Just released my Vulkan renderer on GitHub! 🌊
I'm using it as a learning project to understand more about @VulkanAPI and graphics in general. Hope it can be useful to you, happy to share what I learned!

@HMRCcustomers Hi, the webchat put me on queue on that day, but after a while of saying I was 30 min away it silently disconnected me. Since then I wasn't even able to get on the queue again, it just says no advisers are available. Any tips on how to have better chances to speak to an adviser?

@HMRCcustomers Trying to register for Self Assessment, it says that my address is wrong and to check against the info in my Personal Tax Account. It fails even if I copy/paste the address from there. I live outside the UK. No agents are available on phone/web chat. What can I do?

[Attilio Provenzano @atti_p]

@HMRCcustomers Thanks Steve, in the past few days it kept saying that no advisers were available, but it seems to have worked now, I'm in queue

[Attilio Provenzano @atti_p]

@HMRCcustomers Hi Steve, no, it is on vested stock options. I have been advised that I need to declare them in my tax return as they are above the minimum threshold.
The msg from HMRC said
"We are unable to process your application because the address provided does not match our records."

@HMRCcustomers Hi Suchona, I need to register to pay tax some capital gains from the 23-24 tax year, in which I was a UK resident

[Attilio Provenzano @atti_p]

While supporting developers with @VulkanAPI, many smaller tips came up from emails/GitHub issues that didn't fit in previous blogs in our @Arm best practices series.

So we collected those in Q&A form - check out the first part here!

As some people guessed from the riddle, today is my birthday. And naturally this means I have a present for all of you.

In 2018, I wrote an article for GPU Zen 2 about Vulkan performance. Today I'm sharing this article with you for free.

Yeah, it's long

@Arm just released several new samples to the official @VulkanAPI Samples repo, including efficient pipeline barriers, layout transitions and use of specialization constants!

Check them out here:

@MathematicalBro @zeuxcg Hi :) it depends on your application but it's going to be an estimate, we set our block size to 256 kB by default.
If you run out of space you can allocate another. You could have a layer that abstracts it out, so the application just requests a buffer of the size it needs.

[Attilio Provenzano @atti_p]

Just published a new #Vulkan blog where we investigate another deep topic - descriptor set and buffer management!🕵️‍♀️

Shoutout to @zeuxcg for covering the topic in great detail in GPU Zen 2, I recommend checking it out if you have the chance :)
