Retrospectively, the happiest moments of your life aren’t when you have everything you want. It’s when you are striving for a meaningful goal, surrounded by people you love who are doing the same.

So you're going to do a PhD! Yay! Here's my best advice: 1) Don't work nights/weekends unless you have a hard deadline. Work 40hrs, no more. My most cherished grad school experiences were hanging out with my friends. Do not waste your youth providing unpaid labor. Don't do it!!

Are you going to graduate soon / looking for postdoc opportunities? Are you interested in big data algorithms, streaming, clustering, graph algorithms, or other TCS topics? Positions are available in my group at NUS (sites.google.com/view/diptarka/…).

Delighted to announce the establishment of a Quantum Research Park at IISc Bangalore seed funded by the #Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society. This initiative will be a game changer in the Quantum-related research and entrepreneurial ecosystem in the state. IISc Quantum Technology Initiative

A thread on the Integer Programming Problem (IP), based on notes for my class: web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~bennethu/inte…. Highlights of notes: 1. Slightly modified Lenstra's algorithm with improved runtime. 2. Kannan's algorithm, which is faster yet, and not in other lattice notes AFAIK. 1/
