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.

Netlink Added to FreeBSD – Unmodified Linux IP(8) Correctly Works
FreeBSD related shameless plug: https://github.com/tux2bsd/freebsd-update-probe
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).

Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is also attractive and interesting. Fish is friendly.
However, I still believe that posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua.

Shh: Simple Shell Scripting from Haskell
Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience?
It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands.
I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a way that leverages the type checker.

Marcel the Shell
In that case, is it even more similar to xonsh?
