    I only recently learned of this; he was given the award this past
    summer. See https://www.usenix.org/about/awards/flame.

    There is an interview with him here: https://www.usenix.org/publications/loginonline/interview-arnold-robbins

    Pretty neat.

    *hat tip* to Arnold.

    I am glad that good work gets some recognition from the community, but I
