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.

This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond
I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:
https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.

Not to forget the engine Charka: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
The only bit of the old Edge that had its source emancipated. It was/is? quite performant.

Have you deployed Microsoft Todo to end users? How did you deploy it?
As a Linux user, I very much think Microsoft should have continued Trident and Chakra. Apple also should have continued releasing Safari for Windows. Our web QA setup was entirely built around Macs back then, but it was great to be able to test sites with Safari on Windows, and to have another responsive browser on Win32.

The Javascript Engine
Edge was initially using Chakra but has been rebuilt using Chromium and the V8 engine.

Crystal's Interpreter (2021)

I've found the source code to be quite readable too - albeit from a bug-finding perspective, not a strictly pedagogical one.

Exploring React Native’s new architecture
Furthermore, the new architecture decouples the JavaScript interface from the engine, enabling the use of other JavaScript engines such as Hermes, V8, or Chakra.

Enumerating and analyzing 40 non-V8 JavaScript implementations
I am astonished at the omission of ChakraCore, open sourced by Microsoft but sadly abandoned by them after they switched Edge to Chromium: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore. But it looks like it’s still chugging along as a community effort rather than being completely abandoned.

Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain
> Is this password-derived key the "account key" which I see in the Proton Mail settings interface?
No, the account key is an OpenPGP key which is encrypted with a key derived from your password. The "key encryption key" is not separately visible. The address keys are in turn encrypted using the account key.
> Please clarify what key derivation function is being used.
We use bcrypt, in addition to the OpenPGP S2K (i.e. the bcrypt output is fed as the "password" to OpenPGP's key encryption).
We are in the process of rolling out OpenPGP.js v6, which supports Argon2 for the OpenPGP S2K step, after which we'll start using that - but we aren't quite yet.
> Are there instructions for verifying that all this is happening? I think a lot of folks on HN won't be convinced otherwise.
Take a look at https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/blob/main/packages/..., for example. Though to be honest, if you want to verify that we aren't sending the password to the server anywhere, in principle you'd have to check the code of the entire web app. It's all open source, but it's a lot of work, of course. But you can also check the latest audit report: https://proton.me/blog/security-audit. They also verified all of this stuff.
> It's just that I'm going to create an OpenPGP identity for things like signing code commits on git, signing packages I publish. (...) So I was really hoping to be able to use Proton Mail with this identity instead of the key pair that's generated for the account.
Yeah, I understand. Though, the typical advice from a cryptographer's perspective would be, it's better to use separate keys for separate purposes; and the simplest way to do that is to generate separate OpenPGP certificates, so that's what we'd generally recommend. But, if you want to generate separate subkeys and sign them all using a common primary key, that's also reasonable enough. And, we can improve the documentation on that, although it's a bit of a niche use case (not for HN of course, but for the general audience it is).
> Thanks for reaching out here on HN. I've been a really happy Proton Mail customer and now I'm even happier.
Thanks, glad to hear! :)

Proton Pass – Protecting your passwords and online identity
> Finally, in keeping with our long track record of transparency, Proton Pass is open source so anyone can review and verify our security architecture
They sure do enjoy writing that sentence without including any hyperlinks. This (https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/tree/main/applicati...) appears to be the browser extension and https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/tree/main/packages/... appears to look like the backend referenced in the extension's readme, but that directory's readme is zero bytes so (shrug)

Announcement: SMTP Server in Rust with DMARC, DANE, MTA-STS, Sieve, OTEL support
PS: I hope that we selfhosters will have a modern, efficient, easy to use mail suite one day with modern features like JMAP, good self-learning spam integration, automated checks and validations for SPF/DMARC/DKIM or whether the IP/host suddenly appears in a blocklist and integrated encryption at rest for emails. Something that isn't 30 services in a container image, with 30 different configuration styles. Maybe even with an API integrated that's compatible to the ProtonMail frontend (like the neutron server once intended to be). Anyway, I'm sorry for dreaming. ;)

Why is the "Special offer" button still there after I purchased 1 year of Mail Plus through that very button?? Not happy.
And if you want to customize it further you can use Stylus to add custom CSS, Tampermonkey to add JS, or even modify the whole thing yourself from source (if you run it locally it syncs with your actual account).
