Pulitzer, surely.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

I did anothr version of my "Saga of Mulicore OCaml" talk, but this time, nerve-wrackingly, the authors of the original paper were all there!
Here's the link to the talk, which is found towards the end of the recording for the whole session.

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

“The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.”
