Tokio-compat and Cargo's multiple version support feature

January 27, 2022 in software development

This week I decided that my Pocket to Buffer via IFTTT setup wasn’t cutting it anymore. Predominantly because I use a trial account of buffer and I can only queue ten items at a time. The developer in me screamed “you can build it yourself.” Although normally I would lean away from the idea I haven’t had much time to write Rust lately and decided it would be nice to throw together a few crates and get the job done.

RustFest 2016 - Learning to Love the Unfamiliar

November 16, 2016 in conferences, personal

Coming from Ruby, JS, Python or another language? Exploring new languages can be toilsome. Rust is no different. You’ll find new idioms and features that could be unfamiliar to navigate. You might even detest them at first; comparing it to how you’d prefer it in your favourite language. We will learn to navigate your transition into the Rust landscape. Introduce practices that might not make sense at first. See comparisons of how you may have done things, and how we can improve those practices with Rust.

Traits and Threads Workshop

September 9, 2016 in conferences

These are raw notes taken at RustConf during the “Traits and Threads” workshop put on by Aaron Turon All Exercises Methods are function that accept self &self.items == &(self.items) where the borrow (&) is for the item, not for self. Structs have no default value, requires creating all values. mut as mute not like a mixed breed dog Abstraction: The Plan Generics Traits As Interfaces For Code Resuse For Perator Overloading Trait Objects Traits are rusts interfaces.

Cross compilation to OSX with Rust

May 8, 2016 in software development

It started with Muxed. I was excited to get a working first build, but despite my development machine being a MacBook Air, I develop most in VM’s using vagrant. My native builds were all linux based. It would be easy enough to move the code to an OSX machine and compile there but I do not like build tools on my native machine. And that would simply be too easy.
