FYI (July 24, 2025): I've been away since July 11, dealing with an emergency move. I'll be back working on all the amazing comments y'all have been putting down, most possibly by the first weekend of August. I appreciate all the contributions everybody has been making and all the time everybody has put to make all of our lives better.

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

MongoDB C# Driver Cheat Sheet

As of releasing MongoDB 3.4 and C# Driver v2.4, original cheatsheet by Derek is outdated. In addition, it has some deficiencies like connecting to MongoDB, creating indexes, etc. This updated version works fine with C# Driver v2.4.7 and MongoDB v3.4.

Setup

Define Document Models

Note: Defined models and collections will be used in entire cheatsheet.

	//Read
	//BsonDocument
	var collection = db.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("people");
	var builder = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter;

	//Note that the '&' '!' '\|' operators are overloaded when used in the FilterBuilder
	var filter = builder.Lt("Age", 33) & !builder.Eq("Name", "Ericsson");
	var list = await collection.Find(filter).ToListAsync();
