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.

iOS404
You can check why Mozilla and Apple have opted to not support this.
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/154
https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/28
Neither Mozilla or Webkit are satisfied that the proposal is safe by default, and contains footguns for the user that can be pretty destructive.

Show HN: Tiniest Web Component
Nope, was marked as WONTFIX: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182671
There was some more discussion in the webkit standards but looks like the answer is still unchanged: https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/97

The web just gets better with Interop 2024
The new scrollbar styling properties are actually pretty consistent with native platforms. There's not that much flexibility with them - e.g. you can't define width in pixels, you just chose between thick, thin, or none, which match the existing native controls:
https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/133#iss...
> To add more information to this issue. This property supports three values, auto, thin and none. These match nicely to WebKit's ScrollbarControlSize::Regular and ScrollbarControlSize::Thin and not rendering the scrollbar.

Mozilla thinks Apple, Google, Microsoft should play fair
Apple puts their policy positions on GitHub too. It's just where this is done for some reason: https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
