Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Where can I find a primer on how computers boot?
The following is a pretty decent historical page about the pre-(U)EFI MBR (Master Boot Record) boot process:
https://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/STDMBR.htm
Note that EFI/UEFI -- occurred much later in time than MBR...
Related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record
You might also wish to check out some emulators, most notably Bochs (https://bochs.sourceforge.io/) and QEMU (https://www.qemu.org/) because they simulate the boot process, and if you're in their debuggers, you should be able to inspect that process step by step -- but also more generally emulators for other machines/platforms/architectures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_system_emulat...) -- because in general, most of those emulators should simulate the given machine/platform/architecture's boot process...

Can anyone recommend some good free tools for programming, debugging, and virtualization on Ubuntu?
With both of those you can make some really nice DOS programs. Which you can then run in bochs (not virtualized, but an emulator. Close enough :) ).

Can't remember if it covers more practical stuff like GRUB but I really like https://littleosbook.github.io/

why if python is turing complete that means that everything can be created in it, but nobody decides to create things like OS, game engines and compilers and even if they do they use dozens of libraries and frameworks that are writen in languages like C, C++ or maybe Rust, why it is so?
A good place to start learning about OS programming is https://littleosbook.github.io/

What should I know for this task? (OS+TCP) + questions after googling
So a non 9p disk is more work than getting TCP? (UDP is my first goal but before that I'll read https://littleosbook.github.io/)
