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 am I missing about interfaces?
a. you might do so purely out of argo cult, i.e. because someone told you this was the right thing to do™, and that's a silly exercise. b. you could also be doing this for a good reason: to use the interface with a mocking tool like NSubstitute

The Moq-gate: You Either Die a Hero...
When comparing it to one of its most well-known alternatives, NSubstitute, which has "only" reached 85.6 million downloads, it is fair to say that Moq is the most widely used mocking library in the .NET ecosystem.

Since v4.20, Moq is harvesting email addresses
Maintainer rejected the PR. They have temporarily disabled the integration in https://github.com/moq/moq/pull/1375 but kept the SponsorLink project reference in the source code. It seems like their intent is to re-enable the integration at a later point :(
NSubstitute [0] might be an alternative. Or to fork Moq pre-4.20.

Setting up a simple testing project with C#
In terms of mocking there are several frameworks you can use, but I've mainly relied on Moq and NSubstitute. Within this demo, I'm going to use NSubstitute as I've found it a little easier to use.

- Warum wird so wenig Open-Source-Software in Unternehmen genutzt?
- The release notes for Moq 4.20.2 seem to suggest, that this version does not contain this dubious mechanism [obfuscated DLL collecting commit emails], although it may be temporary, as the reason is that it breaks builds on MacOS.

.NET developers alert: Moq NuGET package exfiltrates user emails from git
Moq’s prior version, 4.18.4, free of the exfiltration behavior, accounts for 6,765,006 downloads in the past six weeks, demonstrating the potential blast radius of privacy breach if a developer hadn’t noticed the issue and raised it with the community.

Ask HN: Benefits to Keeping Packages Updated?
In light of the Moq issue yesterday[0] I'm interested to understand why the consensus seems to be so in favor of keeping packages up-to-date in software.
The common explanation I see is it "keeps you up to date with security and bug fixes".
But in practice this seems to just involve most orgs mandating Dependabot and mindlessly updating every dependency when a new version becomes available. (Yes in an ideal world you code review every change in every dependency, but... I mean, let's be real here. Just take the update frequency of the AWS SDK packages in isolation, very few orgs are actually doing this)
As a maintainer of an open source library I know most releases are a crapshoot, they're just as likely to contain new bugs and flaws as they are to fix old ones.
So staying up-to-date seems to open up codebases to far greater risks than outdated dependencies:
1) Zero days, a new package launches with some critical security flaw that isn't going to get noticed for some time.
2) Supply chain attacks, old packages are generally immutable. Therefore most supply chains attacks seem to involve take-overs of existing package (name)s by disgruntled or new hostile 'maintainers'. The new versions are far more at risk.
3) New bugs, the dirty truth of OSS is most work is done by unpaid people with little time or ability to focus. Most software isn't formally verified. New updates are a risk.
In addition the old version is a known quantity. Unless you know absolutely the version you are running is compromised (log4j, OpenSSL) what benefits does updating actually bring? The default presumption that version number goes up is better seems like yet more security/compliance cargo cult behavior.
What am I missing here?

Popular open source project Moq criticized for quietly collecting data
NSubstitute is good, I used it at a previous job.
I've favored Moq in the past because I think there are a couple of things it makes a bit easier or is a bit less opinionated about, but NSub is perfectly cromulent as well.
Someone posted a quick guide to migrating a bunch of it easily in one of the issues in the Moq repo discussing this whole mess: https://github.com/moq/moq/issues/1374#issuecomment-16712411...

Does Moq extract and send my email to the cloud via SponsorLink?
Going by reports in the releated Github issue Moq does not let users opt out of this privacy-invading data collection: https://github.com/moq/moq/issues/1372
This is sad. Moq was my favorite mocking framework in .net. I will not be using it moving forward and if I had any projects using it I'd rip it out ASAP.

gomock - GoMock is a mocking framework for the Go programming language.
AutoFixture - AutoFixture is an open source library for .NET designed to minimize the 'Arrange' phase of your unit tests in order to maximize maintainability. Its primary goal is to allow developers to focus on what is being tested rather than how to setup the test scenario, by making it easier to create object graphs containing test data.
Fluent Assertions - A very extensive set of extension methods that allow you to more naturally specify the expected outcome of a TDD or BDD-style unit tests. Targets .NET Framework 4.7, as well as .NET Core 2.1, .NET Core 3.0, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. Supports the unit test frameworks MSTest2, NUnit3, XUnit2, MSpec, and NSpec3.
