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.

How do I know if I am using the M1 version of a program and not the Intel version?
It's a free, open-source utility that someone has generously released to the public. I find it useful. I often install and run lots of different apps and open-source things, and sometimes it's convenient to be able to just look at an icon in the menu bar to confirm whether something is running under Rosetta or not. Other people find it useful too. Just because you don't have a use for it, doesn't mean nobody else in the world does either.

Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?
> Curious to see what, if anything, is running under translation
There's a useful app called Silicon Info on Github (https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info) and also on the Mac App Store.
It adds a menu bar icon that switches according to the currently-focused app's architecture.

Welcome new Apple Silicon users! Check out my (tiny) menu bar app that displays if a running application is optimized for ARM
Of course, it is free and open source (check out the code on Github!).

Common Questions about Apple Silicon - Does It ARM
If you already own an Apple Silicon Mac and want to know which apps are running natively as opposed to via Rosetta 2 translation, you can download Silicon Info and see a report of the apps

Intel or Apple. Discover it directly using your MenuBar
I'm not sure OP is the developer, but moreso someone trying to just share.. mac app news. I feel the picture and description is self explanatory if you have one, but the full github release is here: https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info

Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
I recommend having a look at [1] which allows you to run lightweight alpine VMs on MacOS with easy port forwarding, file sharing, and you can easily run docker inside of it and use docker context to target it.

Lightweight Alpine VMs on macOS
I don't see the point of a dedicated tool for this when it is easy enough just to start a Alpine docker container with a couple commands. As this project is just a wrapper for docker and LXD[1] and those tools are already easy enough for the average SWE to interact with, the project seems to just over-complicate an already existing workflow.

LXD containers on macOS at near-native speeds
It uses almost same mounting tech as colima (9p)
Macpine: https://github.com/beringresearch/macpine/blob/71788e9c3c09c...
colima: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/7ebcf14a69158afa43b2...
So it seems that it has same performance as colima project as well.
As for IO performance, see this colima issue https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/issues/146#issuecomment-1...
