Read Part 1: MediatR vs MassTransit Mediator - Differences

The MassTransit Mediator implementation is more powerful than MediatR implementation, but also more complicate to use. Unit Testing a MassTransit Consumer is not a nice experience.

In this article I will propose some techniques to simplify the MassTransit Consumer and to make them look as straight forward as a MediatR handler.

Case study

We will study a very common use case (the most common use case which I can think of):

Why mediator?

In a ASP.NET Web application. You don't need mediator

If you prefers to make controlers depends directly to the Application Codes instead of indirectly via the Mediator.
If you prefers to make a normal ASP.NET Web Application instead of a Mediator Application

Frankly it is not a Bad choice, no need to use a Mediator framework or make a Mediator Application just because everyone did.. Though, There are benefits in making a Mediator Application:

Event sourcing (Messages broadcast), CQS pattern..
Decouple the Controler (presentation) from Application codes, so that you could swap the presentation technology. For eg, if you make a "MassTransit" application, then you can swap the presentation layer to Mediator or RabbitMQ, or Grpc.. => you are not to be sticked with or limited by ASP.NET presentation => but rather sticked with and limited by your mediator framework!

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)

ANSI Escape Sequences

Standard escape codes are prefixed with Escape:

Ctrl-Key: ^[
Octal: \033
Unicode: \u001b
Hexadecimal: \x1B
Decimal: 27

This is a fork of original gist https://gist.github.com/nrollr/3f57fc15ded7dddddcc4e82fe137b58e, with slight changes on pointing to 5.7 version branch, instead of 8 (latest default of MySQL in Hombrew).

Install MySQL 5.7 on macOS

This procedure explains how to install MySQL using Homebrew on macOS (Sierra 10.12 and up)

Install Homebrew

Installing Homebrew is effortless, open Terminal and enter :
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Note: Homebrew will download and install Command Line Tools for Xcode 8.0 as part of the installation process.
