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.

Curl is now a CVE Numbering Authority
No need to use curl, make HTTP requests great again with https://github.com/ducaale/xh

Why people in Google hate Go?
Except when you actually enjoy things being fast. For example, HTTPie easily adds 0.5-1s delay to every request because it's written in Python, especially on the first invocation. xh (https://github.com/ducaale/xh), on the other hand, starts immediately because it's written in Rust. I very much like this trend.

HTTPie Desktop: cross-platform API testing client for humans
HTTPie is great and was a big improvement for me over cURL.
However, I ended up switching to xh[1] as it's significantly faster and I prefer its output.

Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff
No, but unless portability is a concern or you're massively familiar with curl, you might want to consider xh. It's much more intuitive.

The curl-wget Venn diagram
wget on the other hand, automatically converts the ñ to UTF-8 hex and resolves the link perfectly.
I've searched the curl manpage and couldn't find a way to solve this. Please help.
I'm having to use `xh --curl` [1] to "fix" the links before I pass them to curl.

Get better with Vim one tip at a time
Very nice, you should add xh to the User-Agents though.

I Could Rewrite Curl
While not a rewrite - one recent tool for making http requests which i quite enjoy is:
https://github.com/ducaale/xh
It's basically python httpie rewritten in rust. my only gripe is that i keep forgetting that it exists - and that "xh" is for http and "xhs" is for https.
So i frequently end up with curl anyway:)

Show HN: fcp – A significantly faster alternative to cp(1), written in Rust
Not a question, but I made a similar tool in c++[1], for Linux only using io_uring, and a blog post explaining its internals [2]. I'll definitely have a look some time soon, I'd be interested to see how performance compares (I gathered from some other comments here that you're using blocking io in threads?)

Show HN: Wcp – a reimplementation of cp using io_uring. With a nice progress bar
The chart is over NFS, but the listed speeds in the blog, and on github[1] are from a copy on a local SSD. That is a bit confusing though, maybe I should make it more clear. I used the network copy for ETA calculation because it was an easy way to make the transfer take longer -.if the whole copy is only a few seconds long it's difficult to meaningfully compare ETA estimation accuracy between two approaches. I would like to have more performance data though.

Ask HN: Show me your Half Baked project
Unix cp, but with a proper progress bar, and much faster:

Getting close now but not ready for real use. io_uring is awesome.
