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.

Incremental Note-Taking
For math symbols I use Unicode characters, I have XCompose shortcuts [0] to easily insert them. I'm currently using WinCompose to use the same shortcuts on Windows. This works fairly well for my use cases (programming language theory and undergrad math), but doesn't support the fancy layouts that LaTeX does (fractions, large sub/superscripts).
I don't have a good solution for graphs/pictures/drawings. I don't think I've ever needed to, if I did I think I would just put the image in a folder alongside the note (`YYYY-MM-DD-ext`).

Senior Google exec opposes remote work, moves to New Zealand to work remotely
> I also use nifty and unique tools like this, which helps me learn languages in my sleep (I use it for engineering coursework too!): https://github.com/Frederik-D-Weber/cosleep
o.O Does tbis work?

Incremental Note-Taking
I use a pretty interesting technique to learn my electrical engineering coursework, known as closed-loop Targeted Memory Reactivation (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6843748/). In other words, I basically learn my notes when I am sleeping!
Targeted Memory Reactivation is a technique used when an individual is sleeping, and a tone of a certain frequency is first played to synchronize your brainwaves to make sure that you will learn the work. Then the audio (to the corresponding notes) is played. You have to use an EEG cap, known as the OpenBCI device. Anyways, here is the repo I use to learn my coursework in my sleep, but good luck compiling it: https://github.com/Frederik-D-Weber/cosleep
Basically, I create my notes and I dump them into Anki flashcards. I basically describe the problem as "things are in terms of X and you are solving for Y, what do you do next?". I create both a written and audio version of my notes.
Anyways, I "recreate" (copy/paste) my notes in Anki, as LaTeX is supported there. I make each flashcard short "like sending a text message to a friend". Anyways, for verbalizing the math I use:
1. https://02522-cua.github.io/lecturenotes/pdf/Chang_1983_Hand...
2. https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/jwilson/files/mathsigns.pdf
My original notes (particularly electrical engineering coursework--which I recreate as Anki cards), I use:
1. How I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-1/
2. How I draw figures for my mathematical lecture notes using Inkscape: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/
3. How I manage my LaTeX lecture notes: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-3/
The repos for this are here: https://github.com/gillescastel

Using brain interfaces to learn about learning
This is not new news.
You can use OpenBCI [1][2][3] to encode information into your memory efficiently. There is a package on GitHub that you can use with OpenBCI to encode things into your memory in your sleep utilizing audio Anki flashcards [4]. There is also a package that allows you to do this while awake [5].
