Pros and cons of Database identity
Nice to work with in URLs
Limiting, as they require a trip to the database, which precludes some patterns
Can be tricky to return IDs when inserting in some cases (EF Core etc solves this)
Can cause contention in high throughput scenarios. May make scaling out impossible

When migrating from Firebug to the Firefox Developer Tools, you may wonder where the features you loved in Firebug are available in the Developer Tools. The following list aims to help Firebug users to find their way into the Developer Tools. 

As a web designer, it’s hard to stay organized. Not only are you balancing several projects at once, but you’re likely facing tight deadlines and tough clients as well. You may also be bouncing from brand to brand, and having to constantly learn new brand guidelines and styles. 

You may wish to detect idle users and respond, for example, to log them out so their sensitive data is protected, or taunt them, or whatever. I don't care.

This module will include a variety of services and directives to help you in this task. 

 There are many ways to become a programmer beside getting a computer science degree. If you’re on that less conventional path, you may be wondering what you should do to catch up to people who do have a degree. How can you compete with someone who spent many years in a classwork learning about computers and programming? 

BenchmarkDotNet v0.10.13 has been released! This release includes:

• Mono Support for DisassemblyDiagnoser: Now you can easily get an assembly listing not only on .NET Framework/.NET Core, but also on Mono. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (Windows requires installed cygwin with obj and as). (See #541)
• Support ANY CoreFX and CoreCLR builds: BenchmarkDotNet allows the users to run their benchmarks against ANY CoreCLR and CoreFX builds. You can compare your local build vs MyGet feed or Debug vs Release or one version vs another. (See #651)
• C# 7.2 support (See #643)
• .NET 4.7.1 support (See 28aa94)
• Support Visual Basic project files (.vbroj) targeting .NET Core (See #626)
• DisassemblyDiagnoser now supports generic types (See #640)
• Now it's possible to benchmark both Mono and .NET Core from the same app (See #653)
• Many bug fixes (See details below)
