Just wrote my first English blog to introduce hardware intrinsic in .NET Core 3.0 fiigii.com/2019/03/03/Hardwa… In the future several months, I will write more to explain SIMD programming via C# and .NET Core JIT compiler optimizations for SIMD code.

@xenko3d has their own bindings: github.com/xenko3d/SharpVulk…, and I know that @WaveEngineTeam supports Vulkan as well. Not sure which bindings they use, or if they are public. There is also github.com/FacticiusVir/Shar…, which is probably closer to what you want.

Very excited to announce: For the next 2 years, Don Syme @dsyme from Microsoft Research will be with the Xamarin team on an assignment to help us make F# better for mobile and cloud users. Don will be continuing his F# language design and compiler work as a major part of this.

Dear fellow computer scientists/engineers, let us not advance or allow platforms to facilitate discrimination (or tribalism, profiling, harassment, voter suppression), even if it pays well. nitter.gq/seattletimes/status/94…
Dozens of leading employers placed recruitment ads on Facebook targeted to be seen only by particular age groups, an investigation by ProPublica and The New York Times has found. st.news/2BTPG7F

Every time VS locks up, I think of it as a friendly reminder from Microsoft not to do work on the UI thread.

There is a huge disconnect between the standard committee and people actually using C++ in production every day.

You do not need to track people to make money in web search, using anonymous ads based on keywords, not personal profiles or search history.
