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.

What is the best hex-editor in 2022
For MacOS, I use HexFiend. It has TCL-based binary templates (fairly easy to write) and a CLI launcher (hexf)

Patching an Embedded Synthesiser OS from 1996 with Ghidra
Shout out to Hex Fiend! My favorite feature is the template system[0]. It makes it much easier to figure out file formats for which you have no documentation. You write a little tcl code to describe the parts of the format you understand as you go.

Firefox's Optimized Zip Format: Reading Zip Files Quickly
I recently made a visualization template of ZIP file contents for HexFiend. The format is certainly wonky, and some writers (I’m looking at you, macOS) don’t get it quite right: https://github.com/HexFiend/HexFiend/blob/master/templates/A...

Quite OK Image is now my favorite asset format
> The QOI benchmarks shows it only lagging a small bit behind PNG in compression ratio, while performing much faster (multiples) in both encoding and decoding.
Presumably that’s with stock libpng, which uses zlib. I wonder if anyone tried patching it to use the substantially faster (on x86) libdeflate[1] instead? It doesn’t do streaming, but you shouldn’t really need it for PNG textures.

Computing Adler32 Checksums at 41 GB/s
Note that libdeflate has used essentially the same method since 2016 (https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/blob/v0.4/lib/adler32...), though I recently switched it to use a slightly different method (https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/blob/v1.12/lib/x86/ad...) that performs more consistently across different families of x86 CPUs.

Zlib – a spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library
Going away from Zlib proper but staying with its format, there’s libdeflate[1], an implementation that’s substantially faster on modern machines but can’t stream, and of course Zopfli[2], a glacially slow compressor that’s somewhat better (and occasionally much more so).
