This poor chap, @BharadwajSpeaks stayed up all night to craft abuse & bluster. For all his fury and performance anxiety, he has not countered a single refutation I had made.
Mediocrity sells and lies sell even better, but you can’t fool all the people, all the time!

Taqiyya: The art of lying and deception to promote a violent cult.
— Bharadwaj (@BharadwajSpeaks) February 21, 2021
In this thread, I will show you how this fraudulent @yusufpore lies through his teeth and deceives readers for his cultic promotion and fraudulently distorts the image of Shivaji Maharaj https://t.co/W9NlFvmoli
That Shivaji’s civil service numbered a mere 200 officers is a bad joke. It ignores the extent and structure of Maratha administration and the inter-operable roles of it’s officers.
Read this!

But shifting goalposts is a giveaway. The next tweet demolishes this claim however!

Hilal was in fact serving Shivaji until his death in 1674, fighting Adil Shahi forces at Nesari.
I merely quoted that Hindutva icon, “Guruji” Golwalkar as cited in @the_hindu, and do so again. The source is Golwalkars own book!
That source is no less than Golwalkar; Hindutva’s founder, from his own book.
It seems this was enough to rile up the imbeciles!
Read up and learn.
And this tallies with the historiographical view that Shivaji used all the means at his disposal to wage both diplomacy and war.
Religious bias was not an end in his world-view.
Once more, I appeal to all genuinely interested parties to never be intimidated by two-a-penny pamphleteers.
Always inform yourself and do learning a service.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.
Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.
6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices
https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x
PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.
735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.
The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
