Hoe Brutus te werk ging om de poten onder dictator en keizer van het mismanagement Ceasar weg te zagen. Uit rancune. Leuke lui, die PVVers.

Today arXiv remembers our colleague Joe Halpern, who was instrumental in founding arXiv's CS section.

Joe's passions ranged far & wide and we're lucky that arXiv was one of them. Joe, thank you for giving so much to arXiv - you are missed.

yes, and the sad thing is that this cannot be attributed to AI - the incredible pace of ppl putting out stuff is not helping, but CS has long been notorious for preferring to spend time redoing something already known than to spend time with what other scientists thought and put on paper.

No Strings attached ... to SQL columns

Dear DBMS, it's you who needs Integers. We need Strings.

We spend way too much time optimising schemas because databases treat strings as second-class citizens.

My take on this matter:
