@freemo Cheers!

Quite interesting. 2022 report of **Reuters Institute** about the relative #audience of #media #outlets in 🇪🇸 #Spain:

https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/digital-news-report/2022/spain

Also, **Political Watch** applies the **Ad Fontes Media** methodology to the Spanish landscape and comes up with this report about #bias:

Vocational training / higher ed. I don't know what's the right translation into English, but it's a kind of technical training sitting in between high school and proper university degrees.

I'm doing it part-time, just a few hours of dedication a week. So far, so good. The experience is interesting to me, and I like teaching. But I don't see it as a feasible full-time career path for me, in part because of the (relatively low) salary.

Two small kids,
two jobs,
and thirty-six students.

So cute 😊

The old #Twitter look & feel takes me back!

(The other day I realised that there are adults today that were born well after Google was popular and widely used 😵)

What a beautiful house!

How is it not obvious?

Does it matter much?

Happy #InternationalMensDay everybody!

I was sceptical so I looked it up to double-check. It's even worse.

Add:

* Women Judges (10 Mar)
* Girls in ICT (28 Apr)
* Women in Diplomacy (24 Jun)

So: 12 observances for women and girls, zero for men and boys.

I'm more sympathetic to that argument.

And still:

1. There's no hard-coded limit; it's completely screen-width-dependent. Zoom out and see longer lines. Or reduce your font size, or use a larger monitor.
1. Switch from “split” to “unified” view. eg, from [this](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/25699/files?diff=split) to [this](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/25699/files?diff=unified). (Although “unified view” is less usable, yes.)
1. Click “hide file tree” (even less usable).

> _GitHub: Maybe it's around a 100 columns_

Nope. [This](https://github.com/tripu/superscript/blob/master/server.js#L55) is > 140 chars long, and doesn't truncate or wrap.

> _I once or twice did code reviews on the phone before boarding a plane. There are apps for GitHub and GitLab. People use them._

C'mon… You said it: “once or twice”. I feel your pain. 99% of people shouldn't compromise 99% of the time because of those rare use cases. People try all kinds of crazy devices and clients.

> _I want my screen to see the code and the browser side by side_

Personal preference/need. I sometimes want to see the console underneath — for that, fewer longer lines preferred. (And again: [local solutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_wrap_and_word_wrap) are easy.)

> _“If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you’re screwed anyway, and should fix your program”_

That's wrong (breaking news: Linus has been known to be wrong before):

1. _“Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters.”_ That's half of the problem, right there. 8 chars? No wonder they want < 4 levels. 4 levels × 8 chars = 32 chars = 40% of your very conservative line length budget!
1. A class → a method → an `if` = 3 levels. No room for a loop, for a literal object with properties, for chained calls split into different lines for legibility? I seriously doubt Torvalds himself follows that rule.
1. I looked for popular projects on GH with files with more than 3 levels of indentation to prove my point. There aren't many: it's ALL of them.

With PoW, past a certain point in the growth of the network, it's prohibitive for most bad actors to spend enough money in hardware and energy to become > 50% of the network and thus gain control.

With PoS, it's exactly the same, just replace “spend enough money in hardware and energy” with “buy enough tokens”.

In any case, if someone/something has the means and the determination to grow past half of the whole network, they will control the consensus and therefore the money.

both PoW and PoS are vulnerable to concentration of power — but both are less vulnerable than centralised systems, eg central banks or credit card companies.

@admitsWrongIfProven

Not sure I get your question.

If you're asking what advantages #crypto provides, I'd recommend from a number of good sources.

One example:

@admitsWrongIfProven

With the shift to #ProofOfStake, energy consumption is no longer an issue in #crypto. #Ethereum is almost there, and future blockchains won't waste energy like #Bitcoin does.

Very cool! Thank you.

I knew very little about #Pleroma (and nothing about #Akkoma).

(Still, I find “nested” or “indented” views only a bit better than “flat” ones — what I'd really love to find is a tree-like visualisation, with nodes [posts] and edges connecting them.)
