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.

Carapace: A multi-shell completion library and binary
True, but you can represent that in the db as a a CLI invocation to run in a subshell.
The big gain from something like carapace or my theoretical SQLite-based completion system is faster startup time. I had to remove zsh-completions from my shell setup as it added too much to the startup time (https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/master/zsh/README_no...)

Ravi is a dialect of Lua, with JIT and AOT compilers
"small embeddable dynamic languages" are usually used to configure or program other larger compiled applications. This is bes understood by example:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/scripting/basic-scr... - make a mini game in Roblox
https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module?tab=readme-ov-... - configure and extend NGINX
https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/general.html - make your terminal more useful (my personal config changes the tab color based on the process name - https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/master/wezterm/dot-c...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBr9hwf0BY - configure your text editor

We Have to Start Over: From Atom to Zed
I switched to iTerm2 a few years ago due to blurry fonts on zoom with Terminal.app . Wonder if that's still a problem?
A few months ago I switched to WezTerm and, after some config wrestling, I've been very happy using it (https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/tree/master/wezterm).

Teller: Universal secret manager, never leave your terminal to use secrets
Yes, but it's super awkward to actually use day to day
I've got something of a wrapper script at https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/8573e44d0f9fb5ddcbdc...

Did OpenTelemetry deliver on its promise in 2023?
It doesn't read from files unfortunately, but https://openobserve.ai/ is very easy to set up locally (single binary) and send otel logs/metrics/traces to.
Here's how I run it locally for my little shovel project - https://github.com/bbkane/shovel#run-the-webapp-locally-with... .
Also linked from that README is an Ansible playbook to start OpenObserve as a systems service on a Linux VM.
Alternatively, see the shovel codebase I linked above for a "stdout" TracerProvider. You could do something like that to save to a file, and then use a tool to prettify the JSON. I have a small script to format json logs at https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/2df9af5a9bbb40f2e101...

When I Stopped Trying to Self-Optimize, I Got Better
That sounds super similar my setup ( https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/tree/master/zsh ). I'll check out a few of those I haven't yet.

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
Here's a small script I use often to tag commits with Git.
It shows the current status, lists out the most recent tags, prompts for a new tab and message, and finally pushes.
Everything is colorized so it's easy to read and I use it quite often for Golang projects.

What’s everyone working on this week (including AoC, 51/2021)?
Ooh I'm doing this too, but with Python to add a "category" field (based mostly on description), nushell to munge the CSV into more CSVs so I can build html charts and tables with this script. in my opinion, transforming the two original CSVs (checking account and credit card history) into the html doc with all the charts is best done as this sort of pipeline so you can replace bits as you find better alternatives (for example I started with SQLite instead of nushell for the "child CSV" parts)

The joy of deleting code
I use https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/master/bin_common/bin_common/git_lines_changed_tsv.sh to turn this into a tsv which can then be charted by piping to https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/master/bin_common/bin_common/scatterplot.py .

Home Lab Guide
While no broken out per plug, APC UPS network management cards provide total power output data (current, voltage, frequency, power) via SNMP, which you can log using a wide variety of tools.
And even without external tools, historical power usage logs are available via the APC Web UI.
While I don't currently log anything externally, I use an xbar[1] script[2] to display UPS output current in my Mac menu bar.

App LIST!!!
xbar (Free) xbar is free and open source it allows you to put anything in your macOS menu bar, although the learning cure is high, I would put this in development too..
