7 Ruby Standard libraries you should get to grips with
In the past I have opted to use the HTTP.rb gem, but for simple tasks it’s really useful to learn Net/http or even open-uri for simple GET requests.

The Best Ruby HTTP clients for 2021
I actually like HTTP.rb's API more, but they still can't make a decision about "base URL" API, which is quite valuable for API wrappers, e.g. @client = HTTPLibrary.new('https://api.base.com/v2/') and then @client.get('/foo').

Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
Read through the comments and was surprised no one mentioned libvips - https://github.com/libvips/libvips. At my current small company we were trying to allow image uploads and started with imagemagick but certain images took too long to process and we were looking for faster alternatives. It's a great tool with minimum overhead. For video thumbnails, we use ffmpeg which is really heavy. We off-load video thumbnail generation to a queue. We've had great luck with these tools.

.Webp is the bane of my existence
if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

How are responsive image sets are generated, stored, and managed server-side?
The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.
