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.

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
That’s one of the reasons I made this actually https://github.com/boyter/cs
I wanted and boolean syntax mixed with fzf instant search. It’s not as fast as ripgrep of course but it’s not solving the same problem.
- Sourcegraph is no longer Open Source
- codespelunker
- cs: command line codespelunker or code search written in Go
- codespelunker (cs) A command line search tool. Allows you to search over code or text files in the current directory either on the console, via a TUI or HTTP server, using some boolean queries or regular expressions.

Lmgrep: Lucene-based grep-like utility
Neat. This is similar to a tool I have been working on (but need to finish off) as I saw the same issue.
Except rather than build an index I brute forced the search each time. For most repositories it’s fast enough even with ranking.
https://github.com/boyter/cs For those interested it’s still very WIP with noticeable issues in TUI mode.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
A few things.
An implementation of bitfunnel search in Go which I plan to put into searchcode.com at some point once I get all the issues resolved and if performance is acceptable
A command line search tool which brute forces with search ranking https://github.com/boyter/cs/ mostly for code but works pretty well for other things as well
Atlassian Confluence Cloud plugins. Mostly out of personal interest and because there appears to be a good marketplace to produce mostly passive income there.

Code Search Is Hard
Basic code searching skills seems like something new developers are never explicitly taught, but which is an absolutely crucial skill to build early on.
I guess the knowledge progression I would recommend would look something kind this:
- Learning about Ctrl+F, which works basically everywhere.
- Transitioning to ripgrep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep - I wouldn't even call this optional, it's truly an incredible and very discoverable tool. Requires keeping a terminal open, but that's a good thing for a newbie!
- Optional, but highly recommended: Learning one of the powerhouse command line editors. Teenage me recommended Emacs; current me recommends vanilla vim, purely because some flavor of it is installed almost everywhere. This is so that you can grep around and edit in the same window.
- In the same vein, moving back from ripgrep and learning about good old fashioned grep, with a few flags rg uses by default: `grep -r` for recursive search, `grep -ri` for case insensitive recursive search, and `grep -ril` for case insensitive recursive "just show me which files this string is found in" search. Some others too, season to taste.
- Finally hitting the wall with what ripgrep can do for you and switching to an actual indexed, dedicated code search tool.

Modern Java/JVM Build Practices
The world has moved on though to opinionated tools, and Rust isn't even the furthest in that direction (That would be Go). The equivalent of those two lines in Cargo.toml would be this example of a basic configuration from the jacoco-maven-plugin: https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom.x... - That's 40 lines in the section to do the "defaults".
Yes, you could add a load of config for files to include/exclude from coverage and so on, but the idea that that's a norm is way more common in Java projects than other languages. Like here's some example Cargo.toml files from complicated Rust projects:
Servo: https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/main/Cargo.toml
rust-gdext: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext/blob/master/godot-core/C...
ripgrep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/Cargo.toml
socketio: https://github.com/1c3t3a/rust-socketio/blob/main/socketio/C...

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
I'm not clear on why you're seeing the results you are. It could be because your haystack is so small that you're mostly just measuring noise. ripgrep 14 did introduce some optimizations in workloads like this by reducing match overhead, but I don't think it's anything huge in this case. (And I just tried ripgrep 13 on the same commands above and the timings are similar if a tiny bit slower.)
