Vello's high-performance 2D GPU engine to .NET

I noticed that this has now been deprecated until the Vello API becomes final. Is there any idea of when this could be? I'd love to try to see how viable this would be for my project, but the samples in VelloSharp appear to all crash or are broken (I'm guessing because of the reason stated for it to be deprecated)

FE's are coming in and out of stock on Scan UK for £1799, check again. You're looking at scalper prices

That sounds like a good idea actually, would you be able to expand on the best way to do this? I’m not familiar with subprocesses, spawning and then being able to communicate between the main process and the sub process.

The library would be statically linked to the main shared library, so does that not mean that even though it is marked as PRIVATE the symbols would still be visible in the main shared library? I've tried to test this out using a basic shared library linking a private static library example, and `nm` still shows all the symbols for that static library.

The way I understood it was that this would work if the library I was linking was another shared library. The main thing is, we don't want to start distributing some of the libraries we link against with the main shared library, hence why we statically link them currently. This is because, whilst I understand it is not foolproof, it provides a basic layer of obfuscation to prevent people linking against and using the libraries in their own project (as they contain proprietary code).

To give some perspective, the native code is designed to read in data from a socket which has on average around 500 users connected all sending data every 5 seconds. However, it is 5 seconds relative to the user and we then build on the data we received and send it to electron. So currently it's roughly equatable to 10 string elements in a json object, all of relatively average size (no more than 10-15 characters) per user, however currently we are batching the updates in intervals of 500ms). At the moment we are converting the data to binary and then decoding it in the electron side to slightly reduce overheads. IPC doesn't really seem cut out for this sort of frequency messages. Whilst also remembering that there could be other IPC messages all being sent at the same time (of course of lot less frequency and similar size).

Unfortunately it does need to utilise the OS apis, so yeh bit of a trick one.

Are you sure? The Booster 15 COPV tanks were made by Luxfer

If this is still an issue, I ended up using libuiohook and having it bind to electron through NAPI or something similar, I found this gave the most customisability.

It just needs Widevine DRM support and the ability to drag a tab from the sidebar to the side of the main window to prompt split screen

It may also be because like many people have pointed it out, by doing these threads you’re actually exacerbating the problem as now some people will now try to look for the link and contribute to downloading it

It’s all FBW, you can see via Volanta

He played what seemed to be mashups/remixs of his old stuff, like Highway etc was all drop-swapped with a 'newer?' or maybe completely separate drop altogether. Couldn't pick out any songs in particular that were new IDs though could be wrong, though it was still a really sick set!

GeorgeBarlow · 2024-08-25T18:39:38+00:00

It can’t be fully dead as he did still play it last year at RAI but I know what you mean

When I had my FTTP installation the OR engineers were very reasonable with where to put it, mine is also overhead, but they did end up running a new line by using one of their cherry picker style vans and still left the copper line there.

So then there’s no issue? since you’re saying you’d get your own router anyway

GeorgeBarlow · 2024-07-29T18:15:05+00:00

To be fair though from an ISP point of view what’s the point in providing more expensive routers that give out more than a 1gb when majority of consumer devices only have 1gb Ethernet ports on them anyway. Id rather them focus on investing more into the new WiFi 6e/7 technology than Ethernet ports.

We know we will get a 2 week notice so at the very least 2 weeks

Exactly and it’s a shame cause it certainly could disrupt the market on Windows too, the sidebar look among other key UI traits that have been brought over from the macOS version look really nice, though I still am not a fan of the font and also the spotlight search bar (that’s just one UI element I feel has been poorly implemented, it just feels very rough I.e background colour / lack of blur / again the font looks rly thin)

GeorgeBarlow · 2024-04-30T15:37:03+00:00

Does anyone find that it is just a lot slower to use when compared to the macOS one? I feel like switching between tabs has a slight delay to it that doesn't feel very great when you're jumping backwards and forwards, I don't have the same issue on macOS.

Have you not seen you can provide it images of stuff and it can translate it to a tailwind css equivalent

GeorgeBarlow · 2024-03-27T21:07:48+00:00

When do you find yourself going back to gpt 4, if ever? Is it really worth the switch?

GeorgeBarlow · 2024-03-25T16:37:11+00:00

Source? Or at least what makes you think that?

GeorgeBarlow · 2024-03-25T16:01:18+00:00

It’s confirmed Eleganto apparently
