Isn't this website just a frontend for OpenStreetMap data? This returns 120,914 results.

I built a site to browse which songs include samples of others. It's common in hip hop, electronic, pop, etc to reuse drum breaks, melodies, or vocal snippets of other tracks. SampleBrainz includes 220,000+ of these connections.
All metadata is in the public domain (CC0), and anyone can contribute by adding sample relationships on MusicBrainz.

I want to specify heat, cool, or auto. I don't want to cool in the winter under any circumstances. I can simply open a window. Vise versa for the summer.

Cool! Some random requests to consider: Could the range x~y be uniform instead of 2 std dev normal (95.4%ile)? Sometimes the range of quantities is known. 95%ile is probably fine as a default though.
Also, could a symbolic JS package be used instead of Monte-Carlo? This would improve speed and precision, especially for many variables (high dimensions).
Could the result be shown in a line plot instead of ASCII bar chart?

As a workaround you can type a trailing slash: example.internal/

The cafeteria manager likely had no idea they were running out of forks. A simple email or phone call to the cafeteria department would have probably solved the problem, since managers are likely looking for ideas of things to buy, especially if they've been recommended by customers (students).

The reason is surprising but perfectly valid once you remember the spec of map() and parseInt(). Love JS WTFs.

I'm willing to pay extra to avoid touch screens in my cars, washing machines, door locks, and personal computers. I can't be the only one!
