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.

Minimal implementation of Mamba, the new LLM architecture, in 1 file of PyTorch
>"everyone" seems to know Mamba. I never heard of Mamba
Only the "everybody who knows what mamba is" are the ones upvoting and commenting. Think of all the people who ignore it. For me, Mamba is the faster version of Conda [1], and that's why I clicked on the article.

Towards a New SymPy
Yes, this is a big disadvantage. But have you tried Mamba that aims at implementing Anaconda more efficiently? It works really well in most cases.

Why are the bioconda bioconductor packages so slow to update?
Because conda is very slow at resolving dependencies. Mamba (https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba) is faster if that is your goal

Is pip gaining on conda for python libs?
use mamba instead

Real-world examples of std::expected in codebases?
We started using tl::expected in https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/ since the beginning of this year and some other related projects like https://github.com/mamba-org/powerloader . I don't know much other big open-source codebases that use that specific lib.

What's Great about Julia?
Great writeup. Minor comment about the portion of the post mentioning Conda being glacially slow: Mamba [1] is a much better drop-in replacement written in C++. Not only is it significantly faster, but error messages are much more sane and helpful.
That being said, I do agree that Pkg.jl is much more sleek and modern than Conda/Mamba.

Given Rust’s rapidly growing popularity and wide range of use cases, it seems almost inevitable that it will overtake Python in the near future.
I thought that python could live a little longer when I learned about mamba. But then I found out it is written in C++? Why write a package manager for a dying language in a language that is almost dead???
-
Does anyone use virtual environments (Conan's virtual env. or Conda's) for C++
Yes, I use Conda enviroments (actually I use Mamba to manage them now).

Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools."
> Are we talking about the same autotools?
Yes. Instead of figuring out how to do something particular with every single software package, I can do a --with-foo or --without-bar or --prefix=/opt/baz-1.2.3, and be fairly confident that it will work the way I want.
Certainly with package managers or (FreeBSD) Ports a lot is taken care of behind the scenes, but the above would also help the package/port maintainers as well. Lately I've been using Spack for special-needs compiles, but maintainer ease also helps there, but there are still cases one a 'fully manual' compile is still done.
> Suffice it to say, I prefer to work with handwritten makefiles.
Having everyone 'roll their own' system would probably be worse, because any "mysteriously failure" then has to be debugged specially for each project.
Have you tried Spack?

FreeBSD has a(nother) new C compiler: Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++
Well, good luck with that, cause it's broken.

The Curious Case of MD5
> I can't count the number of times I've seen people say "md5 is fine for use case xyz" where in some counterintuitive way it wasn't fine.
I can count many more times that people told me that md5 was "broken" for file verification when, in fact, it never has been.
My main gripe with the article is that it portrays the entire legal profession as "backwards" and "deeply negligent" when they're not actually doing anything unsafe -- or even likely to be unsafe. And "tech" knows better. Much of tech, it would seem, has no idea about the use cases and why one might be safe or not. They just know something's "broken" -- so, clearly, we should update.
> Just use a safe one, even if you think you "don't need it".
Here's me switching 5,700 or so hashes from md5 to sha256 in 2019: https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/13185
Did I need it? No. Am I "compliant"? Yes.
Really, though, the main tangible benefit was that it saved me having to respond to questions and uninformed criticism from people unnecessarily worried about md5 checksums.

Cython 3.0 Released
In Spack [1] we can express all these constraints for the dependency solver, and we also try to always re-cythonize sources. The latter is because bundled cythonized files are sometimes forward incompatible with Python, so it's better to just regenerate those with an up to date cython.

Linux server for physics simulations
You want to look at the tools used for HPC systems, these are generally very well tried and tested and can be setup for single machine usage. Remote access - we use ssh, but web interfaces such as Open On Demand exist - https://openondemand.org/. For managing Jobs, Slurm is currently the most popular option - https://slurm.schedmd.com/documentation.html. For a module system (to load software and libraries per user), Spack is a great - https://spack.io/. You might also want to consider containerisation options, https://apptainer.org/ is a good option.
