Integration testing TUI applications in Rust
2024-01-21
In building games with any language, there will be a loop to handle the key events. In case of crossterm, it’s event::read:
1if poll(Duration::from_millis(10))? { 2 let event = read()?; 3 match event { 4 Event::Key(KeyEvent { 5 code, 6 state: _, 7 kind, 8 modifiers: _, 9 }) => { 10 if kind == KeyEventKind::Press { 11 let mut tetromino = self.current_tetromino.clone(); 12 match code { 13 KeyCode::Char('h') | KeyCode::Left => { 14 tetromino.move_left(self, stdout)?; 15 self.current_tetromino = tetromino; 16 }
libp2p performance benchmarking
2023-10-27
I invested some time in studying QUIC and libp2p In this article, I will show you how to benchmark the network transfer using perf module for 2 scanerios:
- high latency, no packet loss
- low latency but high packet loss
Let’s print help first:

Learning Rust by building Tetris: my favorite childhood game
2023-10-03
After completing the Rust book and working through rustlings, I found myself standing at the crossroads, wondering where to go next. It was then that I had an idea - a project that would allow me to apply my newfound knowledge and create something meaningful. My favorite childhood game, Tetris, became the inspiration for my next coding adventure.
Since I want it to be playable on Windows, I chose the TUI library crossterm.
SICP Exercise 2.77: expected a procedure that can be applied to arguments, given #f
2023-07-13
2.5.1 Generic Arithmetic Operations
Louis Reasoner tries to evaluate the expression (magnitude z) where z is the object shown in figure 2.24. To his surprise, instead of the answer 5 he gets an error message from
apply-generic, saying there is no method for the operationmagnitudeon the types(complex).
To simplify the install-complex-package procedure, I made the following changes:
1(define (install-complex-package) 2 (define (make-from-real-imag x y) 3 ((get 'make-from-real-imag 'rectangular) x y)) 4 (define (tag z) (attach-tag 'complex z)) 5 (put 'make-from-real-imag 'complex 6 (lambda (x y) (tag (make-from-real-imag x y)))) 7 8(install-complex-package) 9 10(trace-define (make-complex-from-real-imag x y) 11 ((get 'make-from-real-imag 'complex) x y)) 12 13(magnitude (make-complex-from-real-imag 3 4))
A terminal UI for Taskwarrior
2023-04-21
When I first started using Linux, I came across Taskwarrior, a command line tool for managing to-do lists. However, I never got around to using it extensively, mainly because there was no Android app available at the time, making it difficult to sync tasks from my phone.
I did experiment with taskwarrior-pomodoro but unfortunately, it wasn’t as effective as I had hoped.
Recently, though, I stumbled upon foreground, a new discovery that reignited my interest in Taskwarrior,
A simple terminal UI for ChatGPT
2023-04-01
When I started learning Linux, I immediately fell in love with the terminal. I still remember the feeling of typing commands into the terminal, pressing Enter and seeing if I got the expected result. As a system administrator and DevOps engineer, I always wanted to do everything on the terminal.
The reasons are simple: it allowed me know what was happening behind the scenes, and it was faster than switching to other tools, and then back to the terminal to continue working.
gocloud - writing data to a bucket: 403
2022-12-23
Problem
We are writing some integration test using Go CDK. After writing some data to a bucket:
1 writer, err := buckOut.NewWriter(ctx, fileDst, nil) 2 if err != nil { 3 logger.Errorf("failed to write to fileDst: %v", err) 4 return err 5 } 6 defer writer.Close()
we got an error when reading:
1(code=NotFound): storage: object doesn't exist
By reading the documentation, I pay attention to this:
Closing the writer commits the write to the provider, flushing any buffers, and releases any resources used while writing, so you must always check the error of Close.
Terraform failed to acquire state lock: 403: Access denied., forbidden
2022-11-17
Problem
We stored Terraform state in gcs. For some reasons, we got this error randomly when running on BitBucket pipelines:
1╷ 2│ Error: Error acquiring the state lock 3│ 4│ Error message: 2 errors occurred: 5│ * writing 6│ "gs://bucket/path/to/default.tflock" 7│ failed: googleapi: Error 403: Access denied., forbidden 8│ * storage: object doesn't exist 9│ 10│ 11│ 12│ Terraform acquires a state lock to protect the state from being written 13│ by multiple users at the same time. Please resolve the issue above and try 14│ again. For most commands, you can disable locking with the "-lock=false" 15│ flag, but this is not recommended. 16╵
The King of Vietnamese language game show
2022-11-04
My family likes to watch “The King of Vietnamese language” game show together. I want to encourage our son to love Vietnamese. At the end of the game, the player has to find 7 complex words from the letters, for e.g,
đ / ă / n / g / c / a / y
One evening a few weeks ago, while we were watching the final round, my wife suddenly came up with an idea: this game could be programmed.
SICP Exercise 2.43: Eight queens: interchange the order of the nested mappings
2021-11-02
Exercise 2.43: Louis Reasoner is having a terrible time doing exercise 2.42. His queens procedure seems to work, but it runs extremely slowly. (Louis never does manage to wait long enough for it to solve even the 6× 6 case.) When Louis asks Eva Lu Ator for help, she points out that he has interchanged the order of the nested mappings in the flatmap, writing it as
