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.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:

This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html
Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

I hate Rust (programming language)
> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.
Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.
To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/
