Today I Learned

Hello friends how are you all # any updates phaver TGE date ?

just saw the word "majoritarian" for the first time

dataviz

TIL the term sankey, a /dataviz technique for showing flow, movement or change from one state to another.  I've always loved seeing earnings reports visualized this way but never knew the term for it. 

Not a coincidence my favorite class in college was a CE course about fluid mechanics and how I later became obsessed with DevOps and Lean.

TIL 🤯

This will be available to everyone in the next hour.

TIL that Mexican citizens are legally required to have two last names - one from each parent. 

If one is to become a Mexican citizen but does not possess two last names, their second last name will be X.

today I learned you can push cmd+control+space in any text box to open up the emoji selector.

New experiment on Warpcast

Narrowcasts

- Limit your casts to channel followers
- Cast in niche / esoteric channels without “annoying” your audience
- You can toggle between everyone and channel followers only
- The composer will remember if you previously narrowcasted in a channel

TIL there are over 11k channels on farcaster 

skew in follower distribution is very evident. there is a long tail of ~8k channels with very few followers and handful of channels that are super popular

as diversity of content increases in the network, hopefully distribution on the head improves

Farcaster now supports 3x longer casts!

Long casts can have up to 1024 simple characters. The first few lines will show up in the feed and you can tap Show More to read the rest.   

Warpcast supports creating long casts on mobile and on web. You may need to restart your mobile app to get the latest changes.  

A big thanks to @vrypan @df @sanjay @gt @piril @sds and many others who contributed to getting this over the finish line!

Today I learned part I:

Geologists discovered a submerged continent called Zealandia, / 'te riu-a-māui' seven years ago. In 2024, they fully outlined the topography & New Zealand is the largest part of Zealandia that's above sea level.

TIL about ERC 5189

Wondering what the catch is. If everything below is true, why did the community rally around 4337 rather than this?
