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.

Show HN: I built a transit travel time map
Super awesome! I like how you just color roads to show time. When you calculate polygons to try and cover the whole area in some 5-10 minute bucket, you can wind up with all sorts of odd holes far away from roads. Keep it simple.

Egregoria is a city simulation with high granularity

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2022)
Active Travel England | Software Developers and Data Engineer | Full or Part Time | https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/active-travel-en...
Active Travel England will be developing tools to support evidence-based investment and policies to support sustainable transport. We're hiring 3 roles at present (there will be more jobs in January): https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?SI...
We are already working with the transport simulation and scenario development tool A/B Street and the Low Traffic Neighbourhood design tool: https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/ and plan to create new web applications to transform active travel infrastructure design, monitoring and evaluation.
An exciting thing about these jobs from a software engineering perspective is that you will be starting with a relatively blank slate. In the UK we already have tools like https://bikedata.cyclestreets.net and https://www.pct.bike/ but need to go further than this. Long term, the 7 strong Data and Digital team that you will be part of will develop a comprehensive map based design support tool to provide data of the type in BikeData (and more datasets), drawing tools, and automated assessment of proposed interventions.
These opportunities will enable you to shape the future of tools for active travel investment and policy in England and, because the software develop as part of these roles will be open source, beyond.
These high profile jobs will have a large impact, see here for context: https://twitter.com/Chris_Boardman/status/159648662743800217...

34 extremely good websites(to have fun) that most people probably don't know about - dancing robots you can fling, 180 websites in 180 days, hot or not for generative art, draw auroras
https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet - project to plan, simulate, and communicate visions for making cities friendlier to people walking, biking, and taking public transit.

Transit route mapping
I've not heard about remix before, but some of its functionality seems similar to A/B Street which is aimed at comparing the effects of proposed changes on city traffic.

GitHub actions for my project to automatically compile for Linux/Windows and create Windows-installer.
Thanks for sharing! Are you signing the Windows executable to get rid of "unverified developer" warnings? Inno lists signing as a feature, but I've yet to come across a simple guide on how to build and sign Rust binaries using Github actions. (Some references here])

Are there any big projects written in Rust without any use of unsafe code?
A/B Street, which comprises a UI library, lots of data import pipelines, and traffic simulation. 100k LoC, the only unafe is to make system calls through glow

Prettymaps: Small Python library to draw customized maps from OpenStreetMap data
Especially if you're trying to clip your entire map to some boundary, rendering the ocean is hard. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/issues/32 has some examples of "flooded" maps when the heuristics get the inversion wrong. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/blob/9761373c4b215485... is my incomplete attempt to deal with these partial multipolygons.

Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps
I think the idea of Framework is really good, but static data limits the applications, excluding monitoring and other cases in which the data is constantly changing, but the dashboard can stay as it is. For example, I'd love to see a revamped Framework version of the LHC beam monitor and related pages (see https://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/vistar/, but check again in 2 months or so, when the accelerator will be running).
In high-energy physics, ROOT is /the/ toolkit for data analysis, and I guess jsROOT (https://root.cern.ch/js/) could also be used to load data to be shown in Framework dashboards. I thought the idea of Framework as a blogging engine with powerful data visualization built-in could be very interesting. Think, for example, about physicists pulling open data (https://opendata.cern.ch) and writing about their analysis or someone pulling data from https://ourworldindata.org/ in their own visualizations to support their case while writing about a particular subject, etc.

vavle should just hire cryoByte33 at this point
Maybe I am putting too much energy into a comment you didn't really think about much, but "humans don't tend to be helpful" is really not accurate. If you disagree, please read some stats about the state of the world and try to draw conclusions from those. News is incentivized to paint a (misleadingly) grim picture.

Study: Soaring Excess Deaths Linked to High Vaccination Rates
Anyway since you say 200 countries sing the same tune, I guess we can then take the data from https://ourworldindata.org/ for all 220 countries that have data on for example total deaths per million and total vaccine doses per million and we should clearly see a negative correlation between deaths and vaccinations across countries, scaling for population. Yes?

Global warming above 2°C: How concerned should we be?
I had a more elaborate answer, but my Firefox crashed, so here's the short version: I don't think anybody can predict what the exact chance of humanity collapsing is. We don't really have anything to base this on. However, recent years have made me more optimistic again, as we have seen important trends in the right direction. For example, coal usage has peaked some years ago, renewables are not almost always cheaper than fossil fuels. Climate change is taking more and more seriously in politics. Is that enough? I don't know, but at least we finally started moving in the right direction. If you are not aware of it, I recommend "Our World in Data": https://ourworldindata.org/ They have nicely summarized much of this.
