I am perplexed and saddened that at a time when eco-friendly traveling is more important than ever and Germany is governed by red, green and yellow parties, German trains (@DB_Bahn) have become an embarrassment. I think ministers need to stop flying domestically.
Martin embodied the idea of “going to the moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard.” A natural scientist: curious, persistent and just the right amount of whacky. A great loss for data management research.

Triggered by a question: if you have published in SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE or EDBT, you are a DB person. PLDI, POPL, ASPLOS, CC or CGO make you a compiler person. If you are either and looking for a postdoc position, apply! (SOSP/OSDI-crowd welcome too): imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descript…

Why I like C++? Simple, everyday metaprogramming! Today I was integrating libgit2 (C-API in hourglass-fashion). How to “Avoid Boilerplate by Ad-hoc Wrapping C-APIs in C++ Function Templates”: craft.do/s/ZVtSl7QsS4eTE5

Did you just graduate in databases or compilers and would like to look into the other? I am looking to hire a postdoc in that space at @ICComputing in London (fully funded for two years). Formal ad is coming soon but feel free to dm or email me if interested.
