So much yaml

Yes, they are insane. Also very cruel.

It’s so good

The thing is, they know this. They don’t care; they are only wanting to be cruel and get rich.

Layoffs across MSFT. DevDiv was hit hard this time round.

A sad week for MSFT folks, especially DevDiv. I’m sorry this is happening. Stay in good spirits and talk with people close to you.

What's a better name, 'float3' or 'vec3'?

Well, today was a day.

Well, image generation is definitely improving. I can’t believe it got the “Xamarin” on the shirt perfectly right.

Fucking horrible is what it was.

Look at dates while you are at it.

Heya, I just released https://github.com/xoofx/AsmArm64 🎉

The most powerful and complete ARM64 Assembler and Disassembler API library for .NET (ok, it is missing SVE/SVE2 but will do that later 😅)

The assembler API is particularly unique with a strongly typed API that can encode […]

Last year, JIT team used Capstone to help them decode and verify SVE :)

Everyone is going to love it so much... 😞

GitHub - TIHan/Evergreen: Just a fun side-project using the Oly language to build a game engine Just a fun side-project using the Oly language to build a game engine - TIHan/Evergreen

I've now open-sourced my side-side-project of building a game engine with Oly.
github.com/TIHan/Evergr...
No docs, just code unfortunately - I still need to write docs for Oly...

Can’t make this up

Tricky because structs in .NET will always satisfy the "new()" constraint, even if it doesn't have a default constructor.
I had to make Oly follow this logic using the anonymous shape. Not particularly happy about it.

Spent too much time yesterday tackling a single Oly feature.

In C# .NET, you can use "new()" as a constraint for a type parameter.
Ex: "void M<T>() where T : new()"

In Oly, I am translating C#'s "new()" to Oly's anonymous shape feature.
Ex: "M<T>(): () where T: { new() }"

Just got the bad news that my client is cutting budgets and all contracts are not being renewed, so I'll be available to start work in the New Year

I'm a Senior Contract .NET C#/F# Engineer with 15 years experience, comfortable working across AWS and Azure. RT's appreciated!

Very cool. I tested bindless a few months ago and showed similar results.

Oly now has analyzer support! Needed an analyzer to validate specific rules for SPIR-V.

Rockstar is so cool

The thing I find most inspiring is the community around it.

Coming back from Canada one time, a U.S. border officer asked me, “Do you love yourself?” He wasn’t happy I was only in Canada for a day.

Making a Snake game in F# This blog post has been sitting in my drafts for over a year. I finally found someone to take a look at it and annoy me to post it. Thank…

I was hesitant to post this because I think all the things I do are bad... but I wrote a blog post on how to Make a Snake game in F# 🐍 probably a cool read if you're a software developer and you've thought about using F# before but haven't yet.
