The StackOnlyJsonParser combines the System.Text.Json library with C# 9 code generators to allow for fast and GC-friendly JSON deserialization. 

Philter is a jQuery plugin giving you the power to control CSS filters with HTML attributes.  Demo

Here's a list of filters that you can use and their limitations in Philter.

• blur
• grayscale
• hue-rotate
• saturate
• sepia
• contrast
• invert
• opacity
• brightness
• drop-shadow - Supports only black color. Requires 4 values. The 4th value instead of color is opacity 0 to 100%.
• svg - Custom SVG filter. Requires 1 value - filter ID.
• color - Requires 2 values. Color and opacity. Doesn't support transitions.
• vintage - Requires an integer from 1 to 6. Doesn't support transitions or opacity. 

Exploring the Features of C# 11: The Modern Capabilities of a Vibrant Language [Webinar]
C# has evolved long since its introduction about 20 years ago. In this live-coding presentation, learn about the fascinating features of the most recent version of the language. We will explore the most interesting features, their power, and how we can benefit from them to create concise, expressive, and maintainable code.

Becoming a software architect isn't something that simply happens overnight or with a promotion. It's a role , not a rank . It's an evolutionary process where you'll gradually gain the experience and confidence that you need to undertake the role.

Microbenchmark testing Python, Numba, Mojo, Dart, C/gcc, Rust, Go, JavaScript, C#, Java, Kotlin, Pascal, Ruby, Haskell performance in Mandelbrot set generation 

Benchmarking several languages/tools with Mandelbrot set generation. 1-to-1 translation of code from one language to another. No SIMD, no multithreading (except prange() trick with Numba), no tricks (e.g. skipping sqrt), a bare minimum of language specific adjustments to make the code nicer while keeping all loops and operations in place. 

Before we dive into the technical details, let’s start with a quick history lesson, courtesy of Don Syme who worked on adding generics to .NET and then went on to design and implement F#, which is a pretty impressive set of achievements!!
