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: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Unicode Separated Values (USV)
CSV is great because excel can import it, but it can't import USV, so at that point, why use USV when you can use JSON?

Analyzing multi-gigabyte JSON files locally
> Also note that this approach generalizes to other text-based formats. If you have 10 gigabyte of CSV, you can use Miller for processing. For binary formats, you could use fq if you can find a workable record separator.
You can also generalize it without learning a new minilanguage by using https://github.com/tyleradams/json-toolkit which converts csv/binary/whatever to/from json

Show HN: Angle Grinder – A terminal app to slice, dice, and aggregate your logs
I really like this tool, but I'm not sure what it gets me more than jq (and https://github.com/tyleradams/json-toolkit to convert non-json to json).
What can angle grinder do better than jq?

What the fuck
However, since every JSON document can be represented in a single line, something like newline-delimited JSON / JSON Lines feels like it would've been more suitable for that kind of data.
- The XML spec is 25 years old today

Consider Using CSV
No one uses that format for streamed json, see ndson and jsonl
http://ndjson.org/
The size complaint is overblown, as repeated fields are compressed away.
As other folks rightfully commented, csv is a mine field. One should assume every CSV file is broken in some way. They also don't enumerate any of the downsides of CSV.
What people should consider is using formats like Avro or Parquet that carry their schema with them so the data can be loaded and analyzed without have to manually deal with column meaning.

DevTool Intro: The Algolia CLI!
What is ndjson? Newline delimited JSON is the format the Algolia CLI reads from and writes to files. This means that any command that passes ndjson formatted data as output or accepts it as input can be piped together with an Algolia CLI command! We’ll see more of this in the next example
-
On read of JSON file it loads the entire JSON into memory.
You might consider using json-lines format (also known as newline-delimited JSON), in which each line is a separate JSON document so they can be loaded individually.
-
How to format it as json?
The format you're getting is known as Newline-Delimited JSON. Instead of trying to parse the whole input and pass that to the JSON Decoder, you can use something like bufio.Scanner to get and parse it line by line.

Arrow2 0.12.0 released - including almost complete support for Parquet
This is in oposition to NDJSON, which allows to split records without deserializing JSON itself, via e.g. read_lines. fwiw CSV suffers from the same problem as JSON - generally not possible to break into records without deserializing. It is worse than NDJSON because the character \n may appear at any position within an item, thus forbidding read_lines.

Processing large JSON files in Python without running out of memory
I've always seen it referred to as ndjson

Speeding up Go's builtin JSON encoder up to 55% for large arrays of objects
I think this would be fine, as long as the CSV layer was still parsable using the RFC 4180, then you could still use a normal CSV parser to parse the CSV layer and a normal JSON parser to parse the JSON layer. My worry with your example is that it is nether format, so it will need custom serialisation and deserialisation logic as it is essentially a bran new format.

If you’re looking for line-oriented JSON, another option would be ndjson: http://ndjson.org/
