Attention CMU Database Group alumni: We finally removed the infamous stained futon from the 9th floor lab. The health inspector made us get rid of it. I know that many of you were fond of the futon but it had to go.
Thanks to Wan Shen Lim (@[email protected]) with helping me move it. We forgot to wear safety gloves.

DuckDB was recently covered in Andy Pavlo (@[email protected])'s Advanced Database Systems course at CMU. The lecture covers DuckDB's history, internals, and integration with other systems.
