I was going thru struct Command in std::process ¹

Obviously, I tried the very first code snippet in the rust playground. There is a very convinient ▸ to run the sample code.

The code ran without any errors.

But no output 🤔

I have been using Helix as an editor, not as an IDE. One of the USP of Helix is LSP support out of the box

Recently, I’ve been programming in rust.

Helix is also written in rust.

So I think it is natural that they would support rust LSP rust-analyzer and it does.

But I wasn’t getting auto completions 😞

In rust, tests are written in the same file as the code. But I want to have the tests in a separate file.

Conventionally, only the integration tests are written in files under tests folder. ¹

I just wanted to have the unit tests in a separate file. So I created a file src/my_tests.rs and moved all the tests there.

But cargo test kept saying running 0 tests

Turns out, I’m not the only one. ²

It has been little over 2 years since I forked and updated jnjosh’s internet-weblog theme

While I made several changes to my fork, I never updated the README.

till now that is.

During last few days, I updated the README to match my fork.

These are minor changes, and majority of the README is still from the original (For the things that have not changed)

If you are curious, have a look 😄

After reading (not done) Steve’s Tutorial and Official doc ¹ (which mentions Steve’s tutorial anyway) I decided that actually using it on real projects is the way to go.

Here is the workflow (after a few ² iterations ³) that works

1. jj new : Declare your intention to start new work.
2. jj describe : Intention alone is not enough 😀. What will you be working on ?
3. Now work. Make changes.
4. Time to make our “change” available in git. Get the change id from jj log
5. jj bookmark set main -r <change_id_from_previous_step>
6. jj bookmark track main@origin (or appropriate branch on origin). You’ll need this step only once.
7. jj squash -i : Select the files that need to be “added” to the commit
8. jj git push --allow-new -b main --remote origin ⁴ Done!

Finally, I must say that I’m blown away (and humbled) by the fact that “The Steve Klabnik” who wrote the Jujutsu tutorial and the Rust book, helped me ⁵ (Near real time responses) with my problem.

I learnt about Jujutsu from the “Rust in Production” podcast episode about Git Butler

One of the attractive quality about it is that it works with existing git repos ¹

First superpower : Start using it with existing git repo locally cloned using jj git init --git-repo=. ²

This creates a .jj folder in the existing repo. .jj and .git co-exist peacefully

But I didn’t know that.

So for the first project to try Jujutsu, I jj git cloned my existing repo in a new folder, so that I have “old” git repo as well as jujutsu repo.

No, this is not a post about how to implement doubly linked list in rust.

Or ir could be a very short post, since doubly linked list in built-in the std::collection as LinkedList

Following functions are available:

• new : Creates new/empty linked list
• push_back : Adds an element to the list
• push_front : Since this is doubly linked list, element can be added at the beginning as well. Nice!
• pop_back and pop_front : Remove an element from the list
• clear : empty the entire list
• append : Append one list to another to make bigger list. One that got appended becomes empty though.
• contains : Searches through the list for the element ¹
• There are iter, iter_mut and len as well.

[Documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/ struct.LinkedList.html) is easy to understand

I wanted to use Openvibe - an app that allows having a single timeline across multiple social media networks like mastodon and bluesky. It also supports cross posting (and more)

But currently it only has mobile apps (for both iOS and Android)

While the Desktop app is “in the works” - no specifics are provided.

I do not use mobile apps if at all possible. (Except for podcast and messeging apps to keep in touch with Family - on the go. If I’m at my desk, I use the Desktop version)
