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.

- Tidal Cycles – Live coding music with Algorithmic patterns
- I made a command-line tool to assist me with writing polyrhythmic drum parts

13 Years of History Teaching - Now Thrown Into CS.
So you’re wondering what would making music with code look like? The tools I’m familiar with are TidalCycles, Sonic Pi, and SuperCollider. I’m having a hard time describing what it’s like to make music with tools like these so here’s a video of a performance. One person is live coding the music and the other is live coding the visuals. I think it’s super cool how the music is improvised and built over time by layering commands. Some keywords you could search to see more examples would be Algorave and Livecoding.

Where is Haskell used?
https://tidalcycles.org/ is another great example, parsing patterns of text and printing live music.
-
Live coding languages
For sound live coding/algorave sonic pi and tidal cycles are great, both based on supercollider.

Sonic Pi – The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone
I don't know the alternatives but I'm a big fan of https://tidalcycles.org/. People really do crazy things, check out the videos on the front page.
I love when 2 DJs live-code together (on the same document! Editing each other's loops) or when a VJ live-codes some visuals in reaction to the DJ live-coding the music.

What is a little known subject/application/problem that you learned about recently or are involved in that you think is fascinating?
If you're interested in ChuCK, there's also Pure Data (a FOSS cousin of the commercial Max/MSP) and SuperCollider and a lot of live coding algorave sorta music things are built on top of SuperCollider like TidalCycles so you can execute lines of code live via a REPL or evaluating blocks of code in a document and generate beats in realtime.

The Way in Which Brian Eno Created Ambient 1: Music for Airports
Tidal Cycles! https://tidalcycles.org/
As layer8 mentioned, it is technically Haskell but more specifically a DSL and environment for live coding music.
Pretty fun to play around with!

How would someone who is deathly broke become a serious rapper?
After digging deeper, I've found TidalCycles tidalcycles.org and that's my favorite Livecoding software. Now you can start programming music without any cost.

Formalizing Konnakol using Haskell - GSoC '22
The code written in this regard can be found here. My contributions focused on designing, implementing and integrating the Sequence module with the help of the Context module.

What are your favorite End-to-End encrypted tools for online privacy?
For messaging I'm currently on Olvid (E2E with physical key exchange) but since it still use their servers, I'm currently testing SimpleX where I can host my own servers.

Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users
Notice how SimpleX (https://simplex.chat/) has no push notifications by default because of this issue.

SMS Security and Privacy Gaps
I've been using SimpleX [0] with a couple of friends recently. It appears to work as advertised.

U.K. Abandons, for Now, Legislation That Would Have Banned End-to-End Encryption
If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.
Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.
