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.

Unit testing for stdout/printf
I am using libcheck to write my unit tests in C. Unfortunately the library doesn't provide an easy way to verify what go written to stdout. I have a function that writes specific character sequences to the terminal using printf. The function doesn't return anything.

A rofi base shortcut helper (use remontoire configuration)
Running ./configure, make and make install inside the rofi-1.6.1 directory should go quite smoothly. If the configure complains that it requires the latest version of "check" (a utility that tests the source code for scripting errors) it can be downloaded from https://github.com/libcheck/check Note that check also has a few dependencies that have to be resolved.

Learning Go by examples: part 6 - Create a gRPC app in Go
Gomega is a Go library that allows you to make assertions. In our example, we check if what we got is null, not null, or equal to an exact value, but the gomega library is much richer than that.

Tips to prevent adoption of your API
Depends on the API and how much testing you need. You want to test your code, not the API's availability or correctness.
But it can be as easy as using a fake http library and mocking the responses, or using a httptest server: https://onsi.github.io/gomega/#ghttp-testing-http-clients
If the API is complicated and you have to write your own fake server, that might not make sense for small projects.

Go generics beyond the playground
If we do the count, we gather that subtest appear to solve five out of the six problems we identified with the assert library. At this point though, it's important to note that at the time when the assert package was designed, the sub-test feature in Go did not yet exist. Therefore it would have been impossible for that library to embed it into it's design. This is also true for when Gomega and Ginko where designed. If these test frameworks where created now, then most likely some parts of their design would have been done differently. What I am trying to say is that with even the slightest change in the Go language and standard library, completely new ways of designing programs become possible. Especially for new packages without any legacy use-cases to consider. And this brings us to generics.
