My naive view (so take it with a boulder of salt): they might have different bacteria in the alimentary tract.

TIL that in oceans (assuming lack of salinity gradients) it's actually the coldest water that sinks:

> The temperature of maximum density and the freezing point of water decrease as salt is added to water, and the temperature of maximum density decreases more rapidly than the freezing point. At salinities less than 24.7 psu the density maximum is reached before the ice point, while at the higher salinities more typical of the open oceans the maximum density is never achieved naturally.

@aeva @JoshJers an interesting exercise is to figure out what would happen if the steps were to decrease more quickly/slowly than sqrt(eps)

@aeva @JoshJers

Imagine a random walk where each step advances time by eps and walks up/down by sqrt(eps). Wiener process is basically a limit of that for eps going down to zero.

For my father: a priest accidentally swapping the date of birth and date of christening, the town records burning down, and a clerk misunderstanding what mistake occurred when copying from the church records.

@mcc You have that problem if you wake up on time, too (expired sleep will remain expired forever). Hacky solution: reset it to some time in far future.

But your setup with Either need not require creating and destroying the future all the time: you can make an `Either<&Sleep, SomethingElse>` (well, remake it each iteration).

@azonenberg

IMO a better approach would be to require an affirmative specification that a path is local. Cutting out some specific parts of a cartesian product of features because users find them unintuitive makes for more complicated scripting.

@grimalkina

By individualistic drivers of performance you mean the assumption that performance of a team is a function of the sum of "performances" of members? (I would guess something like this, but my very literal reading leaves me confused whether this has something to do with some kinds of intrinsic motivation.)

@_thegeoff Ah, I see -- you didn't mean that there's an expected "round" value but that there's a expected order of magnitude.

@_thegeoff where do the expected values come from (that they are 1eFOO out from)?

So you have to dedicate a thread to that library and do your own message passing to actually makes calls to it, right?

@mcc I wonder how they handle "any pronouns".

Gemeinschaftszentren in Zürich the city have music practice rooms that can be rented at some reasonable rate. I haven't used them, but a friend of mine had violin lessons in one. Maybe something similar exists in Winterthur?

@ShaulaEvans

I thought that CO detectors are, assuming you have a smoke detector, useful only if you have some sort of burner or furnace in the house (which can start combusting incompletely due to e.g. blocked exhaust flow). Are there other situations when they are likely to trigger?

@8petros

Czyli zakładasz, że powietrze z zewnątrz przejdzie przez filtr dokładnie raz?

Pytam, bo wydaje mi się to założeniem, które istotnie wpływa na konstrukcję całości. Z pozytywów, umożliwia ono połączenie filtrowania i wentylacji. Z minusów, wymaga używania filtrów które dadzą rozsądną jakość powietrza po pojedynczym przefiltrowaniu i nie filtruje (ale rozcieńcza) zanieczyszczenia wyprodukowane w mieszkaniu (-> gotowanie, zakaźnie chorzy ludzie).

Możliwe alternatywne podejście to filtrowanie powietrza z mieszkania wypuszczając przefiltrowane też do mieszkania i zajmowanie się wentylacją ~osobno. Wady tego podejścia to chyba większe trudności w spodowowaniu, żeby powietrze w całym mieszkaniu było filtrowane. Za to można używać wtedy znacznie gorszych filtrów (bo można mieć przepływ przez filtr(y) znacznie większy niż przpływ wymiany powietrza, więc ~każda jednostka powietrza w mieszkaniu przejdzie przez filtr kilka razy).

@robey

Huh, did the names ever switch? I remember adduser always being the interactive one (that has a better understanding of GECOS' format), and useradd being the one amenable to scripting.
