You can make a value type with explicit field layouts; this is specifically referring to the default behaviour of ValueTuple (e.g. `var x = (a, b, c);`).

Understandable! I am a C# dev on Linux myself; I definitely think it's a great language and really good ecosystem.

I feel about Rust the way you feel about C# myself-- admirer from the distance. 😅

Sorry to upset you further but C# has had operator overloading since v1! It added support for overloading the compound-assignment operator in v14.

My condolences 😅

I feel like hating regions is like hating goto-- it's something a lot of SEs repeat as an unquestioned wisdom but I agree with you; I think regions have their place.

Despite being fairly skeptical regarding AI, I tried today to use Claude Code to implement a fairly simple feature in my .NET rendering library.

The results were... Better than I expected, but much worse than I'd need it to be for this to be the main way I author code.

#csharp #dotnet #claude

Thank you! Your updates are also always very interesting to follow along with. :)

I'm building a rendering library for modern .NET!

Been a while since I posted; here's my realtime rendering library loading an entire glTF file and creating a live scene with it in ~20 lines of C#

In this example I'm using KDE/Plasma on Wayland

tinyffr.dev (upcoming v0.7 will support this)

#csharp #gamedev #graphicsprogramming

It's one thing to be the lawyer for a globally-infamous paedophile; but I always assumed these people at least had some shame.

...But to call the one independent magazine that dares to shine a light on your sickness "a rag" for simply exposing it?

These people are unfixable.

Didn't realise that was your feed; I've been using it since I joined bsky. Very nicely done!

Feeds on bluesky are good at giving equal weight to everybody; I like how the "trending"/reskeet-weighted ones are separate.

If bsky gets as popular as twitter I might want a way to generally filter out accounts with more than 2 or 3 standard dev's worth of followers, at least sometimes

I've been on Kubuntu since xmas. I installed it as a dual-boot in case I needed to switch back and forward, but I haven't booted up Windows once.

Highly recommend KDE to ex-Windows'ers (Kubuntu is Ubuntu + KDE), it feels like "what Windows should have been". Gnome by contrast is a bit locked-down.

Well he's kinda right; AI art is just like Razer products-- interesting at first glance until you look closer and realise it's covered in a plasticky sheen and mostly appeals to weird capital-G Gamer types

(I say that as an owner of a Razer mouse, unfortunately)

Good choice of game too 😀. I was given Hades II for xmas, been playing it a bit too much haha

Hmm sorry, maybe someone more familiar with .NET + Wine might be able to help.

NuGet Warning NU3028 NU3028 warning code

Does anything here help? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/...

NuGet signed-package verification - .NET CLI Learn about how NuGet performs signed-package verification using root stores that are valid for code signing and timestamping.

Hmm sorry to hear that. It looks like from your screenshots that the issue is cert verification for the nuget packages; there might be more info here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...

No goated? You're kidding. Naaaaaa

Are you able to install/run SDK ver 9.0.307 on Wine? I vaguely recall canonical turning off trust for symantec certificates for some period in the past before turning them back on too

Otherwise you can set `DOTNET_NUGET_SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION` envvar to `false` and that might help

Do it!

I don't often self-aggrandize but I'm so proud of myself for getting tinyffr.dev (my C# realtime 3D renderer) working on Wayland just 2 weeks after moving from Windows 🥳

Still bugs need ironing out but the upshot is I can render a spinny cube in ~20 lines of C# in linux

#csharp #linux #gamedev

Kar of the year...

I'd been using KDiff3 in Windows for decades without knowing it was a KDE app.

Now I'm running @kde.org Plasma as my main desktop it feels like there was something always calling to me over the years 😅

Awesome! I've had that problem with Windows myself.

Side-note but why *is* Windows so slow at that?

Very impressive!

For any future googlers: I needed to switch to Rider's experimental Wayland support (I opted to go full Wayland with KDE/Plasma).

Done by adding "-Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit" to the VM options (Help -> Edit Custom VM Options)

Been switching to #linux for #csharp / #dotnet dev over xmas. KDE/Plasma is so much better than Windows.

Only bad point unfortunately is @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social -- it's so laggy compared to VS. I don't even think it's rendering at my monitor's refresh rate (240hz).

Anyone got any tips?

Just released v0.6 of TinyFFR (my .NET realtime 3D lib), now featuring support for much more material types!

Support for Linux, MacOS, Windows; and integrated with WPF, Avalonia, and WinForms.
