ok maybe the rest of the fediverse isn't ready for my bad karaoke loops videos so I deleted it, but don't worry loops fam, we don't judge on loops!

I don't care what you think, my voice is beautiful!!!

Evolution of how I think of #loops while #coding:

  1. When I first learned "loops":

while (condition is true) {do these things, adjust things so a slightly new condition is checked}

// That's where I first saw infinite loop and how there are intentional infinite loops.

  1. A small step to move condition update out of the loop body:

for (i=0; i< N; i++) {do these things}

// After the couple of days it took to get used to them, I found them neater and closer to how I think of things.

  1. Most of the time, the i from before is indexing into something, so let's directly deal with the item being indexed:

for item in collection:
do stuff

After the few days to rewire syntax muscle memory, going back would decidedly feel like a step back.

I don't want to give up automatic (and transparent) out-of-bound checks.

  1. There are actually only about 3/4 things one does inside a loop:

map/fold/scan/filter function-to-call collection-to-traverse-through

;; Getting rid of explicit indexing was just step one.
-- After a few days/months/years, I now realize that it is more important and less buggy if I think only of the function to call (and whether I want to end up with a new (maybe pruned) collection, a single thing, or "both" (that's how I think of scans))


Alternatively, my evolution as I learned new #programming languages idioms:
#KandR -->
#cpp or #java -->
#python -->
#lisp or #haskell --> ???

Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using

We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!

Are you ready for ?

✨ Iconic Onboarding

With Loops, you will be able to take advantage of your Mastodon (or Pixelfed) account to find friends based on accounts you're already following!

Discovery is crucial, and we're making it even easier ⚡️

I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all

I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to

Hope you understand!

Loop video urls will be super short!

ex: loops.video/v/5jM_jMRGuYbLc

Notice no username? That's because we plan to support username changes ✨

https://loops.video is a very promising ActivityPub platform for short form video, and could use your financial support to help fund and sustain this initiative!

Donations can be made via @pixelfed

I would absolutely love to get my hands on the new @loops Android or iOS app by @dansup to start using it and testing it.

As many of you know, I do beta testing all day everyday since I work for a large Android app and most all of the software I use is beta of some form.

It would make for a great experience to dive in early and see what it's all about and report feedback as much as possible to help make it the best app out there today!

Loops is special in so many ways, being open source is the most important one.

I've published the skeleton and will update it with runnable code in the next few days.

Loops is open source, with the exception of the algorithm training data and user data

Each instance will be able to train and maintain their own 'For You' algorithm
