#innefficient code

[pendragon1996]

Pardon the tiny image. But something about humanity fascinates us. This is a height map that we are loading (wildly inefficiently, but ahh, the data set isn’t downloading so we’re querying an api), centred around 0°N 0°E.

That’s the centre of this image.

There is a mountain peak on the bottom of the ocean there. The technical centre of human gps reference, and there happens to be a mountain? Chosen years before we could detect that?

Gold, humanity. Keep it up.

Someday. I am going to stage a coup of tumblr and rework their search abilities after learning code singuarly so that i can properly search your blog. Is the favorite food post on the masterpost? Is the ask from dante in either of its tags? Is tumblr throwing a hissy fit at me?????? Im so much more intrigued now and tearing my hair out to find it

Ah Tumblr, the most functioning webbed site.

What I usually do is I go back in my archive, filter by the kind of post I'm looking for (Hunger Games AU post was a text post, these ones are asks,) for asks filter with "the darkness speaks" to filter out any asks that I reblogged from someone else and scroll all the way down to the beginning of the archive and then search upwards. Very innefficient system if I do say so myself.

A bunch of fun Mim kid lore in this post. This one just vaguely hints at Maddy being very desperate for her grandmother's approval

My computer is currently being very slow and I think firefox might crash at any second so I'll post this now, give me, like, thrity minutes to find the ask where I talk about Maddy's fate

ART/original idea

Previous ramble

My inspiration juices aren’t flowing like last night after 12 but i’ll see if i can remember what i had thought lol. [EDIT im 5 or 6 paragraphs into this post and i can say the inspiration juices flowed again]

First of ALL Janus owns like a million turtlenecks and blazers and coats and he always wears some combination on them, with fashion and color coordination always On Point.

(people get worried for him because sometimes it’s sometimes a little too hot for that, but Janus is always cold lol. its a cold city, anyway, so no big deal)

Logan never misses a day to dress up, either, because he always wears his buttoned shirts and (also color coordinated) ties. i don’t have references but you can imagine, white and light blue shirts with indigo tie and black vest, or black shirt and light blue tie, or maybe even add some purple when he’s feeling colorful. he also isn’t afraid to wear an oversized sweater in the colder months.

the students actually admire both of them for their fashion, different but equally nice to look at.

Now teaching styles ♡ ♡ ♡

 Logan is very good at explaining math functions and equations and everything because he is very structured and comes prepared with markers of all sorts of colors that always paint well (he never brings an old, worn out marker to class) and loves explain with arrows, diagrams, pictures, etc. his students eventually memorize his color code because he’s always consistent. some of them think it’s too much but the majority are very grateful.

(kind of like the guys from ASAPScience but without the silly drawings lol) ((these are my own notes lol, i couldn’t find a better example))

Janus on the other hand, is just.. too fond of chalkboards. He doesn’t write down more than a few keywords or important quotes, but his handwritting is unbelievably neat. -both of theirs, except Janus writes in cursive, of couse-. Logan is impressed, because he couldn’t imagine living without colors and diagrams to put his thoughts into writing, and he wouldn’t like the innefficiency of erasing white chalk. Janus doesn’t mind because his lectures are mostly him talking and pointing at the notes he already has written, which he erases until the end of the class. It’s fine, though, because Janus is very good at public speaking, he has you captivated for however long he wants (Logan learns that first-hand).

i like to imagine Logan getting ready to explain something very counterintuitive in his physics class, maybe the relativity of time or the curving of space. he knows his students have seen many sci-fi movies and must have all kind of misconceptions, so he has to be very very clear. Logan goes to Janus when he needs help explaining these more abstract concepts without losing his students’ attention and Janus thinks he is very good at it already, but gives him a few tips nonetheless.

omg now i imagine Janus getting Logan a small blackboard and a box of chalk of different colors for him to carry in his bag, particularly for their conversations, so Logan has an easier time explaining whatever he’s talking about 💕

ANYWAY they have their coffee dates meetings and every single time they begin talking about specific stuff from either of their fields, but eventually they end up in heated philosophical discussions about the place of humans in the universe, the meaning of our existence, how apparently contradicting statements can be true simultaneously, what is the meaning of truth, how everything is defined by our perspective etc. etc. and they have a lot of fun :3

Is there an optimal group size for doing startups that secures people's equity but doesn't make voting too innefficient?I've been in multiple startups and equity and voting distribution has never been a pleasant experience. In a previous startup I saw a owner voted out just because he coded differently. This was a three way startup. I was not involved but I observed it.In a startup that I am in right now I'm facing similar persecution. We have irreconcilable differences. I no longer want to work with one of my two other partners. His response is to vote to take away all my equity even though I've already invested a years worth of work and money into the project. He's also continuing to use all my work in spite of saying it was a "minimal" contribution.My reasons for wanting to leave are that he mismanaged funds and time. He hired his own programmer friend (I voted against) as a non-equity employee. This employee caused the development time to balloon from two months to twelve months. Without my work the startup would be down for at least a couple months. The other three-way owner is a friend of his, so will side with him. However he feels the first owner (who's threatening me) is being harsh. This is my only saving grace, but I'll still lose a lot.The above thing is a side project. My more formal job is also in a startup, but I'm just a 1% equity owner without voting rights. This is a much more corporate environment. And it's a matured stable startup. I believe there are four board members here.It seems to be a threat in any startup is friendship dominating over business. People form pairs and then oust someone when they can over small grievances. So what you need are people whom are strangers but share complementary skill sets. Also more the better, as this will protect against easy hostile take overs in small groups.
