So, there have been some things going on with .NET Hot Reload you may have heard of this week. It's an important issue. Others had it covered so I thought I'd hang back, but I've seen calls for more voices, so here's mine. 🧵 1/

 Some background: Microsoft merged a PR that removed Hot Reload from the .NET 6 despite it working, an unusual move, and said it was due to prioritization for Visual Studio. There has been lots of backlash, snark, and attempts to reinstate it as a result. 2/
First up: Lots of amazing people work at MS who care about OSS and the community. Folks I continue to look up to. MS contains multitudes, and I think we'd all do well to keep that in mind. I'm rooting for them. 3/
On to the opinion section-- This decision is troubling for a bunch of reasons: 1) The surprise factor 2) The transparent business interest driving it while pretending otherwise 3) the communication around it 4) The implication of those business moves for the larger community. 4/
1) Surprises: this code was working, in an RC release, and people were starting to use it. It had been touted as a great feature of .NET 6. Then it was just gone, "de-prioritized". But de-prioritized doesn't mean it has to be removed. Patterns exist for flagging it, etc. 5/
My initial reaction was "well, MS has to support it, so it's only fair that they get to prioritize or not what they take on". I sympathized with MS. But then I realized it was essentially feature complete and usable, and things seemed fishier from there. 6/
2) Business interest: then the Verge piece came out saying that an MS CVP is essentially clawing this stuff back from OSS and wants to make it a proprietary feature of Visual Studio for business reasons. Oof. That's really not OK. 7/
MS should be all about making profit. But I wanted to believe they'd learned a lesson about making profit at the expense of community and "bigger tent" strategy. This flies in the face that. Terrible business decision. Squanders goodwill. /8
3) Communication: Initially I thought this was poor communication about readiness. I was going to suggest longer explanations in PRs, a call for the community to help, an open discussion on the roadmap sooner. But since the Verge article, I'm realizing it wasn't about that. 9/
This truly does seem to be the "old" Microsoft rearing its head again, and trying to sneak it in under the radar with vague corporate speak around priorities. That's very disheartening. And it does make me mad. 10/
4) Implications: The reason it makes me mad is that I truly feel that, warts and all, we're working toward a better place in .NET OSS. And the MS turnaround has been such a big part of that. For a CVP to endanger that is just bananas reckless. 11/
With one move, this decision gravely undermines the idea that .NET works in the open, that it builds for community first, that it wants to be a player in an overall ecosystem vs "just get yours" mentality for its product teams. It is actually a big deal. 12/
So, how can MS fix this? 1) Revert that PR if it's being held back for any reason other than quality and/or completeness. 2) Re-affirm that this was a mistake, both of leadership vision and of communication. 3) Work toward a unified approach to OSS and ensure CVPs respect it. 13/
Since MS hasn't fixed it yet, it sounds like the community is going to. Forks are beginning to take place of these tools. This is probably the appropriate thing to happen. If the community wants the tooling and MS won't look out for it in this case, 14/
Then "we'll do it ourselves" is the correct response. Looking forward to seeing how I might jump in there.

MS: This is not a good look. Do better. Listen to your OSS veterans. They have your best interests at heart. 15/
OSS is more than just tech. It is also a social contract and a community you agree to participate in alongside your most ardent fans and adopters. Don't take that for granted. There are many inside who know that already. Elevate them. (fin) 16/16.
17/16: I stink at tweet threads and forgot links because of course I did.

* The Verge article: https://t.co/wHkGETk2PI

* Great blog by @dustinmoris on the topic: https://t.co/gZBknsbRnX
18/16: Lastly, I'll say that I think folks are trying to work on this internally. I see you and I love you for it. Corporate culture change is so difficult. You have my utmost respect.

Shocking fact: Millennial men are less likely to work than any other age and gender demographic in America.

Today, there are 500,000 young men missing from the U.S. workforce.

Research suggests video games & improved leisure tech plays a role in the problem. 👇 Thread:

Following the 2007 to 2009 recession, 25 to 34 year old men exited high school with fewer middle-skill job opportunities than years prior.

During this time, we saw an increased number of men living with parents & choosing unemployment over lower paying jobs.

It's estimated that 24M millennials live w/ their parents.

1 in 4 living in their parents’ home neither go to school nor work.

What's more surprising? 9 in 10 who lived with their parents a year ago are still living there w/ no plans to leave.

Economists are calling millennial men a lost generation.

According to economist David Dorn:

“If you get to the point where you’re turning 30, you’ve never held a real job and you don’t have a college education, then it is very hard to recover at that point.”

Economists suggest this choosiness is a generational trait.

Forbes interview w/ a high school educated man:

"I’m very quick to get frustrated when people refuse to pay me what I’m worth."
“People feel that they have choice nowadays, and they

Trump is a Russian asset, a mob money launderer installed by his mob whoremasters to sow chaos and weaken the US & our allies.

EVERY SINGLE THING HE’S DONE since taking office is to achieve those purposes—that and to enrich himself personally.

[THREAD]


1/ His entire family is part of this. Melania is a fucking crook. Ivanka is a fucking crook. Junior and Gums are fucking crooks. They will all die in prison, except for Kushner, who, if he really *did* trade US intel for money, should be executed for espionage.

2/ Why do you think Trump installs uniquely corrupt & awful people to Cabinet positions? Pruitt, Zinke, Betsy, Rex/Pompeo, Wilbur "Melting Nazi Face" Ross. They are not there to serve us. They are not there to drain the swamp. They are there to BURN THE REPUBLIC DOWN.

3/ Trump steals. He takes taxpayer money—your money and mine—and lines his pockets with it. He exploits his office to make himself richer. This is all he cares about. Why are Republican citizens, you “fiscal conservatives,” not more angry about this? Riddle me THAT, #MAGA.

4/ Matt Whitaker, the human dildo and “acting AG,” was illegally installed to throw a monkey wrench in the Mueller investigation. That’s why they won’t release his financials. He’s fucking bought and sold. He’s going to prison for obstruction.

Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?


Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir

BAU’s official Twitter account


BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS

TILAK:AN AGE OLD PRACTICE OF HINDUS

The beautiful Matribhumi of Bharat is the land of many religions &cultures but its Hinduism with which the world identifies this great Nation. Hinduism is the religion with science at its heart &its also a religion of many rituals &traditions.


Today we will talk about a very prominent and noticeable Mark on the foreheads of #Hindus called 'Tilak'. Tilaks are of different designs and colors. It symbolizes different meanings for different people such as religious expression, spiritual symbol, marital status etc.


Tilak is a very alluring design that is made in between the eyebrows. Vermilion, Chandan, Turmeric, Kumkum, Rice and Rice water, Vibhuti etc can all be used as Tilaks.
Why this particular spot is used for Tilak? Bcoz, it is mentioned as 'Ajna Chakra' in terms of yoga.


This chakra is the sixth & most important chakra of the human body. It's the junction where the highest number of neurons meet & is described as most important and sensitive spot in the human body.Different #Hindu traditions use different shapes and ingredients to make the Tilak.


SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

Various Hindu Scriptures mention the importance of Tilak in Sanatan Dharma. It is believed that energy, strength and divinity comes to those who apply Tilak. It is also regarded as a welcoming expression and to honour the guests when they arrive.

What Happened To Bhakt Prahlad after Hiranyakashipu Vadh
#Thread
Prahlada became the mighty king of the Asuras after Shri Narsimha killed Hiranyakashipu. Prahlada was even more powerful than his father, Hiranyakashipu ever was. He enjoyed the love and respect of his subjects.


By virtue of his good behaviour, Prahlada conquered the three worlds easily and Indra ran away from the Heavens. Indra then deceived Prahlada into giving him the power of his behaviour and Prahlada lost control of the three worlds.


Asuras grew angry at the Devas for taking advantage of their King's virtuous behaviour and invaded the heavens. The Devas, afraid of the Asuras, enlisted the help of human Kings such as Yayati, Raji and Kakutstha and defeated them.

Prahlada attacked the gods and defeated Indra in battle, forcing the King of the Gods to run for his life. Indra sought help of Lord Vishnu. Infused with his power, Indra defeated Prahlada. The latter understood that Vishnu was helping Indra in battle and he withdrew his forces.


Prahlada first gave his kingdom to Andhaka, but the latter was defeated by Shiva. So Prahlada gave it to his son Virochana and undertook a Tirtha Yatra.
