Array # sample e Array # shuffle usando SecureRandom

Encoraja você a usar SecureRandom com mais frequência. Não use srand !

USO

$ gem install securerandom-array
$ irb
>> require 'securerandom/array'
>> [1,2,3].secure_shuffle # e.g. [1,3,2]
>> [1,2,3].secure_sample # e.g. 2
>> [1,2,3].secure_sample(random: Random.new(42)) # => 2
