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.

Should atomics be unsafe?
Historically, such serious bugs get communicated broadly and addressed very quickly via security advisory blog posts and on https://rustsec.org.

The first issue of Rust Magazine has been published ๐๐
This font gets double-bolded :D โ Alfa Slab One is already bold, and then font-weight: 800 makes the browser "bold it even more". Rust blog also had the same issue. So instead of dimming the font-weight of titles, you should instead just tell the browser that Alfa Slab One is already bold:

Indeed! Thanks for pointing this out, I just opened a PR to mention the additional mitigation.

Announcing Rust 1.66.0
You're correct that there's currently no language-level way to get at the raw discriminant in this case, you need to use unsafe and inspect the discriminant directly. I agree that the blog post should mention this limitation, here's a PR to fix it: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1056

Can someone recommend good blogs about Rust?
The official Rust blogs are actually pretty good: https://blog.rust-lang.org/

About political messages on the Rust blog.
Note that "separate" is not obviously correct to me. The statement about Iran was added to the release announcement via discussion from the "leadership chat,", and my understanding is that the leadership chat contains "project directors on the Rust Foundation board".

Rust 1.65.0
As a Rust team member, I have no earthly clue. Maybe it's the Core team? Or the blog author? Or the release team? Also no clue whatsoever as to the process for determining which cause to promote or even which causes are not allowed to be promoted (if any?).
The blog is on github, and this is the commit that added it: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1043/co...
What is the "leadership chat"? See: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/10/06/governance...
(I had thought the "leadership chat" was supposed to be a temporary group working to resolve a governance problem precipitated by the mod team resignation last year (of which I was a member), but it appears to be a decision making body at this point.)

Announcing Rust 1.65.0
No, I don't think so. And as far as I can tell, this wasn't made by the release team, but by the leadership chat.

[Media] I'm comparing writing a double-linked list in C++ vs with Rust. The Rust implementation looks substantially more complex. Is this a bad example? (URL in the caption)
itโs even written by the same person that wrote the Nomicon (the guide to the dark arts of unsafe)

Rust books to read
If you want to dive deeper you can always have other options but now there are concrete cases, if you want to do low level thing https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ while if you want multi thread/concurrency stuff https://marabos.nl/atomics/ . There are many many books so you will have to point yourself to what you want

Hope this helps. For more details, see the Rustonomicon. I referenced the subtyping chapter here extensively.

Unsafe Rust
Nice video! Glad I could help out. This stuff is hard, and I'm still learning a lot about it myself even years later. The Rustonomicon is a great read if you haven't already.

CppCon 2022 Best Practices Every C++ Programmer Needs to Follow โ Oz Syed
That is not what UB means. Undefined Behaviour is behaviour that the compiler is allowed to assume will never happen, and which can consequently cause miscompilations due to optimisation passes gone wrong if it does in fact occur in the source code.
It's true that Rust does not have a written specification that clearly delineates what is and isn't UB in a single place. But:
1. UB is impossible in safe code (modulo bugs in unsafe code)
2. There are resources such as the Rustinomicon (https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/) that provide a detailed guide on what is and isn't allowed in unsafe code.
In practice, it's much easier to avoid UB in Rust than it is in C++.

How to write deserializer for custom binary protocol?
However, this is a wide topic out of scope for a Reddit comment, so maybe just read the Rustonomicon. It explains everything about data handling in Rust.

Performance critical ML: How viable is Rust as an alternative to C++
The ownership model & borrow checker makes rust a bit of an awkward language in which to write complex data structures like trees and graphs. It can be done - since you can always use raw pointers & unsafe code when you absolutely need to to treat rust like C. But the language fights you, and the community can get a bit moralistic about this sort of thing. The rust nomicon is a fantastic resource for learning the limits of the borrow checker, and where and how to use unsafe code correctly. You will need unsafe less than you think you will, but sometimes you will have no choice.
