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.

Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds
https://github.com/instant-labs/instant-distance is a compact, fairly readable, pretty fast implementation of the paper in Rust.

Building a Vector Database with Rust to Make Use of Vector Embeddings
When I looked at it the Rust-CV HNSW implementation was pretty messy, and it looks like it hasn't seen any commits in 2 years. This is partly why we started instant-distance as an alternative, which I think has come out pretty well (for the particular use cases that it serves).

DiskANN Pure Rust Implementation Interest
I believe u/dochtman's implementation of HNSW is about as good as HNSW is going to get. Competing with the scalability and features (like streamed updates) of FAISS is what I hope to accomplish with this project. Based on interest, I'm now leaning towards an MIT license for the implementation.

Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSW)
I wrote an HNSW implementation in pure Rust:
https://github.com/InstantDomain/instant-distance
It works pretty well for us at InstantDomainSearch.
I like to think that this is a fairly idiomatic Rust implementation so it might be easier to follow than Facebook's FAISS. It's kinda similar in design to FAISS, so I think it might achieve similar performance, though we haven't spent enough time benchmarking yet.

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650
This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html
Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

I hate Rust (programming language)
> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.
Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.
To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/

What Are Const Generics and How Are They Used in Rust?
The above Assert<{N % 2 == 1}> requires #![feature(generic_const_exprs)] and the nightly toolchain. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76560 for more info.
