Re:Diem – A rebrand of Facebook’s Libra on Monday December 07, 2020 @03:46AM (#25330425)
nobody will fund a technology like Libra, owned by Facebook, in fact they already failed before

the main point is that Bitcoin is decentralized, there are many nodes in China, Iran, etc. that is why it has so much value

Re:Diem – A rebrand of Facebook’s Libra on Monday December 07, 2020 @03:44AM (#25330412)
the main feature it is not de-regulation but de-centralization, anyone could run a Bitcoin node and unless you own 51% of the network you cannot control it

Facebook is trying to create yet another world bank

MathJax is more complete than KaTeX and it is supported on GitHub Pages, see also https://g14n.info/2014/09/math-on-github-pages/
I created and use this tiny helper: http://g14n.info/aws-lambda-res/

I think it is far enough for my needs, it is nice to use no framework other than the one provided by AWS.

Thank you for the feedback, I restored the online example here: http://g14n.info/flow-view/examples/basic/

I am also working on an engine that is able to run javascript code: https://github.com/fibo/dflow

Currently I am working on a rewrite and I will use flow-view to create custom nodes, for example nodes that have a canvas or a graph inside (images a SinOsc node with a graphic preview). The engine is able to order nodes by level and run them usinng the graph order, it is not an event based engine but every graph compiles a JS function.

I am developing a generic data flow programming tool, it is only view and the model or engine can be added on top of it.

If you want to use it I am more then happy to help: https://github.com/fibo/flow-view

Re:What Is Idempotence? on Friday April 05, 2019 @11:10AM (#19583299)
Actually idempotent comes from algebra, in particular from ring theory. An ideal is idempotent if its generator, say it a, multiplied by itself n times, equals the ring identity.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotent_(ring_theory)

The definition of idempotent used in IT, assumes that n=2.

Another concept stolen from Mathematics and misused in IT is Topology.
