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 .

Carapace: A multi-shell completion library and binary
Beyond zprof (https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/zsh-profiling) not really I'm afraid. I did the majority of my zsh-prompt hacking 10 years ago and haven't thought about it since. That snippet could be from anywhere.
You could peek at something like zprezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto or pure https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure for tips.
Fetching git/hg/... info is always slow, so try and speed that up where you can (as to how to do that, uhh... I know my prompt has a dirty-state check nicked from pure for speed reasons). You can also cache any `asdf init zsh` or similar to a file and do the same "run in background" trick so the next shell will have any changes.
The biggest improvement I can remember was dropping zprezto for my own much smaller config, I really did not need much comparatively. Mostly some git info and "good default" options. I use zgenom for a plugin manager but only have 3 plugins, probably I should just dump it and inline the plugins to avoid getting owned one day.

I think Linux might be the superior platform for gaming at this point.
Is the command line really so scary? I enjoy using it from time-to-time (usually not for gaming related reasons) and I like things like Prezto to make it look pretty.

Best terminal app for MacOs
I switched from Oh My Zsh to Prezto years ago. OMZ at the time was excruciatingly slow, but that may have changed. Maybe I should take another look at it, but Prezto has been great.

I was frustrated with the way Windows handles Hebrew on Latin keyboards, so I wrote an open-source IME for Hebrew to make it easier! You download it, type in the phonetics, and it gives you the Hebrew.
I installed iTerm2 and zsh shell with Prezto and I love my command line on OSX I use homebrew to install any tools that are missing and use pyenv to manage my python version (which I also do on Linux) that and the clang/gcc from the OSX command line tools and I pretty much have a full Un*x shell for anything I need to do

Reasons to change the default terminal to Warp
Moreover, there are tools were made on top of those to provide more functionalities, and fill some of the gaps, for instance, oh-my-zsh, Prezto, oh-my-fish, and much more. However, the default embedded terminal in macOS is still lacking something. That's why iTerm and other terminal like Hyper. It provides you a set of customization to boost your productivity.

How do I move git branch from right side to inside the prompt in prezto?
See terminal below. On the left side is my prompt, and on the right side is information I presume came from the git module in prezto.

Master any CLI tool with this one weird trick
I recently heard about prezto which is a fork of ohmyzsh but haven't tried it yet (most of the plugins I use are in ohmyzsh) it is more customizable and less bloated than ohmyzsh.

Choosing ZSH framework
If you want to try a different preconfigured shell environment, big names are Prezto and zsh4humans. Prezto, like OMZ, comes with a plugin manager built in; zsh4humans does not.
What are some alternatives?
IKEv2-setup - Set up Ubuntu Server 20.04 (or 18.04) as an IKEv2 VPN server
zimfw - Zim: Modular, customizable, and blazing fast Zsh framework
dtrx - Do The Right Extraction
oh-my-zsh - 🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 1700+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes nearly 300 optional plugins (rails, git, OSX, hub, capistrano, brew, ant, php, python, etc), over 140 themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
