

This of course helps you fall asleep.

The simplest explanation is that ArangoDB uses JSON as dataformat to the outside world. JSON doesn't support these types like arbitrary exact decimal, or timestamps. Despite ArangoDB using VelocyPack internally, which is capabable of much more than JSON, a user will import JSON and get JSON back.

You can of course use datetime https://docs.arangodb.com/3.3/AQL/Functions/Date.html and decimals with a precision of 10E38 in ArangoDB but it is not as precise as in a relational database. If we want to be as precise as a relational DB, then we would have to say goodbye to JSON

This article did not mention overtones:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

Combinations of frequencies that form simple integer ratios are naturally perceived as being consonant, no culture or upbringing needed. As the ratios begin to involve higher integers and become more complex, the intervals they produce are considered more dissonant.

For instance, in ancient Greece, the scales were constructed by combining intervals where the integer ratios have a prime number no higher than 3. The result is a very consonant but almost bland music. Something you could easily fall asleep to.

The major and minor scales from which classical music is composed are made by combining intervals with a prime no higher than 5. This adds more dissonance and makes things a bit more interesting.

Scales based around higher prime numbers (7,11,13,..) are outside the scope of mainstream music although jazz is said to approximate the scales that could be built off the '7-limit' intervals, which explains its more dissonant nature (heavy use of tritone which has a ratio of 7:5, and the 'minor seventh' approximates the interval with a ratio of 7:4).

That covers consonance, but it doesn't explain emotional affect. I think one example that is at least a part of the explanation can be seen in the distinction between the overtones and undertones.

The major scale (and more specifically the major chord) of today's western music is generally considered to be happy, confident, uplifted, etc. The major chord appears naturally in the harmonic series of overtones (any 3 notes played together whose frequency ratio is 4:5:6).

The minor chord, on the other hand, appears naturally in the undertone series which is just an inversion of the overtones (1/4:1/5:1/6). It also occurs in nature like the overtones, although less frequently.

I may have flubbed some details as I'm writing off the top of my head mostly but I think it covers the gist of how harmony can contribute to the perception of music. There is of course also the rhythm and the sense of expectations/irony involved in writing as well.

How to Add UART to Your FPGA Projects
This is sadly true. When it comes to computer security most of humanity is incredibly vulnerable. It's all so confusing for them. Sometimes the URL bar in their browser is a URL, sometimes it's the search phrase they typed and there's no URL. Many can't tell you the difference (still in 2018 this blows my mind) the difference between their web browser and the internet. I actually had a discussion with someone yesterday where they told me they didn't download a document they just previewed it... FROM THEIR DOWNLOADS FOLDER. They thought quick viewing the doc in their OS's preview function was not the same as full blown opening it an app which was akin to "downloading it". I had to explain that the bits were in fact on their computer, downloaded.

It's easy for us to point the finger and say people need to invest in their own personal understanding of this stuff. To some extent I agree but I also want my CPA to spend his free time learning more about the tax code and my finances, not patching his router. Overall computer security needs a reset. For all the complaints of "walled gardens" and "lock in" etc... most folks' iPhone is the closest they'll ever get to a secure computer. That's a shame.

Someone was taking the Paint.Net source, bundling with OSS plugins and replacing all the names/copyright as another piece of software. The person doing so is in another country from the author, so the author decided to close the source.

If you're on Linux or Mac, there's a recreation after Paint.Net called Pinta. It's passable on windows and mac, but the linux version has been very buggy for me, it doesn't seem to be well maintained either. Which is a shame.

AFAICT, many jackpot style lotteries get an expected value (EV) above 1 when the jackpots get big. They're set up so their average EV is 0.4 - 0.5, but when a jackpot isn't won, the payout is under 0.1. String a bunch of those together in a row, and the EV creeps above 1.0.

The calculations are easy to do. You do need to estimate the number of people who buy the tickets so you can calculate the odds of sharing the jackpot. The real number isn't publicly available, but newspapers often have numbers for similar jackpots in the past.

As the article mentions, lotteries protect themselves by making it logistically impossible for anybody to buy every ticket.

In hopefully unrelated story, my Mikrotik and/or my ISP has been acting up in the past hour; I've lost the ability to resolve many .com domains for ~30 minutes, even though I have Google's NS configured set up as the first two on the router. Manual queries (Mikrotik: resolve somedomain.com server 8.8.8.8 / Local: nslookup - 8.8.8.8) resolved correctly; it's just defaults that couldn't.

Came here to talk about this.

Prince Hamet was the heir to the Tripolitan throne before being usurped by his brother and moving to Egypt to live in exile. The U.S. Marines were sent ashore to assist Prince Hamet in retaking Tripoli from his brother (who had been raiding U.S. ships in the Mediterranean). After the first Combined Joint operation in U.S. Marine history resulted in a complete victory at Derne, Prince Hamet gifted Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon with a Mameluke sword - a scimitar he had presumably obtained in Egypt.

Subsequent to his devastating loss at Derne, of course, the Tripolitan usurper Bashaw Yusef agreed to release the members of the U.S.S. Philadelphia and cease his attacks on Americans on the condition that the Marines withdraw from Derne. So it was that the U.S. political class started its long tradition of abandoning its allies and agreements across the Islamic world...

Today, the Marines honor O'Bannon (one of the barracks at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia is named after him) and wear a replica of the Mameluke sword in some configurations of our Dress Blue uniform.

> Combinations of frequencies that form simple integer ratios are naturally perceived as being consonant, no culture or upbringing needed. As the ratios begin to involve higher integers and become more complex, the intervals they produce are considered more dissonant.

This is only true for a definition of "consonant" and "dissonant" that is literally tautological. Yes, one can distinguish between consonant and dissonant, but the assignment of those as "pleasurable" and "not pleasurable" (which is the topic of the article) are incredibly culturally contextual. That is, you can construct a distinction between harmonies that one might label as consonant and dissonant, but the interpretation of that distinction is not universal. In fact, the relevance or applicability of that distinction is not even universal, because there are plenty of musical traditions where this wouldn't apply at all, and therefore couldn't be used to distinguish "pleasurable" and "not pleasurable" music.

In reality, in the grand scheme of musical traditions, the classical European model of consonant, simple integer ratios is an outlier.
