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.

Ask HN: What's Your Proudest Hack?
https://github.com/tux2bsd/freebsd-update-probe
freebsd-update is broken, it does internal spaghetti which prevents it from doing the most logical thing first: "check upstream for updates"
I created a work around, it works well.
I don't use FreeBSD, but it's good for a hobby OS. Has a few cool ways to do things (seperation of OS vs external software & /etc/rc.conf). The project is coasting on ZFS success.
They HATE me at the FreeBSD Forums. I don't think a single one of them truly understood what freebsd-update-probe actually achieved.
I'm not a programmer.

It makes the update process efficient like it should have been (when there are no updates).

Technical reasons to choose FreeBSD over GNU/Linux
I gave FreeBSD a try:
I provided a workaround for a problem with freebsd-update, summary and tool can found here: https://github.com/tux2bsd/freebsd-update-probe
FreeBSD separation of OS vs other applications is great.
FreeBSD pioneered ZFS integration but are coasting on that success.
The FreeBSD forums, linked from the FreeBSD website are insular. FreeBSD zealots LARPing as the true "true" BSD / Unix enthusiasts.
If you want to try FreeBSD just use the Handbook. The FreeBSD community is childish and won't list that FreeBSD can run on KVM (the mere fact it can, I'm not talking in depth instructions).

The temptation of writing shell scripts, illustrated
I loathe nearly all man pages, they are written in a manner that is as over the top and an absolute chore to digest. I believe it is a form on programmer one-upmanship, it is largely unnecessary and stalls common usage massively.
I made this recently and tried very hard to make it so that the vast majority of people that could use the command line could grasp what it did, usage is trivial:

I guess what I'm saying is I like documentation written for humans (which you do).

gtk-rs: can't get window ID with command inside connect_show or connect_realize
In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
Eventually, I needed to find the ID of windows, move them, and bring them to the front—I realized I couldn't do that with gtk-rs. I needed to interact with the window manager (X11 server). So from inside my application, I ran commands that called xdotool.

I cannot take it any longer, please, help!
You might be able to use audacity in the background by setting up an application launcher in the gnome panel that executes xdotool, which can send keyboard signals (like R for record) to running applications: https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool

Ask HN: What's Your Proudest Hack?
I often create screen recordings for my classes, but it's very boring and time consuming. I'm a perfectionist, and if I mistype a command I prefer to re-record everything. Moreover, every time one of the tools used in the videos gets a significant update, I feel compelled to redo the video.
I have started using xdotool [1] to create bash scripts that send mouse clicks and keystrokes to apps. Interleaving calls to xdotool with the "sleep" command [2] produce a convincing effect. If I need to redo a video to fix typos or after a program update, I just fix the bash script and restart the recording.
Alas, the only thing that is missing in my videos is the sound of keyboard clicks… But nothing is perfect!
