@mysdick @Sierra_OffLine @tamigraph @tunghui @SIGCIS @morgangames @coletteperold @BabintsevaK Yeah, someone should really send out a reminder to the presenters or something . . . oh wait. 🙃

@Dave_Parisi Okay, but I'm going to need at least one article that turns out to be cake.

@danbouk That depiction of counting as something hungry for categories has always been one of my favorites, so evocative and succinct. A legend, RIP.
