So very sad to hear of the passing of Peter Neumann. He was an epic pioneer in computer science, but also such a wonderfully cheerful, supportive person at any hour. This was an example of a typical email exchange with him to grab coffee, in an age before AI. If I didn't rhyme with Peter, he wouldn't write my tenure letter, so I got straight down to rhyming! RIP after a life wonderfully lived https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/obituaries/peter-g-neumann-dead.html
