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.

- Is TLS Fast Yet? - TLS has exactly one performance problem: it is not used widely enough. Everything else can be optimized.

Lost something? Search through 91.7M files from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s
> You want your website to work on vintage computers where they run super old browsers? Then you probably need a HTTP version of the website without TLS/SSL as it's not gonna be accessible otherwise.
That's incredibly niche. I don't think it deserves to be an example of "meme needs to die".
> Running a software/package repository/registry where every package is signed and verified locally? No need for TLS/SSL and it would just slow down downloading 1000s of packages as handshaking does add latency to requests.
Need some secure way to pass around the SHA256 (or whatever) hash you're using for verification.
And thinking of "memes that need to die", https://istlsfastyet.com suggests this isn't as bad as I think you think it is.

Why does linux use HTTP to get updates?
Not really... TLS is pretty much unnoticable on "modern" hardware. https://istlsfastyet.com/

Healthcare IT: Encrypt PHI Traffic Inside the Network?
So it's not correct to say that simply using TLS is faster than using TCP (see here). It is accurate to say that securing a connection allows engineers to take advantage of some incredibly clever work that greatly accelerates connection speed, and that wouldn't be possible without the strong security guarantees provided by modern encryption.

Consider Disabling HTTPS Auto Redirects
> increases it’s overhead by almost 100%.
3.8/2.9 kB is a 31% increase.
1.16/0.62 s is an 87% increase.
But okay, let's round up to 100%.

> But what about sites like https://doesmysiteneedhttps.com? While this website makes a few valid points, it still relies heavily on “fear tactics” that honestly don’t apply for the vast majority of users. It’s overkill.
Sorry, but not good enough.
1. "a few valid points": you avoid making your visitors liable in oppressive environments (employers, regimes), you avoid very real content injection (commercial or malicious), and you give the visitor a way to know that content wasn't tampered. That's a few valid points. (The rest of https://doesmysiteneedhttps.com are counter-arguments.)
2. "fear tactics": not true. Protecting the integrity of your visitors and your content is nurture, not fear.
3. "don’t apply for the vast majority of users": by making HTTPS standard at practically no cost, you make it work for those for whom it matters. Just because I feel safe on Hacker News doesn't mean that any visitor who goes here will be treated fairly by reading my message.

Why most of mirrors(if not all) use http instead of https?
CPUs have specific features to help with encryption now, and HTTP/2 (which pretty much requires TLS) can actually reduce the number of overall TCP connections and may use less resources than clear text HTTP/1.1. Check out https://istlsfastyet.com/
