I just programmed them. They're algos.

Okay. That's a fair point.
The people hating on algorithms just want to sell you their preset algorithm.
We're going the opposite direction: build your own algorithm.
Including some selections from nostr:npub1fd0t73r8vn3nqezdg93fyj5x5u79zucf3jaspkc2dy9sjuqx5z8qftjal4
building your own is the holy grail!
i hope we can inspire some people to think a bit more about algorithms. the universe and everything in it is an algorithm. i'm not a simulation hypothesis guy. literally our brains do computation so we can only compute what our senses tell us. everything else is a gift from God or random garbage that is confusing.
also, i'm not saying that sorting algorithms are the most interesting things but my bug for algorithms started with learning the theory of sorting. the bubble sort is really simple and once you know it, you can use it to calculate the ordering of things. this has wide utility.
the bubble sort:
move from one item to the next in a fixed sequence
if the next item is smaller than the previous, swap them around.
repeat until you don't change the order of anything
A lot of people don't know this, but the Captain was one of the first people who worked on GitCitadel.
#funfact
back in my days of scatter brained nostr ideas!
And now they're getting implemented, as we're FINALLY building on #GitRepublic. It was on ice, for nearly a year, while we got #Alexandria going.
Feels good to get back to it. And the year helped us rethink the design, so it's gonna be way cooler than we originally planned. There's not anything like it on Nostr, yet.
LOL let's come up with a SuperAlgorithm for the selection and call it
