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.

Racket Language
Racket is my favorite language. It's fast, practical, has solid foundations and an extremely nice concurrency story (based on concepts borrowed and extended from Concurrent ML). It has an excellent documentation system, with an integrated package ecosystem, which means that most packages have high quality documentation with cross-references. It has a great backwards-compatibility story -- a lot better than Python's, for example, which I use in my current dayjob. So, my impression of the commenters saying it's too academic or not practical is that they probably never dove deeply enough, or they are students who were only exposed to the teaching languages in the past. It's definitely not perfect: the community is small, the runtime has a high memory baseline, parallelism requires spinning up a Racket VM per system thread, among others, but these are things that will improve over time.
In the past several years, I've:
* built & run an e-commerce site written in Racket[1]
* built a native macOS and iOS reminders app, available on the App Store [2, 3, 4]
* built a cross-platform desktop client for Apache Kafka [5, 6, 7]
* built a `#lang` for Lua [8]
Among[9] other[10] things[11]. I think that's all pretty practical stuff!

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
A really simple keyboard driven reminder tool for macOS:

Ask HN: What Are You Working on This Year?
My goal for this year is to continue building (mainly Mac and iOS) apps (like Remember[1] and Franz[2]) using Racket and to help improve the language and ecosystem in any way I can.

What programming language is good to make GUI's
PS this is a macOS app with the GUI made with swift https://github.com/Bogdanp/remember/tree/master/cocoa/remember/remember but the backend is Racket.

Notes on My Remarkable Tablet
Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.
I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.
So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.
```

Microsoft's next Surface laptops will reportedly be its first true 'AI PCs'
There's support for Linux on the Surface range:
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte...
But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag.
If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops are probably the better choice.

Surface Pro 2017 didn't boot USB flash drive(s) and system
How to get out of this situation? Links https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1240 - the same problem as I have and the same puncture, but the person managed to get out of the situation https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/16d40vs/kill_my_surface_pro_2017_need_help/ - my similar post in a nearby subreddit, but since I'm here, the problem turned out to be bigger than I thought

New Linux Tablet from Star Labs
I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.
