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.

WebAssembly
A few wasm projects I've worked on:
- An in-browser crossword puzzle generator: https://crossword.paulbutler.org/ (source: https://github.com/paulgb/crossword-composer)
- A multi-player word game: https://redwords.paulbutler.org/
- A library for synchronizing state between clients, used for that word game: https://aper.dev/ (source: https://github.com/aper-dev/aper very WIP right now)
In my experience, the single biggest perk of using WebAssembly is that I can use a language I'm very productive in (Rust) compared to JavaScript. Everything else is secondary. That said, I think these projects have specific advantages by virtue of being WebAssembly:
- The backtracking search used for the crossword puzzle generator is carefully implemented to not allocate extra memory. This would be tough to do in JavaScript, and I believe it's partly responsible for its performance.
- The word game uses a compression algorithm that benefits very noticeably from wasm-opt, to the point that I can't run it without it. Given that wasm-opt takes a non-trivial amount of time at compile time, I suspect the JavaScript JIT would be slow at doing something similar at runtime. This is just conjecture, I haven't checked.
- What Aper does just wouldn't be possible without Rust features like Serde and macros.

can't use WSL2 despite virtualization and Windows machine platform feature enabled, and error message says thye're not.
I have found some documentation here https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/536 and here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq#will-i-be-able-to-run-wsl-2-and-other-3rd-party-virtualization-tools-such-as-vmware--or-VirtualBox and intend to read them fully including the links inside them tomorrow or the day after when I have time.

There are literally no reasons to choose an iPhone over an Android smartphone
Off the top of my head was this bug that caused a lot of people using vbox to swap to vmware. Just a bunch of really annoying compatibility bugs that made it a nightmare if you were trying to use it like a native linux instance.

Is Microsoft's CBL-Mariner Going to Become Microsoft Linux?
>and I’m almost certain that when you run multiple wsl distros they are all in one VM, though that may be wrong
Yes, they run as containers.
From https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/1573#issuecommen...:
WSL distributions (instances) are not VMs. They are best described as "containers" running inside the WSL2 VM. Each WSL2 distribution/instance has its own isolated:

(As I've understood, Hyper-V Management Tools should not be needed when using WSL2, based on: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/899)
