Protocol Buffers are a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols, data storage, and more, originally designed at Google (see).

protobuf.js is a pure JavaScript implementation with TypeScript support for node.js and the browser. It's easy to use, blazingly fast and works out of the box with .proto files! 

3. Article 12a: No posting your own photos or videos of sports matches. Only the "organisers" of sports matches will have the right to publicly post any kind of record of the match. No posting your selfies, or short videos of exciting plays. You are the audience, your job is to sit where you're told, passively watch the game and go home. 

• Remote - SSH: Work with source code in any location by opening folders on a remote machine/VM using SSH.
• Remote - Containers: Work with a sandboxed toolchain or container based application by opening any folder inside (or mounted into) a container.
• Remote - WSL: Get a Linux-powered development experience from the comfort of Windows by opening any folder in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.  

Channels are a construct that simplifies concurrent execution and pipelining of data and is often touted as one of the main draws of Go. But did you know that .NET also has built-in support for channels?

The PDF File Writer C# class library PdfFileWriter allows you to create PDF files directly from your .net application.
Most TrueType fonts such as Arial supports character values greater than 255. The PDF File Library allows you to perform a substitution. You can use any Unicode character and map it into the available one byte range.

Various .NET Core repos have switched their master branches to "5.0", and will use 3.x branches for 3.0 and 3.1 projects. This is very similar to how we approached 2.x and 3.0 projects. As context, master branches produced 3.0 builds for the entire period of the 2.2 project.
