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.

Sputnim A Sat Solver In Nim
I used MiniZinc to model a scheduling problem for a customer which used constraints to block off already scheduled time, holiday time, non-work hours, etc. and it also had soft constraints for ensuring that blocks of time would be prioritized first to ensure that preferred representatives would get to a work with a given customer first based on previous relationship and skills. Once we translated the modelled constraints from MiniZinc to JaCoP in Java, the solution was able to generate hundreds of solutions per second. And note that it was able to do this minute level resolution such that no blocks of time were wasted because of scheduler limitations.

A* Tricks for Videogame Path Finding
Small NP-hard problems aren't actually that bad. You can usually formulate them as eg a integer programming problem or a SMT problem, and throw an off-the-shelf solver at them.
You only need to learn the solver once, and you can re-use it for all kinds of problems. (Assuming that your instances don't have to be solved with low latency. Eg only as part of your level generation process, or at most when loading a randomly generated level, but not every frame or so.)
https://developers.google.com/optimization has a decent collection of tools.

[P] Advice needed for what tool/algorithm is appropriate
Google OR - Tried to represent a solution to be a 5 dimensional matrix with an hour granularity. Dimensions are stations, program, project manager, day and time. If matrix[station][program][project manager][day][time] = 1, then that set is assigned, otherwise not. The main issue encountered here is about time slots, as they are not necessarily on a per hour basis. We tried time slots to be in a 5-minute interval. However, constructing the constraints that would adhere to each programs duration was proven to be difficult.

Assignment to at most K groups from distance matrix?
start enumerating the properties you think the solution to your problem should have. once you have this, you should be able to reformulate those properties as constraints and then you can just plug this into a combinatorial solver such as https://developers.google.com/optimization
