It's a bit interesting that the best option for a shading language with Vulkan is probably HLSL, not GLSL.

I'm sold on building my .NET NativeAOT Vulkan prototype on top of wlroots https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots instead of going raw with DRM/KMS. Any folks that experienced wlroots?

Gonna have to create a binding for this one though, before I can start anything, but that will be hopefully a lot less work than dealing directly with DRM/KMS 😅

Just released https://github.com/XenoAtom/XenoAtom.Interop providing a set of low-level and modern .NET P/Invoke for several C/C++ libraries (musl, libgit2, sqlite, zlib...) 🚀

After SharpDX 15 years ago, this is probably the most advanced interop codegen I have made in the past years. 😎

Early preview! Still no doc, but lots of cool stuffs there!

Just updated my Vulkan bindings https://github.com/XenoAtom/XenoAtom.Interop/tree/main/src/vulkan

I have used the vk.xml registry & parsed the man docs to generate a complete Vulkan API with intellisense! 🚀

I took also the opportunity to add overloads in/out parameters, ReadOnlySpan/Spans and make optional params with default value. Lots of codegen, but that was worth it 😎

The vulkan_core.generated.cs is over 90,000 lines of C# code 🙈

Next step: Bare metal Vulkan C# NativeAOT on top of the Linux kernel + libdrm 😱

Somes folks have been wondering what is happening with the .NET Modernization in Unity and the migration to .NET 8 and CoreCLR, so here is an update https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-future-net-development-status.1092205/page-54#post-9848724 🤗

I just want to get argv[0], please!

Created an issue https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/101837

Surprisingly, it is currently the wild west for something so basic, hope we can fix it for .NET 9.0, I'm happy to try to fix it and make a PR.

If you use Mastodon on desktop (as opposed to mobile), I cannot praise highly enough Phanpy https://phanpy.social/ #phanpy
It really cleans up my timeline, handles replies very nicely, and allows for a great "refresh" (view updates) experience.

Hey, late Saturday night, but I just released a new .NET library https://github.com/XenoAtom/XenoAtom.CommandLine Finally a lightweight command line parser compatible with NativeAOT, a direct fork/descendant of NDesk.Options/Mono.Options supporting all its features - and more! and the easiness of using it! 🥳

My recollection is that whenever we tested this, it didn't perform any better than standard generational GC

As spotted by @mzikmund https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzMMclD8QsI there is a potential new slnx format coming to Visual Studio, which is very welcome, but it might not be MSBuild based which is quite an unexpected and unproductive solution (haha 😁)

So, just shared my comment on the issue directly https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Clean-up-sln-VisualStudio-solution-fil/988209#T-N10636836 📢

Note that, it's not like I love MSBuild, but it is what we have today for authoring and building projects in VS/cmdline and so, let's not repeat the project.json mistake. 👀

That xz backdoor is insane 😱

xoofx, 2 months ago to random

Quite frequently for my OSS projects, I receive an email about a particular OSS project with some questions and I always respond the same thing.

If a project is OSS, the discussion about it is meant to be open (sourced) by default and I expect this discussion to happen in e.g GitHub issues (at the very least, but personally don't have time for GitHub discussions)

That would be something that I would teach at school these days. 😁

Pass the word, it's a good reminder! 🤗

Join Chris Klug and me today on our latest Livestream. I think this is a spicy 🌶️ take, and I’m curious how many folks agree or disagree with the guest regarding #dotnet #entityframework?

As promised, I wrote a blog post about the setup of a 10G home network with an OPNsense firewall and a Tailscale VPN https://xoofx.github.io/blog/2024/03/22/building-secure-10g-home-network/ 🥳

It's a little sad that after all these years I again find myself without an obvious day to day code editor.

Sublime Text is good... but when I work with Python I want Copilot and Copilot plugin for ST is bad. Python and C++ navigation is also very hit-and-miss out of the box.

VS Code has great Copilot integration and surprisingly good code navigation... but it locks up and becomes way too slow once in a while, requires occasional restarts, has weird UX in places, and nav breaks occasionally.

Oh that's a fun bug! So Unity has both Matrix4x4 and float4x4, and the have slightly different syntax, but close enough. The big difference is float4x4 is significantly faster. So a lot of people replace one with the other - happy.

BUT....

To do matrix multiplication with Matrix4x4, you do a = b*c.

To do it with float4x4 you have to do a = math.mul(b,c)

OK whatever. The problem is that a=b*c COMPILES FINE. It just does the componentwise multiply is all.

At last, we got the fiber in our neighborhood a few weeks ago and I finally upgraded my Internet box to the "Free" provider, with the Freebox Ultra, theoretically 8Gbps up/down... and I'm close to that 6.6 Gbps down / 7.6 Gbps up, for 50€/month, in a village a bit in the mountains at 750m above sea level 🤯

I remember my first modem in the mid 1990 was able to do something like 56Kbps (or less, I forgot which one I got first)

This is crazy how far Internet speed can go now. 🚀

Finally took the time to create a reusable GitHub workflow https://github.com/xoofx/.github for all my .NET OSS projects and used it successfully from https://github.com/xoofx/TurboXml/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml 🔁

That's pretty cool, don't know why I waited so long to do that! 😁

Heya! 🥳 Just released TurboXml https://github.com/xoofx/TurboXml a .NET library that provides a SAX like XML parser that can parse small to large XML documents with zero allocations (apart for an internal buffer that is pooled) and is able to accelerate its parsing with SIMD! 🚀

I can now continue my prototype of rendering some SVG by using this library 😅

In a windows application, is there a documented way to detect if it's running on the SteamDeck? I want to do this early at startup before initializing a Vulkan device. Can this be inferred from GetVersion, GetComputerName, or one of these Windows APIs?
