Hey everyone, Ahead of our Mini Hackathon starting at 5pm today, a few bits of info that didn't make it into the newsletter. Firstly, it'll be hosted on our Discord server <https://discord.gg/RhvsMSn> instead of Zoom as originally planned. If you don't yet have member status on the discord feel free to DM one of us or leave a message in #welcome and we'll give you access. We'll also be providing pizza (subject to availability) to entrants so you guys can focus on your projects instead of worrying about making dinner. Lastly, to keep things fair team sizes are expected to no more than two entrants. Don't worry about coming to the event with a teammate, you're welcome to form your teams at the event. See you later, - /Matthew and the rest of the committee/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Oxford University Computer Society (CompSoc) aims to organise meetings and events for our members to use and further their computing interests.

Hey everyone, Our next social event this term is Code Golf! Writers of the most concise code possible will come out on top. Note that this event will be taking place via our Discord server <https://discord.gg/RhvsMSn> as it seems to be unanimously preferred by our members. We hope you all enjoyed meeting each other during our Freshers’ Welcome Night! It was great to see all of you, old and new members alike. Our next tech talk this term will be given by Optiver via Zoom. Be sure to check it out if you want to improve your code optimisation! We also have a sponsor message from Optiver, as well as some info on upcoming internship opportunites from the University Careers Service. Check them out below! Also attached is our social term card, so you can check out our upcoming social events and get suitably hyped. See you soon, /- Matthew and the rest of the committee/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Events Code Golf <https://www.facebook.com/events/282949619374731> *19:00, Saturday, Week 1, Discord* We’ll be setting some programming problems, but who can code solutions to the problems with the fewest characters? Prizes will be awarded to the writers of the most concise code! Optiver Tech Talk - Low Latency C++ Workshop <https://www.facebook.com/events/1029162114191929/> *17:00, Wednesday, Week 1, Zoom* Do you want to learn how to write the fastest and best performing code possible? Are you ready to dive into assembly, cache internals and squeeze the last nanosecond out of your code? If so, then join our low-latency workshop on code optimisation! During this workshop one of our engineers will demonstrate some of the profiling and micro-benchmarking techniques used when developing low-latency code. Through concrete code examples, we will share some of the performance tips and tricks attained from our vast experience in writing fast, maintainable and modern C++ code. We will look into assembly generated by the compiler to understand how seemingly small code changes affect the work a processor needs to do. Whether you write games, mobile applications or trading software, these techniques will help you to write faster and more efficient code! Please note this webinar is suited for students with at least some pre-existing C++ knowledge.
