What’s the big deal, why not use Arc and Mutex ? Actors Are Not Rust-Specific – They’re a Universal Pattern!The Actor Model is Language-AgnosticThe Actor Model was actually invented in 1973 by Carl Hewitt – way before Rust existed! It’s a conceptual framework that can be implemented in any language. The WebSocket Challenge Imagine you’re […]
The singleton pattern gives you the benefits of global access while maintaining control over how that global state is created, accessed, and modified. It’s essentially “global variables done right” for cases where you genuinely need global state. To demo this, we’ll code an example to connect to a database. This is just to make the […]
Revisiting A’ Level Maths – Calculus with the help of AI 🔢 What is Calculus? Calculus is the branch of mathematics that studies change. It has two big halves: 1. Differential Calculus 2. Integral Calculus Bonus: They’re Connected! They’re two sides of the same coin — and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links them.It basically […]
Rather than use Rig.rs or Ollama-rs let’s consider the bare bones of the frameworks that we take for granted.. We make a POST reqwest to the Ollama API and send a body specifying the model and messages ( role & content ). Next – iterate over the stream and display the chunks until there are […]
MCP is completely agnostic to HTTP (and its versions). MCP doesn’t require HTTP at all. ✅ MCP Is Transport-Agnostic MCP is fundamentally about structured message passing, not the transport. It can work over: 🧠Why MCP Skips HTTP HTTP comes with baggage MCP doesn’t need, like: HTTP Concern Needed in MCP? Why Not? Verb (GET/POST/PUT/…) […]
Using https://github.com/mcp-auth MCP Servers + Auth0 Next:create the custom access token verifier that will fetch the user identity information from the authorization server (Auth0) using the access token provided by the MCP inspector. whoami.py example So far we just checked we can do auth, now let’s use with a toy MCP in Python add the […]
In Rust, workspaces are a way to organize multiple packages (crates) into a single project with a shared Cargo.lock and output directory (target/). This is especially useful for large projects with multiple components, such as libraries and binaries, that need to share code or build settings. 🧱 What Is a Workspace? A workspace is a […]
AppState provides a clean, type-safe mechanism for sharing crucial resources like database connections, configuration settings, and caches across your application’s request handlers. Without it, developers would need to repeatedly establish database connections or reload configurations for each request, dramatically reducing performance and increasing complexity. By leveraging Actix-web’s AppState pattern, you create more maintainable, efficient, and […]
