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.

does math.randomseed() let you use letters, or only numbers?
Very fast with security guarantees. These are faster than full cryptographic hashes and fulfill some but not all of the security guarantees. That's not to say that they're weaker, but that they're designed for certain usecases where they are perfectly adequate and others where they fail miserably. Example: SipHash2-4 https://github.com/veorq/SipHash

Implementing Hash Tables in C
Note that if you have untrusted input, you may want to use a defensive option for hashing involving a private key, such as SipHash[1]. Otherwise, an attacker who knows your hash functions can just pre-generate a large number of colliding elements and reduce your hash function to a linked list; given enough attacker-controlled elements, this can effectively amount to a DoS attack[2].

Getting unique items from a list. Why do they come out in a random order?
Sets are internally ordered by items' hash (rather, the first few bits of it, depending on the # of elements in the set), and strings are hashed with a pseudorandom algorithm.
