Everyone tries to explain monads but very few succeed.
Everyone tries to explain monads but very few succeed. I think this article is by far the most successful attempt I’ve read. I think I might be starting to get it.
Although not exactly the same, Promises and Observables work in a very similar way to monads. This becomes particularly evident when you look at chains of promises (which use a then() operator as “bind”.)
Observables are more like Haskell IO monads because they are lazy by design. None of the operations in an observable chain will run until something subscribes to it. All the functions must be pure but a running chain of Observables can do impure work such as making HTTP requests.
This is a very rosy take on React Native in my opinion.
This is a very rosy take on React Native in my opinion. If you are working on a production application, you’ll soon discover that you are very much on the bleeding edge and that the experience and size of the React Native community is small. For particularly gnarly problems you may be needing to communicate with the Facebook team directly. Good luck with that!
That said, React Native is pretty great. It solves a really hard problem and unleashes huge potential on the mobile platform. Its maturity will only improve with time.
Adopt with caution.

The video was made in late 2016 by Nick Foster, the head of design at X (formerly Google X) and a co-founder of the Near Future Laboratory. The video, shared internally within Google, imagines a future of total data collection, where Google helps nudge users into alignment with their goals, custom-prints personalized devices to collect more data, and even guides the behavior of entire populations to solve global problems like poverty and disease.

A single bitcoin transaction is so energy intensive that it could power the average U.S. household for a month.
A single bitcoin transaction is so energy intensive that it could power the average U.S. household for a month.
A fluctuating bitcoin price, along with increases in computer efficiency, has slowed the cryptocurrency’s energy footprint growth rate to “just” 20 percent per month so far in this year. If that keeps up, bitcoin would consume all the world’s electricity by January 2021.
