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.

Show HN: Numbat – A programming language with physical dimensions as types
Apparently this replaces https://github.com/sharkdp/insect
- Insect – high precision scientific calculator with support for physical units
- The Icculus Microgrant is giving out 250 dollar grants to open source projects, please brag about your project(s) in this thread so I can see them!
-
What projects do you wish there was a self hosted version of
You might like https://insect.sh/ ;)
- Show HN: I made a web-based notepad with a built in unit calculator
-
ka: a calculator language for the command line
For the record I use insect.
-
Looking to build a plugin for logseq. Your problems needed!
https://github.com/sharkdp/insect seems to be somewhat similar, but it's mostly for physical units. However, it's the only opensource one that is embeddable.

Ask HN: Do you use a physical calculator in your day job, and why?
Insect: https://github.com/sharkdp/insect
It is a bit slow but has decent features, including some physical units support.
I set up Tilda (or another Guake equivalent; I tried a bunch of them and can’t remember on which I settled in the end) to run it automatically when a terminal is opened, when pressing Scroll Lock. It’s quite neat: when I need to do a quick calculation, I just hit Scroll Lock, which spawns a drop down terminal with the focus; then type whatever I want to calculate; then control-D to dismiss the drop down terminal and I am back in whatever I was doing without moving either hand off the keyboard.
I do more or less the same thing on my Mac with Alfred.

Kagi Search – Public Beta
I'm in the same boat and will pay for Kagi, though I have a different interaction with a search engine and thought you might like the counterpoint. Notably, I don't use Google for most of what you described:
Translation: I use DeepL instead (google is doing poorly on Asian languages)
Conversion: not having much need for imperial but I use this for all unit conversion (though usually directly in my terminal): https://insect.sh/
Wikipedia: if I type Wikipedia+something my browser automatically use the wiki engine (chrome can do that too)
Word definition: on OSX I long press on the trackpad and the definition pops up (across languages, translation too for single words)
Lyrics: Spotify show them now! (admittedly that's a recent feature)

anyone know a calculator that can count to unreasonably high numbers? I'm talking x*10^1000 and stuff??
insect.sh goes up to about 109 × 1015.

Ask HN: Do you still use a hand held/desktop calculator?
There's also https://kalker.xyz. Not as powerful, but convenient syntax
-
Announcing arbitrary precision floating point numbers library.
I have been waiting for an alternative to rug for kalker for a long time now. I think this might be it soon.
-
Does anyone really like what Mathematica achieves, but hates the syntax?
For simple use-cases, I made a program called kalker which handles syntax like f(x) = 2ax(x + 2)(a - sqrt2) with syntax highlighting in the REPL and auto completion to mathematical symbols. In many cases you can write math like you would write it on paper. Right now I'm about to release support for vectors, matrices and numerical root-finding.
