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.

Looking for programmer volunteers who want to contribute/learn about low level C++, Linux, Networking, high frequency trading.
Amazon (AWS) cloud EC2 instance specific role (Kernel and User space networking, linux OS related). Amazon has it's own network card with it's own linux driver (open source), for user space they use DPDK (open source). https://github.com/amzn/amzn-drivers I've measured the time between calling tcp send in software, and packet leaving the NIC (network card), it is around ~50 microseconds latency, aws also stated in a paper it is around that number. Goals:- Figure out the way to build from source code and load the kernel.- Reduce latency

FreeBSD optimizations used by Netflix to serve video at 800Gb/s [pdf]
It means, for example, writing a FreeBSD kernel driver for Elastic Network Adapter (ENA). Both Linux kernel driver and FreeBSD kernel driver is available at https://github.com/amzn/amzn-drivers

Dragonflydb – A modern replacement for Redis and Memcached
Of course, there are.
I was mostly running on AWS. In terms of hardware, for small packets loadtests most systems are constrained on throughput, i.e. number of packets per second. Some systems saturate on interrupts reaching 100% CPU on all cores and some can not even saturate the CPU and you will see that CPU is at 60% but you can not go beyond some limit. Best systems networkwise are c6gn family types. They are also better than other cloud provide. btw, you mentioned hypervisors... About 8 months ago I opened a bug on AWS Graviton team https://github.com/amzn/amzn-drivers/issues/195 - about performance issue they had on their instances at high throughput. Recently they issued the fix. I suspect it was in their hypervisor.
In terms of my software I found many performance bugs at those speeds. For example, using a default allocator is a big no. I use mimalloc for uncontended allocations. In general, you can not use mutexes and spinlocks at those speeds. Those will just cripple the system. Sometimes it can be very annoying since you can not rely on a 3rd party library without carefully analyzing its design. For example, I could not use openmetrics c++ library because it was not performant enough. Even to implement a simple counter, say to gather statistics for INFO command becomes an interesting engineering problem:

Ask HN: Anybody enabled IOMMU on AWS metal servers?
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/ena.html
and:
https://github.com/amzn/amzn-drivers/tree/master/userspace/dpdk/enav2-vfio-patch
Enabling IOMMU on i3 or c5 metal instances is as easy as adding "iommu=1 intel_iommu=on" to /etc/default/grub followed by update-grub, reboot.
I can't get this to work. Everything I update grub and reboot I cannot re-connected via ssh. Also EC2 console fails to get good status.
My config:
Ubuntu 20.04 stock AWS AMI x86 64-bit

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650
This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html
Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

I hate Rust (programming language)
> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.
Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.
To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/
