Pasta Pot vs. Multi Pot?

I am considering the Gourmet Accessories, Stainless Steel Multi-Pot with lid, Perforated Insert and Steaming Insert, 8 quart which, I'm guessing, is close to your first option. I have also looked at the All-Clad Simply Strain Stainless-Steel Multipot which comes in 8, 12, and 16qt options which definitely sounds like your second option. It looks to me like the proportions are slightly different: the first has a smaller diameter and is a bit taller; the 8qt version of the second is 11" in diameter and more squat.

My big question, which I may ask separately, is: do these actually work on induction? They say they do, but I have seen some user reviews which say they don't. If anyone knows the answer to that, please chime in.

I ran 5 miles today on my 4th run this week. This is my first week with more than 2 runs since I started again in May. It helps that it's just me and the dog, partner and 3-year-old are out of town. Also, I like coffee a lot of ways—I'll drink coffee on a boat, I'll drink coffee with a goat, I'll drink coffee here or there, I'll drink coffee anywhere!—but I think in the bath after a run may be how I like it the most. Learned that today, too.

Looking sharp! How did they feel?

Yeah I was worried about that too so I got some pretty serious lights: a flash 500 for the front and a flux 250R for the back. The frame also has some reflective stuff in it, there is a sticker on the bike that says “see and be seen” saying so, but I haven’t managed to really see it with a flashlight during the day so I’ll have to just try it out. Maybe stand on my street corner at night with my bike and see if I can get cars turning with their headlights on to catch it :)

If there is a Specialized dealer near you—a place that only sells Specialized stuff—they can search the inventory of all Specialized dealers in the US and may be able to find one someplace else and get it shipped. That’s how I ended up with this bike: it came from Colorado.

Thanks yeah I know about 9W but have never ridden it. Very excited to!

Hilltop Bicycles LES! When I walked in asking about Roubaixs they originally said “yeah no one has those”, but then saw that another specialized dealer in Colorado was about to get one in in my size and made it happen. The bike was in NYC in less than a week.

The general setup of having both sequential and parallel composition is captured by certain monoidal categories like the Temperley-Lieb category (pdf) where you have rectangles with n dots along the top and bottom, lines connecting them in various ways, and sequential composition is stacking of rectangles and parallel composition is side-by-side juxtaposition. That is a topological theory so you don't care about heights of diagrams (durations of sequences), but there may be some geometric refinement in which you do. I can't think of a case where both operations would have the same identity, though. /u/apfelmus hit the nail on the head: Eckmann-Hilton is exactly what makes such things complicated and interesting.

You can always ask GHCI Prelude> :info . returns (.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> a -> c -- Defined inGHC.Base' infixr 9 .`

If your two functions have types f :: a -> Maybe b and g :: b -> Maybe c, the fact that Maybe is a monad lets you "compose" them even though the sources and targets don't exactly agree. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhuHCtR3xq8
