The IBM Swift Sandbox is an interactive website that lets you write Swift code and execute it in a server environment – on top of Linux! Each sandbox runs on IBM Cloud in a Docker container. In addition, both the latest versions of Swift and its standard library are available for you to use. 

This is a guide on how to make requests to a protected resource using Client Credentials with the IdentityServer4.Contrib.HttpClientService nuget package. The library is actually an HttpClient service that makes it easy to make authenticated and resilient HTTP requests to .protected by IdentityServer4 resource

** Highlights
* IO bound methods have gained an async counterpart. Not intended for parallelism, make sure to await each
call before further interacting with a session and its queries.
* Strongly typed DML operation (insert/update/delete) are now available as Linq extensions on queryables.
* Entities collections can be queried with .AsQueryable() Linq extension without being fully loaded.
* Reference documentation has been curated and completed, notably with a Linq section.
 

This is an initial release of a partial implementation of the .NET platform on top of the Java Virtual Machine, and compatible with Android runtime. The Bluebonnet bytecode compiler translates .NET CIL into Java bytecode in Java classes, and additional run-time support is provided by the Baselib library. 

A few of the customer-requested updates in Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP1 are:

• Column store performance is improved when batch mode operators spill over to disk. A new XEvent provides insights into column store inserts.
• Several issues in buffer pool extension SSD configuration are addressed, including the ability to do instant initialization of the buffer pool extension file.
• Certain queries compile faster when using new cardinality estimator, and other cardinality estimation query plans are more efficient when using TF-4199. 
• The scalability benefits of two trace flags (TF-1236, TF-9024) are applied automatically.
• Backup header information retrieval works better with encrypted backups.

• Thread شماره یک درخواست allocate کردن یک string با طول 10000 کاراکتر را میدهد.
• حافظه، فضای کافی برای تخصیص این حجم از حافظه را نداشته و سعی میکند با اجرای Garbage Collector، این حجم فضای مورد نیاز از حافظه را خالی کند.
• CLR تمام Thread‌های برنامه را متوقف میکند و Garbage Collector شروع به کار کرده و اشیا بلااستفاده «روی Thread ای که آن را فراخوانی کرده است» را Collect میکند.
• بعد از پایان Collection، تمامی Threadهای برنامه که در مرحله قبل متوقف شده بودند، مجددا شروع به کار خواهند کرد.

Preview: The SQLite Llibrary as a .NET assembly
The latest pre-release of SQLitePCLRaw contains a new bundle package called SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_cil. This package is like SQLitePCLRaw's other "bundle" packages except that it involves no P/Invoke and no platform-specific shared libraries. Instead, bundle_cil provides the SQLite library as a pure .NET assembly which was compiled by Llama.

ChromiumHtmlToPdf is a 100% managed C# .NETStandard 2.0 library and .NET Core 3.1 console application (that also works on Linux and macOS) that can be used to convert HTML to PDF format with the use of Google Chromemium (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browser) 

Overall it’s pretty clear that .webp images are smaller and more efficient.
