Regular functions block threads Async doesn’t block threads Before we look at what tokio does, let’s consider how we’d run 3 tasks if they were ‘blocking’ Without Tokio (blocking): If you used std::thread::sleep, the execution would pause (block) for each function call until the sleep duration completes. This means that when you execute the code […]
Code plus screenshots – how to manipulate the layout in Rust + iced.rs Credit : https://jl710.github.io/iced-guide/index.html © Héctor Ramón (hecrj) for the iced logo. just using “row” Change “row” to “column” just using “column” Column is centered…but not the text! 🤔 Column is centered and the text! 😀 Centre the window – iced.rs – 0.13 […]
Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) are used in atomic swaps, allowing parties to exchange assets across different blockchains without trusting each other directly. Understanding HTLC Atomic Swaps with Bob and Alice Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) are smart contracts used in atomic swaps, enabling two parties—let’s call them Bob and Alice—to exchange assets across different blockchains without […]
Let’s pick the code apart for a timelock smart contract and with a bit of help from chatGPT and the Stellar documentation we’ll make sure we understand every part of it. https://github.com/stellar/soroban-examples/blob/main/timelock/src/lib.rs Timelock This is how it works with Alice and Bob: In summary, the contract protects the funds by ensuring that only the designated […]

Testing Rust code for “signup” and checking the token. Add Scope and then you can create the JWT. Watch the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/e4a8lOT_Gxg https://surrealdb.com Use the bearer token created by the rust code, not the one here as it will have expired WEBDOCK Linux VPS Hosting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern Let’s look at another design pattern – “The factory pattern” If you like these articles, there is a great site where you can learn more about Design Patterns : https://refactoring.guru/ The factory pattern is a design pattern in programming that helps create objects (or instances of classes) without telling the code exactly which kind […]
In this article we show how to leverage a Large Language Model and a Vector Database to search private data without touching the internet. Why worry? Well, for instance, 11% of data employees paste into ChatGPT is confidential! On premise AI for business is not as difficult as it may sound… This article will guide […]
In this article I show some code to web scrape EBAY using Rust and a proxy provided by ScrapeOps The code below uses the ScrapeOps endpoint : “https://proxy.scrapeops.io/v1/” and the requests are forwarded on to your chosen url to scrape. How to get an API key? You can get a free one, with 1000 tokens […]
