My rules of thumb for picking conference talks
The yearly on-campus technical conference has just wrapped up for anotheryear, so it seems a good time to write down my rules of thumb forpicking what conference talks to go to, in the hopes that I'll rememberthem for next year. (This year, I only remembered them about halfwaythrough.)
