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.

GOTOphobia Considered Harmful (In C)
The state machine example is definitely a very fitting use of goto, but it reminds me of another thing that seems to have become a rare skill but is very useful: flowcharting. Besides making people comfortable with goto in general, it also helps visualise control flow in ways that a lot of programmers these days don't realise, and it's unfortunate that a lot of courses seem to have omitted its teaching.
Also worth reading is "GOTO Considered Harmful Considered Harmful": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11056434
And here Microsoft provides us with lovely example of such ridiculous nesting.
That's a very memorable example, but ultimately the true cause of that monstrosity is a clearly stupid API design; this is the API for a file picker, the recommended replacement for an existing one that they wanted to deprecate. In the existing one, you fill in a structure and call a single function with a pointer to it. In its replacement, you need to call a dozen methods on an object, and check for "possible" errors on each call, even if probably 99% of them only do things like assign to a field in a now-opaque structure and can never produce an error. Then the example code must've been edited by someone with severe gotophobia. (Not all MS code is like that --- they have plenty of other example code that uses goto, e.g.: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/blob/mai... )

Installing avssamp virtual camera driver in Windows 10
The source code for the sample can be found here. Check this code out to a local folder and use the included visual studio solution to open it up. You should be able to build this code as is; if it's telling you that you need spectre mitigated libraries to build it you can either acquire those via the visual studio installer or go to Project Properties > C++ > Code Generation > Spectre Mitigation and select disabled (I have it enabled so disabling it could cause issues, probably not though).

Question about Windows Drivers
Given that they're essential and worth about $1.8 million, then, it sounds like the proper solution would be to argue for the budget to engage a developer to write, test and sign a replacement driver. (Especially since the Intel 82930 USB test board is literally used by Microsoft as an archetypal example device in USB driver development documentation.)

Has anyone gotten Pulseaudio to work on macOS Catalina for mixing audio into the microphone?
Maybe corresponding Windows API? https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/audio/simpleaudiosample and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/getting-started-with-wdm-audio-drivers.

A GPIO Driver in Rust
Well yes. But Linus is right on that one.
I wouldn't say Windows drivers were C++, more like "C with Classes" (and maybe a little bit C++)
Also, Windows drivers are usually much more convoluted than Linux drivers https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples

Show HN: Another way to use an old tablet as an extra screen
I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

What’s better for modelling, a tablet or computer?
Can't speak for modelling on Blender itself but, I have https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus setup up on my linux desktop to draw the 2D animation frames for my game using OpenToonz and an old Android 10 tablet with stylus for input.

10.3 performance with pdfs and scientific papers vs 13.3
You can also use a software called weylus, to use the tablet as "writing pad" during online discussions/lectures, it works quite well although still prefer my wacom one tablet for that.

App for Screen Mirroring?
Any of the scrcpy GUIs like QtScrcpy let you mirror your Android device onto the PC and also control it from there if you enable the option, otherwise you can do the opposite with Weylus, so you mirror your PC's screen to the tablet and then you can draw from it with either your fingers or a pen, with pen pressure supported as well, which I find pretty amazing!

Tips & Tricks for Productivity with BOOX (Obsidian, Syncthing, Weylus, RustDesk, Termux, KDE Connect, ZeroTier) + 2 Bonus Screensavers
Weylus can turn your BOOX device into a wireless graphic (wacom) tablet with a live video feed while supporting all the pressure sensitivity levels of the stylus. I’ve used it for drawing inside Krita (example shown below) and also sculpting inside Blender (Krita and Blender running on my laptop). I think it is very simple to set up - I just start Weylus on my laptop and then connect my Tab Ultra via a web browser. The input latency on the laptop screen is low, but the live video feed from a laptop on the tablet is quite a bit worse because of the screen technology, but it is still usable in one of the fast modes (and the laptop screen is right next to me, so lower quality of video feed is not a big deal). It is possible to disable this live feed and just use it with a black background like most graphic tablets - but I quite like to see the same canvas also on my tablet.
