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.

* Original PR with vague wording and blog post link: https://t.co/5fpHvtiLan

* 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.

THREAD: 15 of the most useful razors and rules I've found.

Rules of thumb that simplify decisions.

Bezos' Razors:

• If unsure what action to take, let your 80-year-old self make it.

• If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

Skinner's Law:

• If procrastinating on an item, you only have 2 options:

1. Make the pain of not doing it greater than the pain of doing it.

2. Make the pleasure of doing it greater than the pleasure of not doing it.

Luck Razor:

• If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix.

In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

Bragging Razor:

• If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim.

• If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim.

The map is not the terrain.

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.
#Krishnaleela
#Bhakthi
🕉
We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna. This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.


There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack 👇


and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1


The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..👇


To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)


Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…


So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.


But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

I'm gonna do my other star wars thread tomorrow, which will primarily be me yelling at a @RowanKaiser-shaped strawman for calling the First Order and The Resistance "cosplayers who the rest of the galaxy has to deal with"

the deal w/the New Republic, the First Order, and the Resistance is very weird and complex and I actually take issue with how Story Group frames the actual conflict.

pre-TFA stuff is presented as a "cold war" between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire that form the First Order, which 100% makes sense.

But they frame the First Order's attack on the Hosnian system and the subsequent battle that takes place across TFA and TLJ as a full on war when it's very clearly a coup. A war implies at least equal standing, but the First Order completely wrecks shop and takes over the galaxy.

ok never mind I'm fucking doing this now.

The First Order fleet we see in TLJ is *not* the entire fleet of the First Order (I don't even think Starkiller Base was their main base of operations honestly, it couldn't have been considering they were operating out of Wild Space)
