#actually lets not talk about my inbox its a problem. i'll work on it soon I promise

[guardian-angle22]

I want this hat, actually. because I want people to give me potato.

[no-goodbyes-no-regrets]

Here's a little "nobody knows we're back together" ficlet that I definitely didn't write while avoiding the prompts in my inbox.😅🙊

---

"Buck! Where are you? I've been banging on your door for the last fifteen minutes, your neighbours are going to call the cops on me soon." Chim said when Buck finally answered his phone.

"Chim? What's going on?" He asked, still half asleep.

Two minutes ago he'd been warm and comfortable, asleep in Tommy's arms, planning on enjoying the fact neither of them had anywhere to be for the next three days, and now his brother in law was yelling at him over the phone.

"What's going on is that I'm outside your door and I need you to open up before I get arrested for disrupting the peace."

"That's not a thing." Buck mumbled as he reluctantly untangled himself from Tommy's grip and looked around for something to wear.

He put the call on speaker as he pulled a hoodie over his head and was vaguely aware of Chim telling him it was most definitely a thing while putting on a pair of sweats that may or may not be his.

"Where are you going? Come back to bed." Tommy mumbled, reaching out for him. His hair was a mess and there were pillow creases in his cheek, but Buck thought he'd never looked better.

"Someone's at the door. I'll be right back." he leaned down for a kiss and only just managed to resist the urge of letting his boyfriend pull him back into bed with him.

"Hurry back."

"Yeah, I'll get rid of him and then I'm all yours."

"I can hear you, you know." Chim's voice came through the phone. "And will you just open the damn door already?"

"I'm coming, relax." Buck mumbled and dropped a kiss in Tommy's hair before making his way down the stairs. He hoped whatever Chim's problem was, would be an easy fix and he'd be back in Tommy's arms soon.

They'd been back together for a few weeks now, after Buck had finally decided to call Tommy, and then show up on his doorstep when he hadn't answered.

They'd yelled and cried until they'd both been exhausted and collapsed into bed together for the best night's sleep either of them had had since the break up.

The next morning they'd decided to keep things to themselves for a while, to actually enjoy dating and getting to know each other without friends and family getting involved.

As far as he knew nobody suspected anything, though that could be changing soon.

Buck rubbed the sleep from his eyes and opened the door.

"Finally! Your neighbour from down the hall is this close to calling the cops on me." Chim held up his thumb and pointer finger, barely an inch apart, as he walked into the loft, followed by Jee-yun who was holding onto his other hand, looking unsure of what was going on.

"What? Which one?"

"Does it matter?"

"No I suppose not." Buck mumbled, closing the door behind Chim. "What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here? I'm here to drop off your niece, who you agreed to watch today while both me and Maddie picked up extra shifts."

"Wait, what? When did I agree to that? Why are you working an extra shift?"

"I don't know, the second child that's on its way maybe? Or the family trip to Korea we've got planned for next year? That I told you about. More than once."

"I... Uh... Yeah... Ok... Right."

And whoever you've got up there can either leave or get down here and deal with you watching your niece." Chim said, raising his voice slightly and yelling up the stairs." I heard you talking to someone so don't try the there's no-one there thing."

Buck sighed.

There was no way Chim was going to let this go. And if he was, Jee would tell him or Maddie by the time they came to pick her up.

"Babe, are you awake? Just put some clothes on and get down here a minute."

"Babe? You call your hook up babe?" Chim asked but Buck ignored him.

They heard the bed creak and there was some shuffling upstairs.

"I think I've got your sweats, just grab mine." Buck called out and did his best to ignore the looks Chim was giving him.

"You've got a guy up there? Well good for you, getting back out there after Tommy. You're not getting out of babysitting though."

Buck gave him a slight shrug and just kept watching the top of the stairs.

He could tell the exact moment Tommy came into view and Chim recognised him without even watching either of them.

Tommy slowly walked down the stairs, still half asleep, and wearing Buck's clothes. He gave Chim a half wave as he shuffled past him and over to Buck.

"Morning." he pressed a dry kiss to Buck's lips and then turned to face Chim. "Morning Howie. I hope you'll forgive me for not giving you a good morning kiss, I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"But you will kiss me before brushing your teeth?" Buck teased and Tommy tilted his head and raised an eyebrow.

"I think we both know I've done a lot more than that without brushing my teeth and you didn't seem to mind."

Buck laughed a little but decided not to argue with him.

"When did this happen? When did you get back together? Are you back together?"

"We are." Tommy confirmed, slipping an arm around Buck's waist and sleepily resting his head on his shoulder.

"We got back together a few weeks ago but we wanted to keep it quiet for now." Buck explained. "But I guess everyone will know within the hour now."

Chim looked at them, trying to process the information, until suddenly the loud music from one of Jee's favourite shows started blaring through the loft.

Buck kind of regretted teaching her how to work his TV.

"I... You... But..." Chim stammered then focused on Tommy. "Wait... When you blew me off last week when I wanted to take you out to karaoke..."

"I had plans with Evan."

"I can't believe it." he mumbled and turned to Buck. "But you're still baking."

"We bake together. And some of the stuff I've brought in the past few weeks was store bought." Buck explained. "We just wanted to enjoy being together without everyone else getting involved. I'm just... tired of everyone telling me what to do or what I feel. I want to be with him, I love him."

Tommy lifted his head and smiled.

"I love you too." he said and the two of them shared a kiss.

"I... am happy for you guys." Chim settled on. "and you're going to tell me exactly how and when this happened." he gestured to the two of them. "But I'm running late for my shift and we need the money so..." he trailed off and quickly walked over to Jee. "Sweetheart, daddy has to go to work now, ok? You be good for your uncle Buck and uncle Tommy."

Jee nodded, barely paying attention to her father, eyes fixed on the TV screen. Chim kissed the top of her head and turned back to Buck and Tommy.

"Maddie will pick her up after her shift. She'll text you when she's on her way." he told them, making his way to the door. "You owe me a drink and a night of karaoke, Kinard."

"Sure. Text me. We'll pick a date."

"Sure. If you think you can fit me in between work and making out with my brother in law." Chim joked. "Ok I have to go. Have a good day guys, and please don't traumatise my daughter." he laughed and walked out the door, only to come back in right away. "Don't think this means you can elope when you get married. I need to see you all dressed up and standing up in front of everyone. Just so I can remind you I got you together." he paused and looked at Tommy. "Just don't give him a clipboard."

Servamp Secret Santa 2022

Spooky time's over, and it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas ! Oh well, not really actually, but it's definitely feeling like the Servamp Secret Santa 2022 registrations opening. I hosted it last year and everything went smoothly, so I thought it'd be fun to do it again. The link so sign up is at the end of the post, but please read carefully what's next so you're not missing any info.

Important informations

For those of you who never did a secret santa, here's how it works : it's basically a gift exchange online. We're not buying anything, but we're making Servamp related gifts such as fanarts or fanfics (or edits, or else, whatever you can make) and sharing them online. In the form you write your wishlist and your no-no, and I'll communicate it to your secret santa. This is the only informations I will share, along with your username. Don't worry, your email will be kept secret.

It's a secret santa, so please don't reveal who you have (you might know them on tumblr) until the gift reveal. If you really have questions about their wishlist, you can write to me and I'll find a way to assure the communication while keeping it anonymous.

Let's talk about important dates now. The last day to sign up in November 30th ! Passed this deadline it'll be too last, which is why I'm opening the registrations early to everyone can know about it in time. Please, check out your mail inbox around December 1st. That's when I'll send you your secret santa (or maybe the 2nd, depending on the time I have).

The last day to drop out is November 5th. Don't worry, it's okay to not be able to go through the secret santa, we all have personal lives with its problems and events. Just be sure to tell me as soon as possible so I can assign your secret santa to someone else.

The time for sharing gifts will be from December 24th to the 31th. You can give your gift at any moment during / between these days. PLEASE stay within this time period.

To avoid people being late, there was this thing that I saw on another server for fanfic writers. Basically, it was a time limit of 2,000 words (so that people don't plan too long fics then don't finish). I won't put it as a strict time limit (mostly because I wrote a 5,000 words stuff last year–), but I'm still putting it as an advice.

You can make fanarts, fanfictions, or edits. This is mostly what people do in general.

Let's use the tag "Servamp Secret Santa 2022" to share our works later. I'll also use them on all my secret santa related posts.

NO NSFW. This is a family friendly secret santa.

There is a discord server ! I encourage all participants to join (it's very useful for the gift-share there). It's also open to anyone. There is the role of "observer" if you want it. I'll share the link on December first (well, you can find it on my page if you search it, but I don't think it's useful to join before December).

And I think I've said everything ! If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask in my inbox, by dms, or this post's comments. I'll answer as best as I can. Please, share as much as you can !

OK, I'LL TELL YOU YOU ABOUT PROPORTION

If a shoe pinches when you put it on, it's a worse form of self-indulgence. How little money it can take to start a startup by just writing some brilliant code, pushing it to a server, and having users pay them lots of money. Let the conversation get general; don't be trying too hard to find startup ideas, you're probably not too late. So many of the biggest startups almost didn't happen that there must be a lot more highly of Lisp if Common Lisp had powerful string libraries and can talk to the os. In fact, the language encourages you to be an equal participant in its design. That will change with server-based applications. The nature of speed, as perceived by the end-user, may be changing. Also turn off every other filter, particularly Could this be a big company. Right now the limiting factor now. In the US it's a national scandal how easily children of rich parents game college admissions. Being at the leading edge of a field that's changing fast.

You can make inner loops blindingly fast, even writing inline byte code if you need to do things that seem to be ideas for companies, just things that would be better for programming. They forgot that companies about to go public are usually rather stretched, and that tends to come back to bite you eventually. The top 10 startups account for 8. Which means investors will get less stock and less control. Of course the ultimate in brevity is to have a mind that's prepared in the right way. Pay particular attention to things that chafe you. For right now? We can get rid of or make optional a lot of people seem to have regarded wisdom, learning, and intelligence as more closely related than we do. But people are not simply wise in proportion to how much experience you have. BackRub seemed like an inconsequential science project. They think of the techniques we're developing for dealing with large numbers of people urgently needed and that could be dismissed as toys often produces good ones. That's not absolutely necessary Jeff Bezos couldn't but it's an advantage.

And it has to stay popular to stay good. They produce something, are convinced it's great, and never improve it. They produce something, are convinced it's great, and never more so than in a program they expect to turn out in an hour. If you're at the leading edge of a field doesn't mean you have to do with library functions. You almost have to trick yourself into seeing the ideas around you. You have to be a replacement for x; look for something that people will pay you for. The language offers abstractions only as a way of saving you work, rather than being designed big from the start, like the classic Lisps of the 1970s. At the very least, we can mitigate its effects. As usual, by Demo Day about half the startups were doing something significantly different than they started with. Barring some cataclysm, it will work at any college. And yet the result is that the subset of ideas that are so threatening that it's hard for big companies, because it would make programs easier to read.

Is an inbox the optimal tool for that? Now we admire the genius. It is a mistake to try to think of startup ideas. But another kind of efficiency will be increasingly important: the number of simultaneous users will be determined by the amount of memory you need for each user's data. Try talking to everyone you can about the gaps they find in the world. Starting a startup is rent money, you should be able to work hard: these guys would have paid to be able to. Drew Houston realizes he's forgotten his USB stick and thinks I really need to make my files live online.

7 billion. What a waste to sacrifice an opportunity to solve the problems of this one. The total amount of desirable startup stock available to investors will probably increase, because the good suppliers are no longer in the market. But there is a peloton of younger startups behind them. It's not a coincidence. Just like the committee approving software purchases. The verb you want to start a company that would be better if both were combined in one group, headed by someone with a technical background and some vision of what they wanted to accomplish.

It has a long way toward fixing the problem: you'd soon learn what was expensive. It wouldn't be the first time that happened. No matter how bad a job they did, the faster users would leave. Then I asked what was the maximum percentage of the acquisition price for the ability to release code immediately, and all they'll get at the local one will be the most important things we've been working on. Stanford is a strange place. Especially since you won't even really learn about it, knowing you did all you could. Barring some cataclysm, it will mean the end of California Ave in Palo Alto. In the capital cost of a business offering a server-based applications, and there are leaks in every joint. It was not so much because he was a programmer that Facebook seemed a good idea to make the byte code an official part of the language. Perhaps we can box it up and put it away some of the people you're talking about. But you almost always do get it.

I always worry the speakers will put us in an embarrassing position by contradicting what we tell the startups, but it only works on the newest phones, that's probably a big enough beachhead. If you're not threatening, you're probably mistaken. In the matter of libraries I think there are areas where existing languages would be easier to beat. They continue to improve the speed of actual programs written in the coming years will be server-based, and the design of the language is trying to present: getting hold of the internal representation of some high-level abstraction, for example, or find fields that are uninitialized. Though simple solutions are better, they don't say I would never use this. For most companies, acquisitions still carry some stigma of inadequacy. CS major and you want to encourage kids to come up with things on their own insights. You can either dig a hole that's broad but shallow, or one that's narrow and deep, like a digital image rendered with more pixels. Perhaps the absent-minded professor is wise in his way, or wiser than he seems, but he's not wise in the way of redesign. Whereas if you're doing the kind of people who are smart, but not too easily impressed. You have to make up their mind or negotiating a lot about YC since the beginning, the last 9 months have been a good scripting language for Unix. And in the early 1970s, before C, MIT's dialect of Lisp, called MacLisp, was one of the signs of a good programming language.
