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.

Getaddrinfo() on glibc calls getenv(), oh boy
The problem is that this effects higher languages too, because they often build on libc. And on some OSes, they don't have a choice, because the system call interface is unstable and/or undocumented).
For example in rust, multiple time libraries were found to be unsound if `std::env::set_env` was ever called from a multi-threaded program. See:

ZeroVer: 0-Based Versioning
> I think library authors should be more relentless and break compatibility every few years. We just need some conventions to not do so very often.
I indeed did this years ago---I'm the original author of Chrono [1]---and it wasn't well received [2] [3] [4]. To be fair, I knew it was a clear violation of semantic versioning but I didn't see any point of obeying that until we've reached 1.0 so I went ahead. People complained a lot and I had to yank the problematic release. By then I realized many enough people religiously expect semantic versioning (for good reasons though) and it's wiser to avoid useless conflict.

Simple, fast and safety alternative for unzip
On that note, it would also be good to configure cargo-deny so that a CI pipeline and any maintainer can easily audit the current dependency versions. Sometimes CVEs require a new major semver (looking at you, time 0.1.x and thus chrono 0.4.x), so it's not enough to rely on people installing the tool with semver-compatible updates. Automatically auditing dependencies is really important, and given how easy cargo-deny makes it, I don't think many projects have any excuse not to configure it.

Is it unidiomatic/anti-pattern to use the return keyword ?
The example has been randomly taken from the [Chrono][https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/blob/main/src/offset/utc.rs] crate.

Will Rust drop dependency on libc and make direct system calls? when ? (Please don't mention no_std case)
libc isn't "just a wrapper". Is a massive legacy codebase filled with hacks, UBs and bugs: https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/499

Video stops on furst frame, audio continues to play,seek works
I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Author of ripgrep here.
Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?
Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.
Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.
Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.
ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:
* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)
* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.
Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
