ccanonne, Huge congratulations to Avi Wigderson on his Turing Award, for his foundational work on understanding the role of 🎲 randomness in algorithms and computing! Saying it's well-deserved would be an understatement.

Avi is an inspiration, a role model, who left an incredibly deep mark in theoretical computer science – not only for his research, which shaped the field, but for his ideas of what the field should strive to be.
