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.

JVM Profiling in Action
We'll use async-profiler and flame graphs for profiling. To simplify the process, we'll run the code using JBang.

All my favorite tracing tools: eBPF, QEMU, Perfetto, new ones I built and more
which can output in a format understood by Brendan Gregg's flame frames (https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html)
But that's not quite the kind of tracing you're talking about. We also built a printf-style interface to our recording files, which seems closer:

Recap of Werner Vogels' Keynote at re:Invent 2023
Strategies included discontinuing or resizing underutilized services, transitioning to more cost-effective solutions, reducing the current resources to the amount of resources that we need for our application, and conducting detailed analyses of computing resource utilization through tools like flamegraphs. This detailed scrutiny helped identify and rectify significant cost-driving areas, such as garbage collection and application configurations.

Flameshow: A Terminal Flamegraph Viewer
Historically brendangregg's since AIUI he basically invented flamegraphs
https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html
So if you can make your tool eat whatever https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph is fed with you're going to support a lot of existing tooling across OSes and languages.

Introducing Flame graphs: It’s getting hot in here
“Flame graphs are a visualization of hierarchical data, created to visualize stack traces of profiled software so that the most frequent code-paths to be identified quickly and accurately.”

Using SVG to create simple sparkline charts
SVGs are amazing for interactive visualisation too. Like Flamegraphs: https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html

Good example of using flame graphs to speed up java code (50x improvement)
This may be a good example of the application of a flame graph but it is not a good demonstration of flame graphs; the graph is nearly incidental. The source has an actual explanation.

Intro to PostGraphile V5 (Part 1): Replacing the Foundations
A profiling flame graph from Graphile Crystal (a precursor to Grafast) using GraphQL.js' executor (each tick is 1ms, total: 29ms). As we removed more and more responsibilities from GraphQL.js, we ended up only using it for output. Replacing this final responsibility with a custom implementation in Graphile Crystal itself, we reduced execution time for this query down to 15.5ms (effectively removing the majority of the yellow portion of the flame graph).

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
