File system paths on Windows are stranger than you might think. On any Unix-derived system, a path is an admirably simple thing: if it starts with a /, it’s a path. Not so on Windows, which serves up a bewildering variety of schemes for composing a path. 

Simple mediator implementation in .NET. In-process messaging with no dependencies.
Supports request/response, commands, queries, notifications and events, synchronous and async with intelligent dispatching via C# generic variance.

You should install MediatR with NuGet:

 Install-Package MediatR 

Or via the .NET Core command line interface:

 dotnet add package MediatR 

Bridge Network Driver

The bridge networking driver is the first driver on our list. It’s simple to understand, simple to use, and simple to troubleshoot, which makes it a good networking choice for developers and those new to Docker. The bridge driver creates a private network internal to the host so containers on this network can communicate. External access is granted by exposing ports to containers. Docker secures the network by managing rules that block connectivity between different Docker networks. 

Overlay Network Driver

The built-in Docker overlay network driver radically simplifies many of the complexities in multi-host networking. It is a swarm scope driver, which means that it operates across an entire Swarm or UCP cluster rather than individual hosts. With the overlay driver, multi-host networks are first-class citizens inside Docker without external provisioning or components. IPAM, service discovery, multi-host connectivity, encryption, and load balancing are built right in. For control, the overlay driver uses the encrypted Swarm control plane to manage large scale clusters at low convergence times. 

MACVLAN Driver

The macvlan driver is the newest built-in network driver and offers several unique characteristics. It’s a very lightweight driver, because rather than using any Linux bridging or port mapping, it connects container interfaces directly to host interfaces. Containers are addressed with routable IP addresses that are on the subnet of the external network.

As a result of routable IP addresses, containers communicate directly with resources that exist outside a Swarm cluster without the use of NAT and port mapping. This can aid in network visibility and troubleshooting. Additionally, the direct traffic path between containers and the host interface helps reduce latency. macvlan is a local scope network driver which is configured per-host. As a result, there are stricter dependencies between MACVLAN and external networks, which is both a constraint and an advantage that is different from overlay or bridge. 

A library that provides a simple way to create lambda expressions to filter lists and database queries. 

var filter = new Filter<Person>();
filter.By("Id", Operation.Between, 2, 4,  Connector.And);
filter.By("Contacts[Value]", Operation.EndsWith, "@email.com", default(string), Connector.And);
filter.By("Birth.Country", Operation.IsNotNull, default(string), default(string),  Connector.Or);
filter.By("Name", Operation.Contains, " John");
var people = People.Where(filter);

//or like this...

var filter = new Filter<Person>();
filter.By("Id", Operation.Between, 2, 4)
      .And.By("Birth.Country", Operation.IsNotNull)
      .And.By("Contacts[Value]", Operation.EndsWith, "@email.com")
      .Or.By("Name", Operation.Contains, " John ");
var people = People.Where(filter);

So that would generate an expression like this: 

People.Where(p => (p.Id >= 2 && p.Id <= 4)
             && (p.Birth != null && p.Birth.Country != null)
             && (p.Contacts != null && p.Contacts.Any(c => c.Value.Trim().ToLower().EndsWith("@email.com")))
             || (p.Name != null  && p.Name.Trim().ToLower().Contains("john")));

Here are some of the reasons why nullable reference types are less than ideal:

• Invoking a member on a null value will issue a System.NullReferenceException exception, and every invocation that results in a System.NullReferenceException in production code is a bug. Unfortunately, however, with nullable reference types we “fall in” to doing the wrong thing rather than the right thing. The “fall in” action is to invoke a reference type without checking for null.
• There’s an inconsistency between reference types and value types (following the introduction of Nullable<T>) in that value types are nullable when decorated with  “?” (for example, int? number); otherwise, they default to non-nullable. In contrast, reference types are nullable by default. This is “normal” to those of us who have been programming in C# for a long time, but if we could do it all over, we’d want the default for reference types to be non-nullable and the addition of a “?” to be an explicit way to allow nulls.
• It’s not possible to run static flow analysis to check all paths regarding whether a value will be null before dereferencing it, or not. Consider, for example, if there were unmanaged code invocations, multi-threading, or null assignment/­replacement based on runtime conditions. (Not to mention whether analysis would include checking of all library APIs that are invoked.)
• There’s no reasonable syntax to indicate that a reference type value of null is invalid for a particular declaration.
• There’s no way to decorate parameters to not allow null.
