Students at Universität Rostock organized an outdoor BBQ with some fun events. Unbeknownst to me, a group of current MSc Demography students picked a surprising name for their team. I hope I can regard it as a positive reflection of my teaching and mentoring. In any case: Thank you!

I guess I need to check this out: statistics.zone 'The Probability and Statistics Cookbook' by Matthias Valentin (no twitter?). Thanks to news.ycombinator.com for linking to it.

Question at news.ycombinator.com Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click? Too many good reading suggestions for me to remember, so I use this tweet as a public bookmark for myself. And maybe others will also find it useful. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=335936…

World Champion! Twice! Not me, not soccer. But for my buddy from high school who is raising pigeons. 🕊 donau-ries-aktuell.de/gesellschaft/v…

Exciting news, at least for all (?) of us using Emacs. Emacs 29 will soon be released with native access to SQLite databases & much more. Give it a try instead of using different programs for #rstats, LaTeX documents, ... blog.phundrak.com/emacs-29-what-… lists.gnu.org/archive/html/e… #Emacs
