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.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
You can use UI4ETW[0] to capture an event trace when the mouse freezes. You may need to install the Windows SDK or Visual Studio to interpret the results, though.

How to avoid bounds checks in Rust (without unsafe!)
Event Tracing for Windows (WPA/xperf) works quite well for profiling, and it's really easy to set up with UIforETW. Symbol loading works with MSVC-generated symbols (just set the target/debug/ folder as a symbol path), though it's rather slow.

AMD Adrenalin 22.8.2 Released
There's a couple methods to achieve this but I like to recommend this project since it provides an easy to use GUI and (iirc) doesn't require the installation of Windows ADK.

Anyone else has mini stutters since last update even tho ping and packet loss are fine?
If anyone could use UI for ETW (https://github.com/google/UIforETW/releases) to grab an ETL file during the micro-stutters and share it with me, that'd be amazingly helpful. An ETL is like a whole-machine tracefile that'll show exactly what chunk of code is using the time when a stall happens.
-
Micro-stutters started happening about a week ago, Now Dota 2 is basically unplayable for me.
Install UI for ETW (https://github.com/google/UIforETW/releases) and collect an ETL file while the stuttering is happening. Upload them to somewhere and send it to JeffHill once you got them.

Dota2 Bug Tracker
If you capture an ETL file using UI for ETW (https://github.com/google/UIforETW/releases) and link that ETL file in the report, I'm happy to take a look and see what might be going on?

My main account lags in main menu and I created a new account to check it and it doesn't. Can't figure out why. Plays from the same laptop (i5 6th gen, 4gb ram, gpu dead). Lags only in main menu and once I get into the game it's the same.
Could you install UI for ETW and collect an ETL file? https://github.com/google/UIforETW/releases

Anybody else experiencing severe FPS drops ever since the Primal Beast Update?
If you install UI for ETW (https://github.com/google/UIforETW/releases) and capture an ETL trace during gameplay, I'd love to open it with dev tools and find out what's going on! It sounds like you've done all the obvious things, so I'm pretty curious what's actually going on with your system. With a rig like that you should have no problems running Dota at a pretty high frame rate.

Alongside the tinker nerf, techies rework, new maps etc. One thing that we as a community should demand is massive spring cleaning update.
If you're seeing poor performance in Dota, one thing that's incredibly helpful is to install UI for ETW (https://github.com/google/UIforETW/releases) and collect an ETL file during the problem. We can read these files to see which parts of Dota are misbehaving or what else on your system might be interacting with Dota.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
Rust is backwards compatible when you stick to stable features, but the kernel uses unstable features that can and do incur breaking changes.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
> How would this work?
Don't know exactly what you're asking.
> And why would it be a better idea?
Poorly written device drivers are a significant attack vector. It's one of the reasons Linux is now exploring using Rust for its own device drivers.[0] You may be asking -- why Rust and not some other language? Rust has many of the performance and interoperability advantages of C and C++, but as noted, makes certain classes of memory safety issues impossible. Rust also has significant mindshare among systems programming communities.

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
Ctrl-F "rust"
https://rust-for-linux.com/ links to LWN articles at https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Development_tools-Rust that suggest that only basic modules are yet possible with the rust support in Linux kernels 6.2 and 6.3.
Rust-for-linux links to the Android binder module though:
> Android Binder Driver: This project is an effort to rewrite Android's Binder kernel driver in Rust.
> Motivation: Binder is one of the most security and performance critical components of Android. Android isolates apps from each other and the system by assigning each app a unique user ID (UID). This is called "application sandboxing", and is a fundamental tenet of the Android Platform Security Model.
> The majority of inter-process communication (IPC) on Android goes through Binder. Thus, memory unsafety vulnerabilities are especially critical when they happen in the Binder driver
... "Rust in the Linux kernel" (2021) https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-linux-kernel... :
> [...] We also need designs that allow code in the two languages to interact with each other: we're particularly interested in safe, zero-cost abstractions that allow Rust code to use kernel functionality written in C, and how to implement functionality in idiomatic Rust that can be called seamlessly from the C portions of the kernel.
> Since Rust is a new language for the kernel, we also have the opportunity to enforce best practices in terms of documentation and uniformity. For example, we have specific machine-checked requirements around the usage of unsafe code: for every unsafe function, the developer must document the requirements that need to be satisfied by callers to ensure that its usage is safe; additionally, for every call to unsafe functions (or usage of unsafe constructs like dereferencing a raw pointer), the developer must document the justification for why it is safe to do so.
> We'll now show how such a driver would be implemented in Rust, contrasting it with a C implementation. [...]
This guide with unsafe rust that calls into the C, and then with next gen much safer rust right next to it would be a helpful resource too.

how to compile a rust "hello world" with kernel 6.1?
Note that this template won't work with Linux 6.1, which has very minimal Rust support. You'll want the RustForLinux tree, or maybe Linux 6.2.
