Friday Hacks #158: Homo ex Machina and Project Intern
Tomorrow’s Friday Hacks is a big one.
Homo ex Machina: In Singapore for a few days: join Sergei Markoff, the creator of the SmarThink chess engine, for his talk on neural interfaces, neural models & possibilities of uploading consciousness on a flash drive in our time. We’ll cover the brief history of neuromorphic machines, learn of the existing invasive and non-invasive interfaces, brainstorm around neuroplasticity and dive into the recent progress in bionic prosthetics & creating animal-cyborgs.
Project Intern: You’ve probably read about tech internships and all their various perks. Heck, you’ve probably even seen a movie about it. Now’s the time to live it. Our coreteam members Li Kai and Varun will address all the questions you’ve ever had about internships and help you on your way to getting one. Afterwards, ask questions of other students who have interned locally and overseas at various companies. These companies include Google, Facebook, Twitter, Asana, Apple, Affirm, Jump Trading, and Jane Street as well as local companies like Carousell, Garena and Grab!

Friday Hacks #159: PayPal on The Reactive Mindset, and Carousell on automation to increase efficiency
This week, PayPal and Carousell will be coming down to talk about reacting to change and automation, topics which are relevant to any software engineer’s life.
PayPal's talk will focus on the reactive manifesto and various technologies available which provide a reactive approach to programming. Above all, it focuses on the change in mindset required to adopt the reactive way of doing things.
Carousell will be sharing how they make use of a tool for data visualization and reporting to automate dashboard building in an Experimentation Reporting Framework. Such frameworks are used by Carousell’s product teams, who carry out A/B experiments and decide if a feature/change has positive impact to the marketplace.
All are welcome to attend. As always, pizza starts at 6.30pm 🙂 Special thanks to PayPal, who’s sponsoring the pizzas this week!

Hi there folks!
We hope you've enjoyed our Hackerschool workshops so far. Moving forward, we will increase the intensity of our workshops, and to give a better learning experience to participants, we will restrict our classes to at most 20 committed participants.
The React and Redux workshop, held on Saturday, 6 October 2018, will be the last workshop of the semester that is open to public. The remaining workshops will be by selection only.
Our plan is to delve into supplementary topics, culminating with a chance to understand and contribute to the codebase of NUSMods, one of the most popular web applications used in NUS. Participants will also get a chance to work more closely with experienced mentors to write production-quality code, and general software engineering principles such as development lifecycles.
With this application form, you are also required to submit a simple assignment to make sure that you have understood the basics correctly. The assignment requires you to create a simple to-do list app; more information can be found in https://bit.ly/hs2018assignment. If you have any questions regarding the assignment, or if you need any hints/pointers, you can always email us at coreteam@nushackers.org.
This application form will close at Wednesday, 17 October 2018 23:59.

Talk #1: Methods and Process in Building Experiential Features with Autodesk
Description
We discuss methods and processes in building experiential features using a Feedback loop based Continual Deployment Strategy. We will touch on how Autodesk has Scalable models and interesting solutions based on feedback, continuous deployment and hackathons.
Speaker profile
Nagendra Bangalore is Director of Subscriber Platform Group at Autodesk Singapore Research & Development (ASRD). Member of ASRD Site Council, Nagendra leads the Digital Platform and Engineering Group. Prior to Autodesk, Nagendra was Director of Engineering at Adobe, Creative Cloud Engineering; and VP Engineering at Aurigo Software. Nagendra is an alum of Yale’s Global Executive Leadership Program, Class of 2017.
Talk #2: Encoding Images in Source 1 with Minimal Tokens
Description
We discuss how to encode and decode arbitrary colour images in a sublanguage of JavaScript called Source, used in CS1101S, the introductory programming module that all SoC CS freshmen take. Source 1 is a very limited subset of JavaScript, used as a teaching aid to avoid overwhelming those new to programming. It contains only pure functions and primitive operations; even the string methods are unavailable. In CS1101S, there is a competition where students write code that generates an image, using some provided helper functions. The score of each entry is determined by the number of votes, but there is a penalty based on the number of tokens in the code.
Speaker profile
Uriel is a year 1 computer science student who took CS1101S in the previous semester. He is interested in algorithms and also does some hardware projects in his free time.
Friday Hacks will be taking place at AS6 LT15, so please head over to RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/2039468676351572/. Please RSVP so that we can give enough pizza for everybody!

Friday Hacks #167
Join us for a short session before the lunar new year! We may go for drinks after.
Talk #1: Introduction to Modern Programming Languages
Description
What's your favourite language? Java? C++? Python? Did you know that these languages have existed for at least 20 years by now? Have you heard of Rust, Scala, Swift, TypeScript, and others? In this talk, we will walk through reasons why you might want to start developing in a more modern language. We will discuss features available in those languages that make programming much easier.
Speaker
Herbert is a year 4 computer science student and a NUS Hackers coreteam member.
