Sure. Not too complex. Thread ->
.NET is a family.
* Core runs on containers, many Linuxes, Windows and Mac. OSS, moves fast.
* Framework powers Windows itself, desktop apps. Moves slow. Conservative.
* Mono powers iPhone, Android, clean Portable C code.
.NET Standard is a versioned API spec like Android’s API levels. So if I write a library that is “.NET Standard 2” I know it can run anywhere. Cloud, watch, phone, Raspberry Pi. Anywhere.
Your comment here is dismissive of a lot of work. There’s no “just” and it’s not “pointless.”
Suddenly millions and millions of C#, F#, and VB developers who learned on desktop Windows can write container apps, phone apps, web apps, watch apps, arm32 apps, freaking Wii and Switch apps. Unity is .NET. We have ML for .NET. A massive OSS door has opened.
Something like 70-80% of libraries and apps are Standard compliant. I personally have taken two 12-15 year old apps and moved them to Linux in a weekend. Web apps to containers, etc.

A number of people asked me what projects, what code, what open source I did over the long holiday. ZERO. I did squat. I played video games, in fact. A bunch of them. I felt a little guilty then I got over it. hanselman.com/blog/TheFunOfF…
I'm not a big gamer but I like a good story. I do single player with a plot. I consider a well-written video game to be up there with a good book or a great movie. I like a narrative and a beginning and end. Since it was the holidays, it did require some thought to play games.
When you're in a mixed relationship (a geek/techie and a non-techie) you need to be respectful of your partner's expectations. The idea of burning 4-6 hours playing games likely doesn't match up with your partner's idea of a good time. That's where communication comes in.

Every year we do "Standards of Business" Training at work. Usually it's vignettes and a quiz, but the last few years it's been, like, PRODUCED. I mean, actors, plot-lines, backstabbing, and I👏🏼AM👏🏼GRIPPED. They've turned our ethics training into a telenovella. SO GOOD.
This guy is learning what happens when you're sloppy with security permissions. HE IS SO SAD.
I SWEAR IT STARTED LIKE AN EPISODE OF SVU. *PREVIOUSLY ON STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT*. bump bump!

A brief thread for my developer friends who have 10-15-20 years in the game. Maybe you're a dev who's been keeping up and fresh on the latest since jump, or maybe you've been using the same reliable framework for your whole career.
It can be totally overwhelming when you "wake up" and look around and notice that you don't know NOUN.js or ASPNET 10 or the like. You feel like it's over, and you've missed the boat. I want to encourage you. You're a developer! You have a good base to build on!
You may not know today's JavaScript/Java/C# but you DO know JavaScript/Java/C#. Yes, the Internet moved your cheese while you were sleeping, but you DID grow. When talking to employers, emphasize the base of knowledge you bring. Frameworks come and go. Fundamentals remain.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

MY HISTORY: THE DANGERS AND CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ASKING.

#Thread
My whole life, I was told I asked too many questions. My mum would encourage me to ask but teachers and neighbours would consistently shut me up when she wasn’t there. So, I toned it down and simply HOPED that what I thought things were, were what they really are.

Examples:
1. If I had asked my former boss to explain to me why I wasn’t getting my pension statements and Tax reports, I would have known sooner from his response that he lacked integrity and empathy.

Instead, I HOPED he would see how hard I worked and not cheat me that way. I goofed!

Tragically what the #CorruptGOP doesn't seem to get is that because they are not dealing in facts, & they are propagating falsehoods to their base, an entire generation of Republican voters, workers, apparachik's at every level; the U.S.A. loses ultimately. There are
People basing real decisions, at real jobs- both public & private sector-on false information. We have the most powerful military, biggest Economy, in the most industrialized nation in the world making Domestic & Foreign Policy based on fasle information.
This can & will end only one of two ways. Either we reverse course before catastrophic consequence or we experience what could be the most catastrophic multi-national event that has occurred since WW2 & the most grave consequences since our Nation's inception nearly 300 yrs ago.

On vous dira sûrement que c’est la faute au réchauffement climatique.
Mais sur place, les naturalistes ont une autre explication. Mini #Thread
Celle ci nous a été fournie par un guide de visite d’un parc national, un diplômé de géologie retraité. Un type passionant, soit dit en passant.
Fin 19e début 20e, les gestionnaires du Colorado (et d’autres fleuves), principalement l’armée US naissante, ont voulu lutter contre l’érosion des berges. Non, ce n’est pas une contrepèterie.

This is a story about toxic friendships, and leaving those who do not help us grow. #Thread
In the past few weeks, I've had so many conversations about this topic. I just want to highlight toxic 'support member' culture.
One of my friends was complaining about their circle of friends, how one of them was a liar and a cheat, but noone was speaking up about it.
