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.

I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
I think like you. But also, one does not necessarily know beforehand that they will want to make money.
Like a project could be born out of pure generosity, but after the happy initial phase the project might get too heavy on the maintenance requirements, causing the author to approach burnout, and possibly deciding that they want to make money to continue pulling the cart forward.
However, here's something I do think: if you create something as Open Source, it should be out of a mentality of goodwill and for the greater good, regardless of how it ends up being used. OSS licenses do mean this with their terms. If you later get tired or burned out, you should just retire and allow the community to keep taking care of it. Just like it happened with the Jq tool [1].

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
To handle JSON files and JSON outputs in a script or format and highlight it, jq can be very handy. Many command line tools provide a json output, so you don't have to write a custom parser for a table a list in a terminal. Instead of that, you can use jq to get a specific value from the output or even modify the output. For more information, you can visit https://jqlang.github.io/jq/

How I use Nix in my Elm projects
In some projects I've wanted to use HTTPie to test APIs and jq to work with some JSON data. Nix has been really helpful in managing those dependencies that I can't easily get from npm.

Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application
> I'd love to see programs communicate through a typed JSON/proto format that shed enough details to make this more independent, and get useful shell command structuring/completion or full blown GUIs from simply introspecting the expected input and output types.
You should try PowerShell. It's basically Microsoft's .NET ecosystem molded into an interactive command line. I'm not entirely sure if PoweShell can make full use of the static types that build up its core, but its ability to exchange objects in the command line is almost unmatched.
On Linux you can use `jc` (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) combined with `jq` (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to glue together command lines.

To a Man with `Jq`, Everything Looks Like JSON
Yeah, but muscle memory bites me all the time and I put the backslash on the closing paren, too, because I'm so used to the regex usage of that syntax which needs them to match
I also want to draw the reader's attention to the magic of |@uri <https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/jq-1.7/docs/content/manual...> for a bunch of cases, but doubly so in TFA's case where they're plugging strings into a URI context. Simple string concat often works great for "hello world", but the world is not always just hello, so one quick use of the filter and jq's got your back
echo "the world's scary" | jq -Rr '"\(.)"'

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
I think the original devs just got burnt out for a while https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/2305#issuecomment-157263...
jq 1.7 do preserve large integers but will truncate if any operation is done on them. Unfortunetly it currently truncates to a decimal64 which is a bit confusing, this will be fixed in next release where it follow the suggestion from the JSON spec and truncates to binary64 (double) https://github.com/jqlang/jq/pull/2949
The fact that jq takes almost a second to run on a Pi is crazy[0]. And the tool is written in C.

Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'
That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.
As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it.
I referenced bat because I've found that suggesting cygwin sometimes provokes a negative reaction. The GP also mentioned needing to install GNU tooling as if it were a negative.
bat is fancy pager written in Rust. It's on GitHub: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
I've been using bat as a cat replacement for a while now. It includes paging, syntax highlighting, line numbers, and is generally very performant.
