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.

Who invented file extensions in file names?
> If you have any resources on this topic off the top of your head I'd appreciate it if you shared them
I wrote a Ruby library that attempts to be good at this https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/tree/NEW%E2%80%85SENSA...

Ruby's Switch Statement Is More Flexible Than You Thought
Just a style thing. I find it less visually overwhelming when every statement that contributes a true/false is visually contiguous. You can see it in context here if curious: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/blob/NEW%E2%80%85SENSA...

Introduction to Ractors in Ruby 3
This resulted in a huge memory-usage win since I can load data on the fly without blocking other queries. The last pre-Ractorized version of CYO allocated around ~200k objects in 7MiB and retained ~17k in 2MiB of memory. The first Ractorized version allocated ~20k objects in 2MiB and retained ~2.5k objects in ~260KiB of memory. See revision 8c88844b9d256ecc447f6818ab427284b5636cb9 for the initial conversion.

Ruby adds a new core Data class to represent immutable value objects
This is the use-case for me. Here's an actual example of a Struct I will probably convert to Data in the file-identification library I've been working on. Right now they just have their `#to_a` overridden to disable some of their annoying automatic Enumerable behavior: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/blob/dd2a99285072982d3...

Fun with File Formats
In addition to this resource and UK's equivalent (PRONOM/DROID, also mentioned in the linked post), I've found ArchiveTeam's wiki to be very useful for obscure file format details: http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/
The `shared-mime-info` database from freedesktop-dot-org is probably more worthy of contribution than these government-backed databases, at least in terms of number-of-end-users. New type definitions in their database will improve the entire Linux/BSD ecosystem (both desktop and server!) because it's consumed not only by fd.o's own `update-mime-database` utility but by many language-specific type-identification libraries too https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/blob/m...
…including (shameless plug) the new Ractor-based Ruby type library I've been working on in the wake of the `mimemagic` drama earlier this year: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/tree/NEW%E2%80%85SENSA...

Ask HN: If OOP is about message passing, why not sender.send(receiver, message)?
> for example it’s asynchronous
Ruby also lets you build programs like this as of 3.0, using Ractor#send / Ractor::receive https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/doc/ractor_md.html#labe...
It’s still pretty new so a lot of the Gem ecosystem hasn’t caught up yet (e.g. C extensions need to be explicitly opted-in as Ractor-safe), but I built a new “MIME::Types” library replacement with it recently and have enjoyed very few teething issues: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/blob/NEW%E2%80%85SENSA...

Building a Personal Website in 2021
I considered switching to Hugo a while back but ended up sticking with Jekyll for the extensibility, like a few others have said. I'm particularly interested in image thumbnailing and format conversion since so many of my posts are image-heavy. I often found that to be my biggest and most frequent barrier to writing since plain text only goes so far on the modern web.
In Hugo, every solution I've seen uses a custom shortcode or custom Markdown image template-rendering hook along with Hugo's build-in image resizing. Many posts even suggest converting image resources to different formats with an external tool. It does seem like the image handling situation in Hugo is improving since it just gained WebP processing support in addition to JPEG: https://gohugo.io/news/0.83.0-relnotes/
Jekyll plugins offer way more power than a shortcode ('include' in Jekyll-speak) can, like how the author of the OP is using Jekyll-Picture-Tag. I've been working on my own similar plugin to handle converting and embedding my site's images, videos, SVGs, PDFs, text files, fonts and weird retro computer formats, etc. For example I can embed an SVG using standard Markdown syntax like `![](somediagram.svg)` and get a tag with the SVG plus rasterized JPG+WebP+AVIF+whatever at multiple sizes all totally seamlessly: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD
Very happy the existence of Hugo lit a fire under the Jekyll team to work on speed though :)

Zola, A fast static site generator in a single binary
> It works at first, but you end up wanting to design your own custom SSG once you run up against something that goes against your mental model of how things should work.
There is a middle ground. I hit this point in Jekyll when I wanted Insanely Great image thumbnailing that no extant Jekyll plugin could provide, ended up writing my own tool to do that, but didn't want to duplicate the rest of Jekyll's functionality too. It's kiiinda hacky and I probably should propose the interface changes upstream if I keep doing this, but a very light monkey-patch lets my tool pretend to be a Jekyll::StaticFile that just happens to write out many separate files: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/blob/master/DistorteD-...

Djgpp
You do not need segment registers much if you stick to the tiny model. Here is someone compiling Rust to a 16-bit DOS COM executable:
https://github.com/o8vm/rust_dos
Not sure what the approach would be for them to expand that to support segments.
In DJGPP there are macros to allow your protected mode application access physical real-mode addresses (like when you want to write to video RAM). I don't know if IA-16 also does something like that, or if they added far/near keywords to the language like old 16-bit C compilers did (at least the ones I used).
Free Pascal has helper-functions to work with segment+offset pointer pairs, also without having to modify the language itself. I think that would work well enough in C, but I guess the old method of adding non-standard keywords was seen as slightly more convenient.

Resources for programs they used back in the 90s/early 00s?
It is probably possible for almost any old platform with some cross-compilation magic, but not anything that will be officially supported as the compiler-makers focus on modern systems. There is for instance an unofficial 16-bit DOS backend for GCC and at least one or two projects to compile Rust to DOS-executables (that I assume use Clang?) (in addition to 32-bit DJGPP(gcc) for MSDOS that I linked to above). Probably are similar projects to target 68k somewhere?
