https://atomic-spectra.net/ shows emission spectra of various atoms _with intensities_ and with pictures acquired experimentally.

@mcc it's iirc the only voting system that's an exception in the Arrow's theorem

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?
