Folks, Just a reminder that I'm not in town for our P2 Monday meeting. I'll be seeing the VLDB folks at 11am on Tuesday though at Soda (Joe's office?) Petros ...
I've been thinking about how to reduce the attribute list in predicates. This lead me to think about how python overrides arguments in method calls. We could...
Yes, something like this would be good. But it's just one of many kinds of sugar we need to contemplate, and I think we should plan for a larger-scale...
Folks, I'm still a bit under the weather and won't venture the trip up to Soda for the meeting today. If there's a phone I can call into, I'll be happy to....
Folks, Many of the regression tests are currently failing with the error: ##COMPILE ERROR: program commandLine, node localhost:10000, error code 0: pel::gen:...
Hmm, with all the rush I don't blame you :-) Any idea what's causing this? Also, will you be in IRB at any point? I'm finding some connections between delta...
Unfortunately a project review landed on my calendar at the same time. Sorry about that. I won't be there. For subsequent meetings, I'd love to put the future...
I can't make it to Soda, but I can call in if the meeting is on. -david On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 7:20 AM, Maniatis, Petros ... -- David Chu Ph.D. Candidate EECS...

Ahhh, I (we) need to set aside some time and do a reading group... Jason, thanks for making the connection to magic templates, that's a nice one. WRT to...
Hi Rusty, Thanks for taking a stab at this. We've all been talking about doing this, but nobody has cracked the eggs before. I find nice and clean the idea of...
... Actually, I didn't think about including an interface that lets imperative programs register new rules directly (I guess you could insert tuples into the...

That makes sense. The only thing I'm skeptical about is whether we'd be able to build a "distributed datalog" on top of just local datalog and an imperative...
We're due to discuss the rewriting of the underbelly of Evita Raced in other languages, and implications on the short- and long-term fate of the current P2...
