A look at const generics in Rust, explained through a Dungeons & Dragons magic system analogy.

Description: How to get Avalonia setup on MacOS (Big Sur). For VS Code users there’s an extension that can help speed up development process. You can find it on the VS Code Extension marketplace Step: Install .NET $ dotnet new install Avalonia.Templates # Check installation: $ dotnet --version Step: Install Avalonia Using the .NET CLI we install the Avalonia UI templates. We can install Avalonia project templates with the following command: Read more

In this post we’ll create our own third-party cargo subcommand, cargo deploy. When we call our command in a Rust project, the command will send a binary to our server at Netlify, and print out the URL in the command line. Let’s get started. Naming The binary of our command needs to be named cargo-${command}. In our case we’ll name it cargo-deploy. Placement The binary of our command needs to be stored in ~/.cargo/bin. There’s an easy way to do this: we simply create the binary (named cargo-deploy) and then publish it to crates.io. Then, cargo install cargo-deploy will download and place the binary in ~/.cargo/bin.

A quick post looking at two ways to do logging in a Rust code-base.

We start from scratch and try to build our understanding of the most fundamental idea of Fixed Point Theory- the Banach Contraction Principle.

I start by reading the Solana documentation and will see how far I get in building something with Solana.

MVCC stands for MultiVersion Concurrency Control. It’s a way to implement transactional isolation in any application that needs to manage the state of data items. The traditional mechanism for state management in a database is concurrent control using read-write locks. However, this solution is based on blocking and can create contention. MVCC is not blocking. This means that multiple clients can read and write simultaneously - reads do not block other reads and writes do not block other writes or reads. Read more

A beginner-oriented post containing a few fundamental concepts, and usually a step-by-step rudimentary example. I’m hoping this post will serve as a quick refresher on the covered subject. The content of the post is usually heavily inspired by books and Wiki - my aim is to have a post close at hand if I need to refresh my memory. For proper tutorials and primers - please see other sources on the Internet.

I recently started using Axum, a web framework for Rust, and I’m a fan of it so far. I’m writing this post to document my learning process and cover how to build a REST API using Axum as a web framework and SQLx for SQL queries. Let’s go!
