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.

The technology behind GitHub’s new code search
In the top right corner of the tooltip it will say either "Search-based" or "Precise" - in this case, you're right, we don't have the abseil-cpp repo indexed so it falls back to search-based as you describe.
We do have a C++ code indexer in beta, https://github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-clang - it is based on clang but C++ indexing is notably harder to do automatically/without-setup due to the varying build systems that need to be understood in order to invoke the compiler.

GitHub Code Search (Preview)
Interesting because on https://lsif.dev/ I see that LSIF support for C++, which basically is just a wrapper around clangd AFAIU, is deprecated. Is there something else that replaced it?
-
SCIP - a better code indexing format than LSIF
We already have an LSIF indexer for C++ (lsif-clang); however, that is not as feature complete as the other indexers. Moreover, the codebase is forked off of Clang 10, so upgrading to newer Clang versions (and build a SCIP indexer on top of that) will be a challenge.

Why are not all repos covered?
Because different languages have different build systems, so inferring the right build commands, dependencies etc. is not so straightforward; these are necessary per-requisites for compiler-accurate cross references. We're working on fixing this with auto-indexing: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_intelligence/explanations/...
For C and C++ specifically, auto-indexing is challenging because of the large variety in build systems, informal specification of dependencies (such as in a README instead of a machine-readable format), and platform-specific code.
Outside of auto-indexing, we do have an indexer for C and C++ right now (https://github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-clang) which can be run in CI; that way one can generate an index and upload it to Sourcegraph on a regular basis. It is 'Partially available' (https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_intelligence/references/in...) right now. We're keenly aware of the interest in C++, and are working our way through different languages based on usage.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2024)
Sourcegraph | REMOTE | Full-Time | Machine Learning Engineer, Developer Advocate, Enterprise Product Manager, Technical Advisor | https://sourcegraph.com
Sourcegraph is a code AI platform that makes it easy to read, write, and fix code–even in big, complex codebases.
We are building Cody, an AI coding assistant that uses code search and code intelligence to help devs quickly understand what's happening in code and generate new code that matches the best practices in your codebase. Cody supports AI-enabled autocompletion, fixing bugs, refactoring, test generation, code explanation, and answering high-level questions. You can read Steve Yegge's post on why Cody's code context engine differentiates it from the fast-moving field of AI dev tools: https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/cheating-is-all-you-need.

Tell HN: GitHub is blocking search unless you are logged in
Despite their shitty rug-pull <https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/53345>, I do really like Sourcegraph and one doesn't (currently?!) need to be logged in to use it: https://sourcegraph.com/search and they have a handy rewrite pattern such that one can just plug the repo path into the URL for quick searching e.g. https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/JetBrains/intellij-commun...

My 2024 AI Predictions
- https://sourcegraph.com is pivoting and building a copilot application (named Cody). This is pretty good, since sourcegraph is great at understanding your code

The Curse of Docker
While a readable Dockerfile can work as documentation, there are a few caveats:
* the application needs to be designed to work outside containers (so, no hardcoded URLs, ports, or paths). Also, not directly related to containers, but it's nice if it can be easily compiled in most environments and not just on the base image.
* I still need a way to notify me of updates; if the Dockerfile just wgets a binary, this doesn't help me.
* The Dockerfiles need to be easy to find. Sourcegraph's don't seem to be referenced from the documentation, I had to look through their Github repos to find https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/tree/main/docker-... (though most are bazel scripts instead of Dockerfiles, but serve the same purpose)

Building Reddit’s Design System on iOS
We use Sourcegraph, which is a tool that searches through code in repositories. We leverage this tool in order to understand the adoption curve of our components across all of Reddit. We have a dashboard for each of the platforms to compare the inclusion of RPL components over legacy components. These insights are helpful for us to make informed decisions on how we continue to drive RPL adoption. We love seeing the green line go up and the red line go down!
