Source code for the finished project is here. NVIDIA TensorRT is a framework used to optimize deep networks for inference by performing surgery on graphs trained with popular deep learning frameworks: Tensorflow, Caffe, etc. Preparing the Tensorflow Graph[...]

Background There are three things you need to know to start with: Operations on read-only variables which are value types copy the variable value first. I’ve written about this before on this blog. C# 7.2 addresses this by introducing the readonly modifie[...]

I’ve been following the progress of .NET Core with a lot of interest, and trying to make the Noda Time master branch keep up with it. The aim is that when Noda Time 2.0 eventually ships (apologies for the delays…) it will be compatible with .NET Core from[...]

Tweet The other day I had a small task to inspect return values of methods and if the following property exists then set it to empty array.         public long[] Achievements { get; set; } This needed to happen once on every web request, and I decided to [...]

The near-complete obviation of nulls is perhaps the most frequently- (and hilariously-) cited benefit of working in F#, as compared to C#. Nulls certainly still exist in F#, but as a practical matter it really is quite rare that they need to be considered[...]

Just a quick note to say that I have updated the JSON serializers benchmark to use the latest Nuget versions of ServiceStack.Text, Json.Net and JsonFX. I have also included the JSON and BSON serializers from the MongoDB C# Driver in the test, and since BS[...]

Note: Don’t forget to check out Benchmarks page to see the latest round up of binary and JSON serializers. Following on from my previous test, I have now included JsonFx and as well as the Json.Net BSON serializer in the mix to see how they match up. The [...]

To find out if a string contains a piece of substring, here are three simple ways of going about it in C#, just to name a few: String.Contains String.IndexOf where the return value is >= 0 Regex.IsMatch Out of curiosity I wanted to see if there was any no[...]

In this edition we are going to be doing a taste test, C# vs F#. Oh yeah, if you quickly glanced at the title you may have thought this

Note: don’t forget to check out the Benchmarks page to see the latest round up of binary and JSON serializers.   Since my last round of benchmarks on binary serializers, there’s a new player in town – MessageShark, which at the time of this writing does n[...]
