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.

What's your favorite quality-of-life script/alias?
I have a for that.
-
(Shell) scripts (and scripting tips & tricks) you made that are very usefull to you? (And could be as usefull for others!)
I also have a which abstracts some of the common package manager commands between apt, yum and Slackware as well as just simplifying the command, e.g. a foo will install package foo.

A quick list of tweaks that I find useful to do on a new linux install.
Years ago I wrote this for Slackware and now use a this script for Debian.

[dvp] How do I use the shifts?
Right, with Advantage’s reprogramming it’s certainly doable. The link I’ve provided describes how to do it on Advantage (it’s just a matter of rotating the digit keys ones ide to the left) as well as includes qwerty.txt though only the following part is needed for the digits:

Any Advice On Getting Transparency To Work In Emacs Window Manager ('exwm') With Compton On Gentoo Linux OR Debian 10 Testing?
If you want all X windows to be translucent you have to get compositor running and then get EXWM to update window’s _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY X property. The value of this property goes from 0 (fully transparent) to #xffffffff. As I don’t use EXWM I don’t know if it’s currently possible. If it’s not, I’ve written such code for Sawfish in the past which you might take a look at to adapt for EXWM.

Piping into Emacs
Take a look at my e command which does that if - is passed as an argument. It achieves this by executing a long insert call through emacsclient.

Fzf advanced integration in Powershell
If you want to integrate fzf with rg, fd, bat to fuzzy find files, directories or ripgrep the content of a file and preview using bat, but the fzf document only has commands for Linux shell (bash,...), and you want to achieve that on your Windows Machine using Powershell, this post may be for you.

Finding all HTML tags in a project not being self-closed
There were quite some occurrences of this component in the entire project, therefore just searching for base-input was not going to cut it for me. Instead, I decided to use regular expressions resp. regex with ripgrep. After installing ripgrep it provides a rg command line tool.

Code Search Is Hard
Basic code searching skills seems like something new developers are never explicitly taught, but which is an absolutely crucial skill to build early on.
I guess the knowledge progression I would recommend would look something kind this:
- Learning about Ctrl+F, which works basically everywhere.
- Transitioning to ripgrep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep - I wouldn't even call this optional, it's truly an incredible and very discoverable tool. Requires keeping a terminal open, but that's a good thing for a newbie!
- Optional, but highly recommended: Learning one of the powerhouse command line editors. Teenage me recommended Emacs; current me recommends vanilla vim, purely because some flavor of it is installed almost everywhere. This is so that you can grep around and edit in the same window.
- In the same vein, moving back from ripgrep and learning about good old fashioned grep, with a few flags rg uses by default: `grep -r` for recursive search, `grep -ri` for case insensitive recursive search, and `grep -ril` for case insensitive recursive "just show me which files this string is found in" search. Some others too, season to taste.
- Finally hitting the wall with what ripgrep can do for you and switching to an actual indexed, dedicated code search tool.

Modern Java/JVM Build Practices
The world has moved on though to opinionated tools, and Rust isn't even the furthest in that direction (That would be Go). The equivalent of those two lines in Cargo.toml would be this example of a basic configuration from the jacoco-maven-plugin: https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom.x... - That's 40 lines in the section to do the "defaults".
Yes, you could add a load of config for files to include/exclude from coverage and so on, but the idea that that's a norm is way more common in Java projects than other languages. Like here's some example Cargo.toml files from complicated Rust projects:
Servo: https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/main/Cargo.toml
rust-gdext: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext/blob/master/godot-core/C...
ripgrep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/Cargo.toml

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
I'm not clear on why you're seeing the results you are. It could be because your haystack is so small that you're mostly just measuring noise. ripgrep 14 did introduce some optimizations in workloads like this by reducing match overhead, but I don't think it's anything huge in this case. (And I just tried ripgrep 13 on the same commands above and the timings are similar if a tiny bit slower.)
