Note: not an expert or data scientist this could be an uninformed opinion.

R has multithread support: https://josephcrispell.github.io/2018/08/27/multi-threading-...

Julia's main draw was native really fast code with multi-thread/parallel support.

The other issue is that a parallelized c version of a data science algorithm can be scripted by Python or R pretty easily.

Here is a spec for the `did:key` method: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-key/

Thank you. Skimming this was much more informative.

being free of Government manipulation while desirable also has drawbacks as a corporate owned currency means it would be subject to corporate manipulation. Think Kong Bucks. Basically, corporate currencies mean not only do you shop at the company store, but you use their money too. I think the original premise of a government less people's coin via bitcoin is a better idea as it means the population takes responsibility for their currency.

yes, their whitepaper heavily suggests that access to finance products for the poor is a big motivation behind Libra. However, it does feel a bit like white washing as the majority of the profits from Libra will obviously be the convenience of paying via facebook owned messengers etc.

The poor, even in developed countries, aren’t well served by the incumbents.

Visa and MasterCard are collaborating on the Libra protect.

For those two reasons I don’t know if it makes sense to say Libra is competing with the incumbents.

The problem with Visa and Mastercard in the developing countries I've experienced is the banking system.

In Cambodia, you can only get a credit card from a Cambodian bank if you have a deposit with them that matches your credit limit (i.e. to get a card with a $5K limit, you need to maintain a balance of $5K in your account).

Most people cannot get credit/debit cards because the banks won't issue them, because they don't trust anyone and won't take the risk involved in issuing cards

I can see how Libra will solve a lot of frustrations for Visa/Mastercard working in poorer countries

What risk is there in issuing debit cards? Other than the obvious fraud potential, but that usually doesn’t originate with the card holder.

to be honest, I'm not sure. They issued me one when I asked for it, but I had to ask, it wasn't normal. And often when I use it, I get a Whatsapp call from a nervous bank staff member checking that it was me that used it. Kind of cute really.

Yeah right. Where do you live? Here in Australia Visa / Mastercard debit cards are very common.

This is Cambodia I'm talking about.I don't live there any more, but I still use the bank account I set up when I did

there are a lot of options out there and this thread kind of surprised me was expecting more interesting submissions. you might want to look at the original flux:

from facebook if you app has a lot of global state needs multiple stores can be handy.

Mobx is great too:

With the current project I am working on we actually just vanilla javascript with singeltons with subscriptions (note: I did not write this, but I think it is rxjs).

anyways someone should come along with some answers.

Redux is still the easiest and with Sagas is really cool. One start up I interviewed with was using something similar to hooks, but do not remember the name of it.

Also datomic (used by om.next in clojurescript) has some really clever optimizations and is a joy to use.

did not know this feature existed clicked on it and facebook algorithms has a surpassingly large number of videos tailored to my tastes ended up watching a British musician explain the 2 necked string instrument she plays that is between a ukele and lute. sold.

have the same setup actually although I use kanban zone a site I worked on instead =)

I also use a Kanban board mine however keeps track of completion on books and courses. I suppose a ten year goal would be a good idea along with yearly.
