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.

Moreutils: A collection of Unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago
mv can't, or, more correctly the rename system call can not.
rename is an atomic operation from any modern filesystem's perspective, you're not writing new data, you're simply changing the name of the existing file, it either succeeds or fails.
Keep in mind that if you're doing this, mv (the command line tool) as opposed to the `rename` system call, falls back to copying if the source and destination files are on different filesystems since you can not really mv a file across filesystems!
In order to have truly atomic writes you need to:
open a new file on the same filesystem as your destination file
write contents
call fsync
call rename
call sync (if you care about the file rename itself never being reverted).
This is some very naive golang code (from when I barely new golang) for doing this which has been running in production since I wrote it without a single issue: https://github.com/AdamJacobMuller/atomicxt/blob/master/file...

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
