<https://www.facebook.com/events/143856889671573/>
*19:00 Wednesday 8th Week - Lecture Theatre A, Department of Computer
Science*
The first half of the evening will be for the TGM, the agenda for which is
attached. The constitutional changes proposed are the adoption of the
Proctor's new standard constitution, code of conduct and complaint
procedure, and clarifications of the CompSoc by-laws. There will be reports
from the President, Secretary and Treasurer. *If you can't come and you're
a member, please contact me with your intention to vote by proxy.*
After (or maybe during), will be copious amounts of cheese and wine. We
will have a fine range of cheese from across Europe, a variety of red wines
and a few exciting new compotes. There will still be pizza, but it will
much less refined.
Geek Night 8: Unofficial
*19:00 Saturday 8th Week - Undergraduate Social Area, Department of
Computer Science*
If you're still in Oxford, a committee member may be in the department to
run a mini, unofficial Geek Night.

Hi everyone,
This week *Facebook* are visiting and telling us how about the *type system* of
their new language Hack, which they have been using to replace their old
PHP codebase. RSVP here.
<https://business.facebook.com/events/129238224371422/> We'll also
have our *Oxmas
Geek Night*, which will be the last one this term.
In week 8, we have the *Michaelmas TGM*. Come for the *cheese and wine* and
stay for the minor constitutional amendments and committee reports.
Elsewhere in Oxford, *Jane Street* are running an *estimathon* for aspiring
data scientists (there will be prizes!) and *Facebook* are hosting a talk
for those interested in *internships* with their product analytics team.
Have a great week!

Facebook tech talk: The Hack programming language: Types for PHP
<https://business.facebook.com/events/129238224371422/>
*19:00 Wednesday 7th Week - Lecture Theatre A, Department of Computer
Science*
Facebook’s main website, ads platform, and much of its internal tooling is
implemented in PHP, a language not known for elegance or best practice in
programming language design. Over the last five years Facebook has embarked
on an ambitious project to migrate its code base to Hack, which takes the
syntax of PHP, removes the worst features, and adds static typing and
modern constructs for asynchronous programming and typed UI components. In
this talk I will focus on Hack’s type system, which combines OCaml-like
type inference, object-oriented generics in the style of C# or Java, and
flow-based typing of local variables.
Andrew Kennedy is a software engineer at Facebook London working on the
Hack team. Before joining Facebook in 2016 he spent 16 years at Microsoft
Research, during which time he helped design and implement the generics
feature for the .NET Common Language Runtime and polymorphic
units-of-measure inference for the F# programming language, in addition to
making many research contributions in type systems, semantics, formal
verification and compilation.

It's a very interactive game and focuses on some ideas that are central to

Hi everyone,
Congratulations on surviving week 5! Why not celebrate at CompSoc?
In week 6, *Google* will be telling us about the *frontiers of the tech
industry*. The *Metaswitch talk has been postponed* to Hilary term. After
that we have our termly *LAN night* on Saturday.
The week after, *Facebook* are visiting and telling us how about the *type
system* of their new language Hack, which they have been using to replace
their old PHP codebase. RSVP here.

about *mobile
networking*.
*CompSoc stash is now a thing!* You have all the t-shirts: Palantir,
Metaswitch, Microsoft, Jane Street, Google, Ensoft, ... But there's a void
in your wardrobe. A void that can only be filled by something Oxford Blue
and saying Oxford University on it. Before today, you'd have to do go mad
and do rowing to get such a thing. No more! CompSoc t-shirts for £5.
CompSoc hoodies for £10. Personalisation for £1.50. Order them now!

<https://business.facebook.com/events/129238224371422/>
*19:00 Wednesday 7th Week - Lecture Theatre A, Department of Computer
Science*
Facebook’s main website, ads platform, and much of its internal tooling is
implemented in PHP, a language not known for elegance or best practice in
programming language design. Over the last five years Facebook has embarked
on an ambitious project to migrate its code base to Hack, which takes the
syntax of PHP, removes the worst features, and adds static typing and
modern constructs for asynchronous programming and typed UI components. In
this talk I will focus on Hack’s type system, which combines OCaml-like
type inference, object-oriented generics in the style of C# or Java, and
flow-based typing of local variables.
Andrew Kennedy is a software engineer at Facebook London working on the
Hack team. Before joining Facebook in 2016 he spent 16 years at Microsoft

itself to life. This talk is an accessible introduction to large-scale
mobile networking today, from both real-world and computer science
perspectives.
