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.

[Q] Bayesian statistics!
Also this is quite nice practical introduction which might help with finding answers to your questions: https://github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/Probabilistic-Programming-and-Bayesian-Methods-for-Hackers

How many of you have used algebra, calculus, geometry, etc in your business careers/the real world?
This is a good intro to probabilistic programming.

Suggestions for some best books on computer vision
Probabilistic programming is a nice technique to have up your sleeve.

Predicting the distribution of a variable rather than a point estimate
You’re welcome! I would recommend Bayesian Methods for Hackers

A collaborative book on DeFi
All content is open-source: everyone is free to read, but also to contribute to the book using github. I know of one other book that followed this open-source 'publishing' model and became quite successful eventually through community efforts. I contemplated for a bit to create a book DAO but I think it's going to be overkill :).

[R] Analysis of Russian vaccine trial outcomes suggests they are lazily faked. Distribution of efficacies across age groups is quite improbable
Jake Vanderplas's Statistics for Hackers presentation is a perfect place to start. Bayesian Methods for Hackers is also very good.

The Top 10 GitHub Repositories Making Waves 🌊📊
Papers We Love (PWL) is a community built around reading, discussing and learning more about academic computer science papers. This repository serves as a directory of some of the best papers the community can find, bringing together documents scattered across the web. You can also visit the Papers We Love site for more info.

We have used too many levels of abstractions and now the future looks bleak
You might find the paper Out of the Tar Pit interesting if you haven't already read it: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/main/d...
The ideas and approaches you talk about evoked some of the concepts from that paper for me. It talks a lot about separating accidental complexity and infrastructure so you can focus only on what is essential to define your solutions.

John McCarthy’s collection of numerical facts for use in elisp programs
Sure he was expecting a practical language and was designing one. Lisp was from day zero a project to implement a real programming language for a computer.
Earlier he experimented with IPL and also list processing programming on Fortran. The plan was to implement a Lisp compiler. At first the Lisp code McCarthy was experimenting with, was manually translated to machine code.
Then came up the idea to use EVAL as a base for an interpreter, which was implemented by manually translating the Lisp code to machine language. Around 1962 then a compiler followed.

Python: Just Write SQL
I'm in a 4th camp: we should be writing our applications against a relational data model and _not_ marshaling query results into and out of Objects at all.
Elaborations on this approach:

Ask HN: Incremental View Maintenance for SQLite?
The short ask: Anyone know of any projects that bring incremental view maintenance to SQLite?
The why:
Applications are usually read heavy. It is a sad state of affairs that, for these kinds of apps, we don't put more work on the write path to allow reads to benefit.
Would the whole No-SQL movement ever even have been a thing if relational databases had great support for materialized views that updated incrementally? I'd like to think not.
And more context:
I'm working to push the state of "functional relational programming" [1], [2] further forward. Materialized views with incremental updates are key to this. Bringing them to SQLite so they can be leveraged one the frontend would solve this whole quagmire of "state management libraries." I've been solving the data-sync problem in SQLite (https://vlcn.io/) and this piece is one of the next logical steps.
If nobody knows of an existing solution, would love to collaborate with someone on creating it.

Good papers for high school students?
Here is a great Repo on GitHub named paers-we-love. You will surely find some great papers there and also some good other resources. Hope this helps.

I think Zig is hard but worth it
However, f and g are interchangeable anywhere else (this is not actually true because their addresses can be obtained and compared; showing that a C-like language retains its referential transparency despite the existence of so-called l-values was the point of what I think is the first paper to introduce the notion referential transparency to the study of programming languages: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/main/l...)
