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.

C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
brew install --cask xquartz
Or install from the project homepage [1]. Then just launch the X11 app. Note that it does require the application to be built for Mac - it’s not an emulator, just an implementation of the X11 APIs.

Understanding Keyboard Events Better
I’ve recently spent some time working with terminal emulators in raw mode on macOS. While I chose to handle key events using escape codes, and found it seriously difficult (even gave up) to process the shift modifier key. However, I came across xquartz [1], which seems to do similar things as mentioned in the article. Would detecting shift key state have been trivial using such a library?

Audacity 3.4 – New Musical Features
The contents are rendered through gtk/cairo which not only goes through https://www.xquartz.org/ but also doesn't use GPU rendering (it was experimental 3 years ago, maybe better now). The main issue seems to be that neither Inkscape nor gtk people have much low level Darwin experts or time available to invest in debugging the whole rendering stack. See for example https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1614 and all the other referenced issues for all the gory details.

ksh88 string substitution in alias | mpv streaming
I live in a mezzanine studio using a M1 macbook for a workstation (writing/editing) and my old laptop with openbsd as a local server. I play music from that obsd server upstairs, which thus fills the whole room down to my desktop through the plugged-in speakers. My hosted library plays fine with mpd and ncmpcpp, and I just figured out it's not so difficult to use mpv to play streamed youtube videos, since firefox in XQuartz streaming from xenocara is way too slow anyhow.

Back to Emacs - I have some questions
There is an alternative: I ended up using Xquartz to give me an X11 environment and then running StumpWM as my tiling window manager. I used this for all my productive stuff, running full screen in MacOS, then a quick keypress got me back to the Mac environment.
- Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL

Which mac should I get for study?
I also used Xquartz. Emacs was better for me though because capturing text output and documenting what I captured was so much easier than X-window.

Does Wine work on mac at all?
Link
- how to ssh from linux or windows to mac os with x11?
-
Do most people just run zsh, or is it common to switch to bash?
I used a Mac for router software testing for over 20 years. I ran a shell on my mac either through Emacs (on occasion) or X-quartz with terminal connections to a dozen or more routers, linux and or Windows systems. In all that time, I opened the terminal on my mac maybe 5 times.

Audacity 3.4 – New Musical Features
The time stretch algorithm is implemented in https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/libraries/l... particularly functions _time_stretch and _process_hop. It looks to me like a classic phase vocoder with vertical phase coherence (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_vocoder).
The basic idea is this. For a time-stretch factor of, say, 2x, the frequency spectrum of the stretched output at 2 sec should be the same as the frequency spectrum of the unstretched input at 1 sec. The naive algorithm therefore takes a short section of signal at 1s, translates it to 2s and adds it to the result. Unfortunately, this method generates all sorts of unwanted artifacts.
Imagine a pure sine wave. Now take 2 short sections of the wave from 2 random times, overlap them, and add them together. What happens? Well, it depends on the phase of each section. If the sections are out of phase, they cancel on the overlap; if in phase, they constructively interfere.
The phase vocoder is all about overlapping and adding sections together so that the phases of all the different sine waves in the sections line up. Thus, in any phase vocoder algorithm, you will see code that searches for peaks in the spectrum (see _time_stretch code). Each peak is an assumed sine wave, and corresponding peaks in adjacent frames should have their phases match.

If you are able to build from source, you could download the latest source code, or the latest release version source code, and manually apply the patch.

Custom Themes for 3.1+?
FWIW: We'll be ditching the atlases for 3.4 most likely, in favor of having themes work like they do in source anyway: With individual PNGs for the icons and a Colors.txt containing all the color definitions. With that, custom themes would be much easier to author and also would stop breaking every time we introduce a new icon.

Audacity 3.3.1 on Tumbleweed is freaking out
https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/4639 this bug mentions everything, I guess it's Audacity after all. To be fixed in 3.3.2
- Tumbleweed, most Audacity "Generate" functions are broken

One-click monitoring in Audacity 3.3.1?
No there isn't. I searched in vain for a workaround, and then checked the Audacity issues and found this: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/3385
