CompSoc Newsletter Week 3!
by Declan Osborne 07 May '24

07 May '24

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Trinity Term Week 3 Newsletter Post Office Talk and Saturday Social! Welcome Back, Old Friend, The time just keeps rolling on by... welcome to Third Week! As your loyal envoy, it is my privilege to tell you about the two fun events we have planned for you this week. First, some quick amendments to the termcard; the Jazz Night and Junkyard Golf events planned for this week will unfortunately not be able to go ahead. But let's pretend that didn't happen and move swiftly on to what we have planned instead... Tomorrow, we have an exciting talk brought to you by two former CompSoc members! David North and Stephen White from CoreFiling will be appearing to give a talk on what the IT industry can learn from the now infamous scandal surrounding the Post Office's Horizon IT system. On Saturday, we're back down in the UGSA once more for our Saturday Problem Sheet and Panic social! Come along and enjoy plenty of free CompSoc-funded snacks... and, of course, your weekly hit of pizza. Details, as always, are below. - Declan, CompSoc Secretary Fun Computing Fact: When the iPod debuted in 2001, it changed the way we listen to music forever. When the iPhone showed up on the scene in 2007, it happened again for our phone calls. But did you know how close we came to neither of these products existing? In the mid-90s, Apple faced dire financial issues while searching desperately for a successor to the aging Mac OS 7. Numerous contenders were named - including Windows NT! Be Inc's BeOS was a strong option, but it wasn't to Be™. Instead, Apple decided to rehire the previouly fired Steve Jobs by acquiring his NeXT company, which developed the NeXTSTEP operating system - NeXTSTEP became Mac OS X and Steve Jobs launched the iMac, revitalising the company and allowing it to make the iPod. The rest is history! Still not a member? How?! Membership only costs £1 for LIFE, with tons of benefits - discounts on merch and tickets, free food at all socials, our exclusive Discord server and more - so it's definitely worth signing up!

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Trinity Term Week 2 Newsletter Drinks Night, MathsSoc Social and More! Salutations, Valued Customer, Whew! It's Second Week already? How the time flies... anyway, we're back again with some new events through the week, along with the announcement of a talk for next week! After the return of our Competitive Programming Mashup Contest earlier today, we have a fun drinks event planned for Thursday! We'll be down at the Oxo Bar with a huge drinks tab! If you're interested in a spot of socialising while drinking as your heart desires on our budget, read the details down below! On Saturday, it'll be time to break with CompSci tradition and venture out in daylight hours for our social with the Oxford University Mathematics Society! We'll be hanging out at Taylors for a relaxed afternoon social. Finally, we can announce a new talk with former CompSoc members! David North and Stephen White from CoreFiling will be dropping by to give a talk on what the IT industry can learn from the widely publicised scandal surrounding the Post Office's Horizon IT system next week. Check out the details below! - Declan, CompSoc Secretary Fun Computing Fact: If you've ever watched Jurassic Park, you may remember that one dramatic scene towards the end<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOeY07qKU9c> where the girl exclaims 'it's a Unix system!' and instantly understands how to navigate through the weird 3D representation of the park's files. Funnily enough, that outlandish Hollywood-esque 3D file viewer is real - it's called fsn, and was written for Silicon Graphics' IRIX operating system (which, yes, was a Unix system). You can even run it today! A port to Linux and other modern Unix-like systems called fsv (File System Visualiser) is available to install online, so now you too can slowly zoom through your files like you're under raptor attack in 1993.

Clinicians sometimes make decisions on the basis of other information, such as length or angle measurements. Angles are conventionally determined by points, and detecting key points, also known as landmarks, turns out to be an interesting problem. Squeamishness warning: beware of xrays of human bones.
