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.

Symmetry in Chaos
Paul Bourke's website is great; don't forget to check his other articles!
Over 10 years ago, it inspired me to play with strange attractors, which eventually ended with me writing https://github.com/chaoskit/chaoskit.
It was fun and I learned a lot, but it's definitely a deep rabbit hole. I've moved on since then.

Qt 6.3 Released
I'm not the parent, but I did something similar. It's an editor for fractal flames where the UI is done in QML and rendering and generation is done in C++ and OpenGL. https://github.com/chaoskit/chaoskit
I liked that QML allowed me to iterate quickly on the UI. It was really quick to just compose a bunch of components together and have something working. I also enjoyed the integration with the C++ side. Overall I found QML pretty solid. If I'd build a desktop app again, I'd definitely consider it.

Ask HN: Show me your Half Baked project
https://github.com/chaoskit/chaoskit
Demo video: https://youtu.be/ZSz3zN14NTQ
It's an editor and renderer for Fractal Flames[1] written in C++17 and with a UI in Qt/QML. Other software that renders Fractal Flames is e.g. Electric Sheep[2] or Apophysis[3].
It's a project that I've been working on and off for 10 years and it's still not ready… Reimplementing it several times certainly didn't help, but I learned a lot in the process! It's grown from a simple for loop to basically a language interpreter.
Sorry for the lack of README or license, but this is still half-baked ;)

Curl is now a CVE Numbering Authority
No need to use curl, make HTTP requests great again with https://github.com/ducaale/xh

Why people in Google hate Go?
Except when you actually enjoy things being fast. For example, HTTPie easily adds 0.5-1s delay to every request because it's written in Python, especially on the first invocation. xh (https://github.com/ducaale/xh), on the other hand, starts immediately because it's written in Rust. I very much like this trend.

HTTPie Desktop: cross-platform API testing client for humans
HTTPie is great and was a big improvement for me over cURL.
However, I ended up switching to xh[1] as it's significantly faster and I prefer its output.

Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff
No, but unless portability is a concern or you're massively familiar with curl, you might want to consider xh. It's much more intuitive.

The curl-wget Venn diagram
wget on the other hand, automatically converts the ñ to UTF-8 hex and resolves the link perfectly.
I've searched the curl manpage and couldn't find a way to solve this. Please help.
I'm having to use `xh --curl` [1] to "fix" the links before I pass them to curl.

Get better with Vim one tip at a time
Very nice, you should add xh to the User-Agents though.

I Could Rewrite Curl
While not a rewrite - one recent tool for making http requests which i quite enjoy is:
https://github.com/ducaale/xh
It's basically python httpie rewritten in rust. my only gripe is that i keep forgetting that it exists - and that "xh" is for http and "xhs" is for https.
So i frequently end up with curl anyway:)
