Folks on database internals discord are voting for the next book. It’s a perfect time to join. This will be the third book we will be reading together, after Transaction Processing, and DDIA. discord.gg/GmchY45BbS

Thank you for all the pointers! My current list of papers looks something like this (attached).

Among other things, I am trying to understand whether multiple queues, or a single queue with priorities can be a better approach (also, whether one is reducible to the other).

It's never too late to organize your huge pile of papers.

Found 549 papers, only 156 of which had highlights or notes. However about 350 were pre-processed/marked. I kept better notes.

Anyone got ideas about how to attach notes to PDFs?
