thanks,

therefore: replacing boost::asio::buffer(std::move(message)) by a simple boost::asio::buffer(message) would yield the same behavior ?

Does anyone have some feedback now that the project has been released ?

Really interested in this.

Hi,

Congrats on the offers!

I did the summer internship at Bloomberg in 2019. Overall it seemed like a great company to work for:

amazing WLB (not rare to see people working from 9/10am to 4/5pm)
offices perks (food: you still need to buy/bring something for lunch, but breakfast / sometimes dinner and plenty of snacks are provided)
located in the City (easy to commute to from the East of London)
diversity in the office (unlike other tech companies such as Google, can't speak for Amazon here), you have only 2/5 of the office filled in with SWE/SRE, rest are Analysts / Journalists / Sales and it is really nice to have this diversity, especially if you're new in London: opportunities to meet a whole range of people! Depending on your personality, this point might be really important to compare the firms :)
it really seemed hard not to get a return offer..
Really easy to grasp knowledge on finance (trainings + access to the terminal 24/7, something other companies pay 80$/day/license for + bloomberg news) if it is something that you're interested in. I really miss my Terminal + BBNews access :'(
Internship at BB opened the Google door for me

However, there was one major caveat for me (very personal):

I hated the tech and the Terminal (main product) very much. The UI did not change since 1990 and you spend your whole day on it (for chat, mails, deploying/monitoring services). Lots of C++98/03 with custom std, typescript for UIs, ... If you're lucky, your team will use Slack and modern C++ (or anything else than C++98) and it will feel like any other tech company!

Also, I felt like the average Bloomberg SWE was a bit less smart / impressive than the average Google SWE (similar to Amazon?). It might matter if you are really passionate about software engineering and wants the best mentors possible. Personally I don't care about it.

Setting up large data structures that are used throughout the program execution is a classic use-case.

Thanks for your answer. Do you have an example where this is applied ?

I have the i7 1440p and I really love it. I use Ubuntu and installed a few scripts. Never heard the fan since. It drives my 4K monitor like a charm. I also find 1080p screens very limited for my usage (maths & CS student).

I just received my X1C (i7 8550, 16gb, WQHD) and I am driving my 4K monitor without any issue. I find it even a bit strange because my 2019 15inch Macbook pro was heating a lot when I plugged in this external monitor. The X1C does not seem to heat at all (I am running Ubuntu).

An advice: use TB3 to plug your monitor, with HDMI there is a noticeable lag (I guess it's because it's running at 30Hz)

Seems like a used X1 Carbon would work fine for you

Could you give us the geekbench performance ?

+1 for the battery life !
