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.

We Are Doomed: A pessimistic point of view of "modern software engineering"
Neither Apple nor Microsoft want any usable multiplatform graphics API. For this reason, none of them delivers such a thing.
If you want a multiplatform graphics API, you should use a library which implements such API on top of these native OS-specific APIs.
I have good experience with that one: http://diligentgraphics.com/diligent-engine/ I’ve used it couple times on Windows with D3D12 backend, and on Linux with GLES 3.1 backend.

The Ultimate Cross-Platform Rendering Engine?
Diligent Engine: They say their engine is the successor of bgfx, but I'm not rly into that topic.

Collecting the best C++ practices
Diligent Engine. A Modern Cross-Platform Low-Level 3D Graphics Library and Rendering Framework Tweet.
- Diligent Engine 2.5.3 is out: path tracing tutorials, render state cache, hot shader reload and more
- Good repos for beginners to browse that follow best modern C++ practices (including testing, static analysis etc...)
- Check out a new path tracing tutorial in Diligent Engine that shows how to use a render state packager to build pipeline states off-line and pack them into archive so that they can be loaded fast at run time.

Improving my CPP skills
Read other people's code (I recommend modern small to medium sized github projects, because large ones can be overwhelming) or else you will forever stay in your bubble of how things are done. For example, I had learned a thing or two by using (and code browsing) diligent engine's source.

A Rant on Developers
I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.
- Diligent Engine v2.5.2 is out: Render State Notation, State Object Serialization, Off-line packager tool and more

The Man Who Killed Google Search
It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.
All I want to do is search.
No AI.
No ads.
No shopping.
Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.
I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.
Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.
Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.
It can't really just be me, can it?

Ask HN: Is Hacker News under attack from spam bots?

Tesla Recalls All Cybertrucks for Faulty Accelerator Pedals
Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations on how we approach that).

Show HN: What Are You Working On?
Hey HN,
I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.
I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.
I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Let me know what you think!

Not Apply to YC
I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet.

Moxie: I'm no longer involved at Signal
not sure. I searched comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...
Most recent are more culture wars stuff but some earlier ones appear to suggesting a degree of alignment with the USA government.

Don't Be Evil (Google)
This is a topic that has come up a ton on HN, in submitted articles[1] and practically once a day in comments[2]

Ask HN: Why are posts about the Gaza genocide being censored?
Many stories related to the ongoing famine and genocide in Gaza are tech-related: tech companies big and small are enabling Israel's military action in Gaza and in some cases directly supporting the occupation and genocide. The injustices of the real world are often played out again in cyber space, what some people have called a "digital apartheid".
This week, both Google and Amazon employees protested their company's involvement in this, and the stories relating to this were immediately removed from Hacker News front page. Why?
Why is HN flagging anything related to this topic?
