Twitter abuses all media file uploads, each type in its own way. If we want to upload a good looking animation loop from some low-color, high-detail generative art, we have to game their system's mechanisms.

• don't upload a video file, they will re-encode it into absolute 💩

• create a GIF, which they will auto-convert into a video file 😱

• The frames of the GIF will be resized to an even-sized width using an extremely naive algorithm. Your GIF should be an even size (1000, 2000,

A composable pattern for pure state machines with effects

State machines are everywhere in interactive systems, but they're rarely defined clearly and explicitly. Given some big blob of code including implicit state machines, which transitions are possible and under what conditions? What effects take place on what transitions?

There are existing design patterns for state machines, but all the patterns I've seen complect side effects with the structure of the state machine itself. Instances of these patterns are difficult to test without mocking, and they end up with more dependencies. Worse, the classic patterns compose poorly: hierarchical state machines are typically not straightforward extensions. The functional programming world has solutions, but they don't transpose neatly enough to be broadly usable in mainstream languages.

Here I present a composable pattern for pure state machiness with effects,
