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.

Quite OK Image is now my favorite asset format
> The QOI benchmarks shows it only lagging a small bit behind PNG in compression ratio, while performing much faster (multiples) in both encoding and decoding.
Presumably that’s with stock libpng, which uses zlib. I wonder if anyone tried patching it to use the substantially faster (on x86) libdeflate[1] instead? It doesn’t do streaming, but you shouldn’t really need it for PNG textures.

Computing Adler32 Checksums at 41 GB/s
Note that libdeflate has used essentially the same method since 2016 (https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/blob/v0.4/lib/adler32...), though I recently switched it to use a slightly different method (https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/blob/v1.12/lib/x86/ad...) that performs more consistently across different families of x86 CPUs.

Zlib – a spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library
Going away from Zlib proper but staying with its format, there’s libdeflate[1], an implementation that’s substantially faster on modern machines but can’t stream, and of course Zopfli[2], a glacially slow compressor that’s somewhat better (and occasionally much more so).

Patching an Embedded Synthesiser OS from 1996 with Ghidra
Shout out to Hex Fiend! My favorite feature is the template system[0]. It makes it much easier to figure out file formats for which you have no documentation. You write a little tcl code to describe the parts of the format you understand as you go.

Firefox's Optimized Zip Format: Reading Zip Files Quickly
