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.

Ask HN: Examples of Microkernels?
This is based on little kernel from recollection (noted somewhere in the docs)

Are there any jobs out there in C++ programming for someone who is primarily a hardware engineer? HFT or any other industry?
I've worked in LK (Little Kernel), which is the basis of the Android and WebOS boot loaders, but is also a reasonable stand-alone operating system, ThreadX, which is a very lightweight RTOS, and one or two others. These were all written in C, but it was also quite a few years ago, so I suspect a good chunk of the industry has moved to C++.

Is “make” or “makefile” like a OS?
You might also want to look into LK ("little kernel"). It's the basis for both the Android and WebOS bootloaders, which I've also worked on. It has multi-threading and I/O but doesn't support user processes. Might be good for embedded systems.

HFS Origins: The Turbo File System (2017)
I think NeXT might've written an HFS Standard reader or something, but they used the Apple code for HFS+ so it ended up as a hybrid.

Windows 11 Insider Preview — Rust in the Windows Kernel
Mach message passing and objc message passing have no relation. I don’t think xnu contains much if any objc.

Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming
here is the kernel source (they have branches for each individual macos release with its darwin kernel ver, macos 13 is ver 8792.xx.x for instance): https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac
Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with open source. The main beneficiaries of Apple supporting Vulkan would be people porting closed-source games.
