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.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
One of the things that stifles openness is noise. Sifting through our public repos, some are very obviously redundant and just distracting. So we started by archiving a whole bunch of them - over half, in fact. We wrote some Google Apps Script in a spreadsheet to import and analyze the state of all our public repos:

Ask HN: Should I move away from JavaScript based skillset because of saturation?
I am not a JS developer, but in some tech areas there are niches with relatively fewer developers competing for the same position.
I don't know if this is actually a niche, but since I don't see it mentioned frequently on HN, perhaps you could have a look at Google Apps Script [0], which is basically JS for automating and extending Google Docs (Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides), and integrating them into GCP. Tons of companies have whole departments living inside Google Docs, so I imagine they would pay for software making their lives easier. I would but I currently don't have the budget for it, so I am writing short scripts myself. Curiously, Bard and ChatGPT produce really bad Apps Scripts code, which would be to your advantage.
When I occasionally hire people, I do look at their repos to see how good they are in a specific language. Specifically, how easy to follow and idiomatic their code is, what the quality of their comments and documentation is, are there any tests, even if very rudimentary. I particularly enjoy original projects like home automation, custom keyboard firmware, an alternative Netflix UI, a ggplot extension, a basic Python wrapper for some overly-complicated API vs. your typical to-do app or yet another analysis of the Bike Sharing dataset. I don't expect all people to have public repos or FLOSS contributions because not everyone has the time for that. However, if you wanted to demonstrate skills in a technology you haven't used professionally, I think it is a good idea.

Apps Script function frequency and quotas
I have a function in Apps Script that returns the Document Position, and I currently have it set to be called every second. However, I'm concerned about potential limitations or quotas that I might reach by making such frequent function calls. I got the idea from their own samples.

Google Calendar add-on: Emotify Events
Since a few years I had a Google Apps Script that prefixed some events in my calendar with an emoji. This helps me spot certain events or categories of events. This blogpost explains very well why I like to add emoji's to my calendar events.

Ask HN: What does everyone like for all-purpose business process platforms?
From my current employer I discovered that you can get surprisingly high mileage with spreadsheets and a little bit of scripting.
My employer uses Google Sheets with app scripts [1].
It automatically reads emails, updates a bunch of spreadsheets, makes other API calls, creates entire report documents etc.
The initial setup might take a while though.

Coding Class for Pre-teen?
I have completed https://grasshopper.app entirely with no prior knowledge of coding. It is very hands on easy to follow. There is more doing coding than reading and each question has a walkthrough available. It is by Google and directs you too Google's own coding platform when you finish. It covers the basics of coding, automation, HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Google's AppScript that work with apps like Google Drive and Sheets. Each course has a PDF certificate of completion. (Last I checked the app was bricked and suggested using the webpage until they figured out the bug with the new operating system.)

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Dear writers: Delete your Findaway Voices account NOW
Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.
https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.
Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

[READ BODY TEXT BEFORE VOTING] Thoughts regarding online tracking?
I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo That Tracks Terms of Service Changes
I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org
It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.
