Hey everyone,

Next up this term we have Movie Night, so meet us in Discord for some (potentially spooky/Halloween?) movie watching. We also have a tech talk from Citadel this Wednesday via Zoom focusing on their business and the roles available, as well as a Q&A panel! See below for more info. Well done to Jan who emerged victorious in our quiz last week (by a pretty large margin!). We also have some messages about events from Boomberg and Citadel so check them out below.

See you soon,

/- Matthew and the rest of the committee/

*Hashing Uncovered - Bloomberg Tech Talk*

What is it about?

One of our Bloomberg Engineers, Dietmar Kuhl will be uncovering everything Hashing.

Hashing values is an important technique for efficient associative containers. It has multiple independent dimensions of considerations.

None of these considerations are generally well understood. This presentation scratches the surface of the following areas:

* Using hash functions for associative containers. * Hashing byte sequences into hash values and assessing the quality of hash functions. * Extracting byte sequences from values and hashing the resulting byte sequences. * Things to consider for a default hashing function
