List, Collection Initializer and Capacity

Hi! Does creating a new List with new List<T> { new T() } (or any number of elements > 0) starts with the proper capacity in order to avoid resizes or does it start at 0 and then grows to add the elements and I should be using new List<T>(1) { new T() } (for instance) instead? Thanks for helping me figure this out!

Compression with real time compressed size estimation

Hi all. Is there a something I can use to compress a stream of data while getting a good estimate of the compressed size as I feed data into it? I doesn't have to be state of the art. I was thinking of maybe using something very simple like LZW but there aren't many good libraries or resources for it as it's not very popular nowadays.

Casting from int to uint and back

Is casting a negative int to a uint and then back to a int guaranteed to give back the original negative value on all platforms, architectures and runtimes? Thanks!
