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.

How Hackerman would create an image just by typing 0 and 1 – a deep dive to GIF
Okay, so of interest but maybe not applicable to my usecase. Thanks:)
Yeah, it remains to be seen how complex the actual format/code is. Would need to balance the difficulty of recreating it (which I assume to be quite high) against difficulty of extracting kernel code... although https://github.com/lkl/linux exists so for all I know maybe it's easy¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And yes, if I needed to actually write a "tar2ext4" tool today - like, start working in the morning and have it done by EOD - I would absolutely use... actually probably a loopback device rather than a true ramdisk, but yeah. But that requires root access and fiddling with loopback config, which seems excessive for what is, ultimately, just another archive format (from a certain point of view). And honestly some of it is just that it sounds fun to get my hands dirty with filesystem code in userspace:)

Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment
Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too
I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.
Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.
For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Plunder and Urbit
Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.
That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

Cap'n Proto 1.0
I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.
If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.
So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.
https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.
Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.
Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...
