CompSoc Newsletter Week 7!
by Declan Osborne 27 Nov '24

27 Nov '24

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Michaelmas Term Week 7 Newsletter Projects Talk, Termly General Meeting and More! Bienvenue, Battle-Hardened Veteran, Welcome, one and all, to the last newsletter of the term! We're in Week 7 now, and it's time for a dash to the finish line with some final events to tickle your fancy. On Wednesday at 6pm, we're joined in Lecture Theatre B of the Department by Kitty Mayo for a talk on starting companies that promises to be scintillating! On Saturday, we have yet another pair of events – at 5:30pm, we're back in Jesus College one more time for Learn to Code, followed by the Termly General Meeting at 7pm! Come along to the Undergraduate Social Area to have your say on the future of CompSoc, followed by a mini Saturday Social to send off the term. If you'd like to submit a motion to be voted on, make sure to join our Discord server for further information! For Sunday, we close off with one last Competitive Programming bootcamp at 1:30pm. Make sure to come along and get some final practice in before so your skills aren't lost in the cold winter vacation. Finally, the eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted the end-of-term social on our termcard originally scheduled for this week – fear not! The social has been moved to Week 8. Stay tuned for further information... — Declan, your indeterminately trustworthy CompSoc envoy Fun Computing Fact: Apple recently completed the transition of their Mac line from Intel to ARM processors. But, while we may have been used to seeing Windows on a Mac before 2020, did you know that the Intel to ARM transition wasn't Apple's first platform shift, or even their second – it was their third! The Macintosh in 1984 debuted with a processor based on Motorola's legacy 68k architecture. However, this quickly looked aged, and in 1994, Apple began a transition to the PowerPC architecture with the debut of the Power Macintosh. This relied heavily upon a low-level 68k emulator in Mac OS, which even ran core operating system code! After the failure to make a promised 3 GHz Mac, Apple began the transition from PowerPC to Intel in 2006. The work was easier this time – Mac OS X had been compiled for Intel for most of its existence. For software, Apple included the Rosetta dynamic translation software, which could launch seamlessly to run PowerPC apps on Intel Macs. They also introduced Universal binaries, which packed PowerPC and Intel code together in one app, allowing one binary to be used on either platform at full speed. Still not a member? How?!

20 Nov '24

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Michaelmas Term Week 6 Newsletter Computer Vision Talk, Learn to Code and More! Guten Tag, Learned Member, As the term eternally rumbles on, we're back in Week 6 with a new slate of events! Hopefully some of you were lucky enough to sign up for our socials earlier this week at Taylors and the Alchemist – if not, we have more events to come! On Thursday, we'll be in the Department's Lecture Theatre B at 5pmfor a talk on computer vision from Dr. Hansung Kim which promises to be insightful! On Saturday, we have our familiar dynamic duo of events – at 5:30pm, we'll be in Jesus College's E-sports Suite for the fifth session of our Learn to Code series, and at 7pm we'll be in the Undergraduate Social Area as always for our well-known Saturday Social with some much-needed pizza. As we close out the week on Sunday, we'll be back in the UGSA yet again for our sixth Competitive Programming session of the term – come along to get some practice in with friends! Finally, we're now accepting motions from members for our Termly General Meeting in Week 7! If you'll be around next Friday to propose a motion and you want to shape the future of CompSoc, make sure to join our Discord server and post your motion there! — Declan, your dubitably trustworthy CompSoc envoy Fun Computing Fact: You may by now be familiar with Bluesky, a decentralised Twitter replacement which has been rapidly growing since the US election earlier this month. Interestingly, however, distributed social media sites predate both Bluesky and its closest competitor, Mastodon, by several years! Along with sharing characteristics of other distributed networks like email and Usenet, one of the first decentralised social networks was Diaspora – a Facebook competitor created in 2010 by students at New York University's mathematical sciences institute. Much like the Personal Data Servers of Bluesky's AT Protocol and the ActivityPub instances which form Mastodon, the Diaspora network consists of separately maintained federated pods which store user data and content.

On Thursday at 5pm, we'll be in Lecture Theatre B to learn more about the field of computer vision, which spans the processing and analysis of images and 3D representations of the world we inhabit. We'll also get to experience some demos featuring 3D sound – make sure to bring headphones and a device which can scan QR codes!

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Michaelmas Term Week 5 Newsletter Problem Sheet and Panic, Learn to Code and More! Hiya, Trusted Recipient, We're back once more for Week 5! We have a quieter week in store, before a flurry of talks and socials planned for next week. On Saturday at 5:30pm, we'll be back in Jesus College's E-sports Suite for the fourth session in our Learn to Code series, where we'll be covering loops. If Learn to Code drives you loopy, we'll be in the Undergraduate Social Area also on Saturday at 7pm with our Problem Sheet and Panic session. Whether you have work to finish or you just want to grab some pizza, make sure to come along and hang out for a relaxed evening! Finally, we'll be back in the trusty Undergraduate Social Area one more time on Sunday at 1:30pm for our enduring Competitive Programming bootcamp. Come along and practice your skills with friends! — Declan, your ever-untrustworthy CompSoc envoy Fun Computing Fact: Are you familiar with relational databases? If so, you may be interested to hear about Microsoft's attempt to model a computer's file system as a relational database! Windows Future Storage (WinFS for short) allowed programs to query the file system based on a file's metadata and for pieces of data on the volume to be linked by relationships. WinFS was born from the Object File System which was part of Microsoft's ill-fated Cairo project for Windows in the 90s. It later became part of Windows Codename Longhorn, which went through a long and troubled development process from 2001 until its release as Windows Vista in 2006. Despite two beta versions of WinFS for Windows XP releasing in the intervening period, WinFS was axed for the final product, with only small individual components making their way into Vista.

Top-level domains have been the subject of recent media speculation with the planned handover of the British Indian Ocean Territory, which could spell doom for websites making use of its .io TLD. One TLD that did survive past its country, however, is the .su TLD! Originally designated for use within the former Soviet Union, the .su TLD was first allocated in September 1990 – only a year and three months before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It saw very little use for its intended purpose, being used most notably by the USSR's first Internet service provider, demos.su. It was, however, used by the Russian Federation before it received its own .ru TLD, and remains extant to this day! (and is primarily used for cybercrime...) Still not a member? How?!
