Those look awesome, thanks for posting them. Quick question, how do you learn about all these papers? They all seem very recent.

I'm working on join algorithms at the moment, so I spent the last few months getting up to speed on the latest research.

The rest is just from general interest. I spend around ten hours a week reading papers or textbooks. Whenever I find something really mind blowing I follow up citations, set up google scholar alerts for the authors, subscribe to their rss feed etc.

A lot of my favourite papers are linked on the OP site - it looks like a good place to start.
