Std: Mem Is Interesting (veeso.dev)
The std::mem module in Rust is a bit of a mystery. It's 10PM and I'm randomly reading the std library documentation and I decide to take a look to the current main modules of the library (btw they're implementing random) and I see std::mem, which I've used a couple of times, but actually it contains a lot of things I've basically never used before, and I've worked with Rust for over 5 years now.

Creating beautiful charts with JRuby and JFreeChart (headius.com)
I recently returned from RubyKaigi where I had the opportunity to sit down with members of the Japanese Ruby community and show them a little bit of JRuby. One of the items that came up a few times was the difficulty of utilizing external libraries from Ruby: if it’s a C library, typically you have to either write a C extension or do the extra work of writing up an FFI binding.
