End of semester update! Have finished my first ever semester of engineering :) It started off tricky but I've made some friends (YAY) and I have hopefully hopefully passed my exams (I won't find out for a bit).

Photos: cute cafe that I have been to a couple times, pretty sky from yesterday, NGV (for an art excursion since my elective was an art class), and finally, the bridge I had to build for one of my classes. Yes, it held the weight (barely) so that was very exciting.

I've decided that uni is very different to school but not necessarily bad so that's a win, and I love the independence!

👩‍💻 romanticizing my job as a software engineer of 4 years 🤓

around 3 years into my current job, i started getting cold emails and messages from recruiters, which i thought was very funny because of how difficult it used to be back when i was actually job hunting. today, i received another such email, which made me feel very grateful for how far i've come and motivated to work hard today ☺️

🥟 breakfast

🤝 team update meeting with a side of healthy gossip 😝

☎️ support call that took too long to do too little 🙄

🖥️ mentor our lovely intern 🥰

🍊 lunch

🚀 deploy code!!

💻 coding focus time!!

💬 i swear half my job at this point is just messaging people to align on things i've heard it's the true testament of tenure 😂

🥩 dinner

💌: lately, my goal at work has been to improve my focus. in the past, i've been spreading myself very thinly across multiple projects, but now, even though i'm being brought into multiple things, i'm only letting myself work on one at a time 😌

I found myself surrounded by companions daring to tackle a real software architecture challenge. We shared a good wine and cheese to conquer it together! (Unfortunately, there’s always something waiting to be dealt with on Monday.)

The glow of my Neovim terminal in Monokai theme reflects my rhythm — a guy who doesn’t stop on weekends but knows that balance isn’t about being all-in, all day.

The setup screams character: a seamless fusion of productivity and comfort. Lazygit commands at my fingertips, a Ghibli-esque avatar paired with Neofetch adding a touch of Tumblr aesthetic, and a playlist of Korean indie OSTs playing in the background to add depth to every keystroke.

This is how I drive — in code, creativity, and moments that are unapologetically mine.

13.07.2024—quick pit stop at the ballet. how pretty is Adelaide? 🥰😍

[jumwa-the-cryptid]

Eeeeee!!! I went to Adelaide during my summer break :O I agree Adelaide is very pretty 😊

[jumwa-the-cryptid]

Hallo~

I got into motorsport very recently 👀 Specifically World Endurance Racing. I watched the Imola race live, which meant I stayed up till 3am oop, but it's fine cause this week is the mid-sem break 😅 The F1 Saudi GP started at 3am, and I'm CERTAIN there's someone out there who stayed up to watch both races. I remember last year I noticed F1 trending on tumblr, which I think is the first time it really entered my radar besides hearing it in passing and seeing instagram stories of it from a friend's friend :O Then Max Verstappen memes started popping up on my instagram feed THEN RICKSF1ADDICTION started popping up on my youtube feed. I think a Le Man reel came up on my ig feed and it was the mechanics singing during the night and the commentators being tired, I believe it was this one, which is what got me hooked onto WEC. At some point I watched a video about Porsche and now I'm a Porsche Penske Motorsport glazer 😎 I should start watching IMSA and Formula E 🤔

Anyways, I realised that writing sideways in my little notebook makes it easier for my hand so that it's not on top of the spiral binding eek Random fact: I love studying @ campus during the mid-sem break since there's barely any people. Unfortunately I left my pencil case at home and I went to buy a pen in what was meant to be a quick 10 minute venture to almost 30 mins 😔 As I was walking towards campus center I could hear an alarm. It was a fire alarm and the building was evacuated :( but it was a false alarm so everyone was okay :) And now I own a very juicy uniball signo pen, which is the black writing in the pic! All the writing is for my computer architecture unit, and it's my favourite unit this sem 🥰

has been a while but I’ve started uni! it’s very different to school - not really how I expected BHT it’s going okay. heaps and heaps of assessments at the moment, so am currently finishing my drawing folio, then I have physics & programming prework and then some maths practice to do today 💀

also celebrated 1 year anniversary with my gf yesterday :)

have not been studying, obviously as it’s summer and post-y12, but I have photos so here we go!

1- pretty desk, 2- these very very cute dogs my friend and I saw at a market, and 3- pretty sky photo yay!! uni class assignments start in 2 days so am excited to try to cram classes into as few days as possible! am dreading foundation maths (specialist bridging) because what if i DIE but is okay!

I also went for a walk today with a friend not realising it was 38 degrees so that was. not a good move. but we live we learn i suppose.

I forgot I had this! lots of time has passed but i decided to start this up pre-uni!

have finished year 12!! did significantly better than expected and I’ll be studying engineering next year which is very exciting.

will try to remember tumblr exists more often because it really is very cute

[jumwa-the-cryptid]

eeeeeee!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! Any engineering specializations you have your eye on? 👀 :O

Happy Valentines Day!

Here are some programming valentines day cards!

Couldn't find any good ones online, so made my own heh, enjoy and send it to someone who likes corny jokes and/or programming!!

[desmos-calculator]

y'know, one of the goofiest things I've learnt from the desmos community is that { } with nothing inside equals 1

but that's not just it, you can also add { }s

and it functions just the same as adding 2 1s

but therein lies the funniest part, that you can perform almost any function on it, from minus

to exponents

to even factorials!

and lists too!!!

you can even compare solutions of { }s in { }s

there's almost no restrictions, if you can do it with numbers, you can do it with { }

and this leads me to what I've seen a lot of people calling "desmosfuck" after the infamous programming language brainfuck, and it restricts you by not allowing any letters and no numbers, that includes sin, log, x, y and all the others. The only thing you can make out of { }s are points and numbers though, but thankfully that's usually enough to make a bunch of stuff.

like, if you need π, just use (-0.5)!^2

you need e? you already have π and i, just use e^(iπ)=-1 and rearrange it to e=-1^(1/(iπ)) and get -1^((π^-1)(i^-1))

want phi? sure, just use it's surd representation of (1+sqrt(5))/2

okay, but what if you really wanna do functions? well, if you're desperate, you can sorta do that, you just gotta use a concentration of points.

cos(x) and sin(x)? use the identities

cos seems easier

and x just has to be a dense list of numbers

now that we have x, let us... REWRITE!

that's dense... buuuut, it does the job as soon as we add the x part to the x coordinate!

absolute insanity

you can also get sin by subtracting x by half of pi

awesome

here's tan, btw

go play around with it yourself! it's very silly
