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.

Ask HN: What would you show an interviewer if they asked you for code samples?
A template language that I wrote for generating HTML. Meant to be included as a C++ library. https://github.com/Ghoti-io/Tang
Plenty of other C++ code of mine is on Github (such as a bunch of utility stuff, a thread pool, and a HTTP server that I'm writing from scratch), even though I would only call myself an intermediate C++ programmer. I just happen to like the language.
Or, if I had to throw other stuff into the mix, a fairly recent patch to Manim (Python) that got accepted (https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3155).
If I were really pressed, I would dig up a lot of my Drupal (PHP) stuff that I did years ago.

Ask HN: How to admit yourself that you cannot learn everything?
1. Realize that it is impossible to become an expert in everything.
2. Realize that it is very possible to become an expert in targeted areas.
3. Pick the targeted area that you enjoy the most and that makes the most $$$.
4. DO SOMETHING with the knowledge. Don't just acquire knowledge, because you will forget it. Build something useful... something that you can show off! THAT is the point at which people will start looking at you as the expert.
Personal note: I decided that I wanted to create a useful, non-trivial programming language, so I built one entirely on video. Github link: https://github.com/coreyp1/Tang Youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZqirAnnqaCZ8lT8w7p2P...
Guess what? NOBODY is going to watch the videos, and I know that. But I did it for myself. People look at 2 things: the end result, and the fact that it was me that did it. I'm STILL not an expert at Vim, Flex, Bison, ICU, Make, or programming language design in general, but I absolutely know much, much more than I did starting out, and I learned things that I didn't anticipate. Most of all, though, I found the process personally very rewarding.

What are some alternatives?
RE-flex - A high-performance C++ regex library and lexical analyzer generator with Unicode support. Extends Flex++ with Unicode support, indent/dedent anchors, lazy quantifiers, functions for lex and syntax error reporting and more. Seamlessly integrates with Bison and other parsers.
lexertl - lexertl: The Modular Lexical Analyser Generator
UTF-Utils - A simple and small header-only helper for transcoding between UTF-16LE, UTF-32LE, and UTF-8. This includes the utilities for verifying valid unicode codepoints for the encoding as well as handling invalid codepoints by using a replacement character for that encoding instead of throwing.
PEGTL - Parsing Expression Grammar Template Library
mgclisp - An S-expression interpreter
Lexepars - Concise monadic parser combinator library with separate lexer/parser phases, off-side rule and big-size input support.
matcharoni - A pattern matching heavy language designed with Advent of Code. langjam0002 runner-up
simplematch - Minimal, super readable string pattern matching for python.
lexy - C++ parsing DSL
