9 min readTo implement a static cache in Rust, you can follow these steps:Define a struct to represent the cache. This struct will typically have fields to store the cached values, such as a HashMap or a Vec, depending on your requirements. Implement methods for the struct to interact with the cache. This can include methods like insert() to add values to the cache, get() to retrieve values from the cache, and delete() to remove values from the cache.

6 min readTo create an atomic type from an unsafe memory in Rust, you can use the AtomicPtr type provided by the std::sync::atomic module. AtomicPtr allows you to create an atomic pointer to any type of data.Here are the steps to create an atomic from an unsafe memory in Rust:Import the necessary modules: use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicPtr, Ordering}; use std::ptr; Create an unsafe block to perform the necessary operations: unsafe { // your code will go here...

5 min readThe Kotlin Standard Library functions are a set of utility functions that come built-in with the Kotlin programming language. These functions provide convenient ways to perform common tasks when working with different types of data.To use the Kotlin Standard Library functions, you need to import them from the corresponding package. The functions are categorized into different packages based on their usage. Some of the commonly used packages include kotlin.collections, kotlin.text, kotlin.
