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 Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
ImHex
βA Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.β
I actually used it not too long ago to inspect why a mp4 file wasnβt valid. The pattern language that they have is quite nice and having sections of the hex highlighted and being able to see what structures they represent and what data was on those structures was very useful!

Spectrum Analyser, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum reverse engineering tool
Just one note: Please use UI scaling; it's near impossible to read on a 150% 4k screen (much less on 100%). Unfortunately, young eyes don't last forever.
The UI looks very much like ImHex (https://imhex.werwolv.net/) is this a coincidence, or is it the standard ImGui look and feel?
I wish ImHex had a decompiler for Z80 as well, but this is much better.

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
I didn't use RemedyBG or Tracy, but I did try ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex) and it loaded 12% of the CPU because everything is being repainted 60 times per second. Heck, it even has an option to limit the FPS, which solves the CPU load a bit, but at the same time results in sluggish input because the event handling is tied to the drawing frequency.
So yes, the experience was not good, and I don't see what these tools would lose by using a proper GUI. I don't want every utility to drain my laptop battery like a decent video game.
ImGui is great if you already have a loop where everything is unconditionally redrawn every frame, but otherwise it's a really odd choice for an end-user application.

The Hiew Hex Editor
I now use ImHex after looking for years for a good one. It has a pattern language to provide highlighting.

Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface with minimal dependencies
ImGui is brilliant. I can highly recommend this hex editor built using it: https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex

[Tutorial] How to manually change FOV (SoC, CS, & CoP)
Download a hex editor such as ImHex and open it. I'd recommend downloading the portable version of whatever hex editor you are using if it's offered. That way you don't have to install the program and can instantly delete it off your drive when you're done.

Visual IDE research feedback
"It seems from reading the post that the scope of the project is already way too large. This a decades-long project (for a single dev). But most (maybe all) of what's being offered already exists." My googling shows them existing as singular (or a few) features but not in a cohesive package; the "closest" one I could find is https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex.

Hexyl: A command-line hex viewer
If you want a true Hex Editor (or better, Hex IDE), I strongly suggest you to take a look ad ImHex [1].

Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
I prefer a SQL-like format. Itβs not as complete but it cover most of the day-to-day use cases. Take a look at https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql (I am the author). Congrats on fq!

Jc β JSONifies the output of many CLI tools
This is great!
I am the author of SPyQL [1]. Combining JC with SPyQL you can easily query the json output and run python commands on top of it from the command-line :-) You can do aggregations and so forth in a much simpler and intuitive way than with jq.
I just wrote a blogpost [2] that illustrates it. It is more focused on CSV, but the commands would be the same if you were working with JSON.

Working with more than 10gb csv
You can import the data into a PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite/... database and then query the database. However, even with the right choice of indexes, it might take a while to run queries on a table with hundreds of millions of records. You can easily import your data to these databases with SpyQL: $ spyql "SELECT * FROM csv TO sql(table=my_table_name) | sqlite3 my.db" (you would need to create the table my_table_name before running the command).

ClickHouse Cloud is now in Public Beta
https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql/blob/master/notebooks/json_...
And ClickHouse looks like a normal relational database - there is no need for multiple components for different tiers (like in Druid), no need for manual partitioning into "daily", "hourly" tables (like you do in Spark and Bigquery), no need for lambda architecture... It's refreshing how something can be both simple and fast.

I want to convert a large JSON file into Tabular Format.
I thought this library was pretty nifty for json. It's also relatively fast compared to most json parsers: https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql
