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.

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