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.

Tenderjit – A JIT for Ruby Written in Ruby
Yeah, here's my main sound repo: https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/mb-sound
There's also an FFI wrapper for jackd: https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/mb-sound-jackffi
I'm certain there are still improvements that could be made to the APIs and to performance, so I'm not currently releasing these on rubygems.

Torvalds: Shared libraries are not a good thing in general
Shared libraries and dynamic linking make writing FFI wrappers in other languages possible. If every library were statically linked, I wouldn't be able to write things like this: https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/mb-sound-jackffi

Torvalds: Shared libraries are not a good thing in general
To be honest, I haven't really tracked it— the product I work on dropped stereo vision in favour of RGBD, so I don't really know where it's landed. I suppose it's not a great sign that the current generation SDK still requires a login to access:
https://www.flir.ca/products/spinnaker-sdk/
And at least one spinnaker-based driver seems to have inherited the "download the SDK from elsewhere" approach, though who knows if that's due to genuine need or just cargo-culting forward what was implemented years ago in the flycapture driver:
https://github.com/neufieldrobotics/spinnaker_sdk_camera_dri...
The "proper" approach here would of course be for Open Robotics (the ROS maintainers) to pull the debs and host them on the official ROS repos, as they do for a number of other dependencies [1], but that clearly hasn't happened [2].
I think a lot of hardware vendors who cut their teeth in the totally locked down world of industrial controls/perception still think they're protecting some fantastic trade secret or whatever by behaving like this.
