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.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of your to-dos? longer-term projects?
For my long term side project I just dump ideas into a barely organised backlog.md [^1]. After finishing a feature or taking a few months away, I normally dive back in by browsing this and choosing the next milestone.
It's worked well for a couple of years, and helps me keep the long term goals in mind.

Ask HN: Share Your Personal Site
https://domwillia.ms
It uses a custom static site generator because I needed to procrastinate somehow before starting the first post... Now it's nicely stable and punishing new posts is quick and easy

Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2022)
Location: Tallinn, Estonia (UK citizen intending to move there)
Remote: Willing to work partly remote but I require a sponsored visa to work in Estonia
Willing to relocate: Yes, to Tallinn :^)
Technologies: Rust, C, Python preferably, but C++ too. I enjoy low-level work focused on performance; see my toy OS, JVM implementation and game engine on my github profile.
Résumé/CV: https://domwillia.ms | https://github.com/DomWilliams0 | please reach out via email for my résumé

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I've written some pretty low-level OpenGL bindings in Rust, because the existing solutions are either too high level or over the top complexity wise.
At the time I only had experience with the OpenGL C api and didn't want to learn a totally different Rust abstraction or mix C/C++ libraries into a pure Rust project.

Ask HN: What (side-)project are you working on?
I've been alternating between two long term Rust projects, which seems to work in keeping the motivation up for both!
A Dwarf Fortress-like game (and engine): https://github.com/DomWilliams0/name-needed
A x64 operating system: https://github.com/DomWilliams0/DomeOS

Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
A Dwarf Fortress-like game (and engine) in Rust: https://github.com/DomWilliams0/name-needed
Ambitious to be sure, but after a year and a half I'm still consistently working on it, and still enjoying it!

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
I have been running a Raspberry 2 cluster for 10 years: http://host.rupy.se
A few weeks back the first SD card to fail got so corrupted it failed to reboot!
My key learning is use oversized cards, because then the bitcycle will wear slower!
I'm going from 32GB to 256/512/1024!

What Kind of Asynchronous Is Right for You?
How this article does not mention SSE, comet or chunking escapes me.
What does their definition of event-driven really look like in practice.
Nobody has a clue.
Here is the ideal event driven system, it's async-to-async: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki/Fuse
The example is not working because I had to shut down the services for multiple reasons, but the high level of it is that you use 4 (potentially different) threads to do one request/response middle man transaction.
That way you have _zero_ io-wait or idling. I'm surprised nobody has copied this approach since I invented it 10 years ago. I understand why though you need your entire chain to be async and that means rewriting everything and that is a big risk when it's hard to debug.
But if you succeed you can build something that is 10x perf/watt than all other implementations. Which is going to be important when interest rates go higher and crash our entire industry.

You Want Modules, Not Microservices
I think we're all confused over the definition. Also one might understand what all the proponents are talking about better if they think about this more as a process and not some technological solution:
https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki/Process
All input I have is you want your code to run on many machines, in fact you want it to run the same on all machines you need to deliver and preferably more. Vertically and horizontally at the same time, so your services only call localhost but in many separate places.
This in turn mandates a distributed database. And later you discover it has to be capable of async-to-async = no blocking ever anywhere in the whole solution.
The way I do this is I hot-deploy my applications async. to all servers in the cluster, this is what a cluster node looks like in practice (the name next to Host: is the node): http://host.rupy.se if you click "api & metrics" you'll see the services.
With this not only do you get scalability, but also redundancy and development is maintained at live coding levels.

I wish my web server were in the corner of my room
I have hosted my own web server both physically and codevise since 2014.
It's on a Raspberry 2 cluster:
http://host.rupy.se
Since 2016 i have my own database also coded from scratch:
http://root.rupy.se
We need to implement HTTP/1.1 with less bloat, a C non-blocking web server that can share memory between threads is probably the most interesting project for humans right now, is anyone working on that?

Ask HN: Free and open source distributed database written in C++ or C
I have one in Java: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy
Here is the 2000 lines of code of the entire database: http://root.rupy.se/code?path=/Root.java
And here you can try it out: http://root.rupy.se

Server-Sent Events: the alternative to WebSockets you should be using
The data is here: http://fuse.rupy.se/about.html
Under Performance. Per watt the fuse/rupy platform completely crushes all competition because of 2 reasons:
- Event driven protocol design, averages at about 4 messages/player/second (means you cannot do spraying or headshots f.ex. which is another feature in my game design opinion).
- Java's memory model with atomic concurrency which needs a VM and GC (C++ copied that memory model in C++11, but it failed completely because they lack both VM and GC, but that model is still to this day the one C++ uses), you can read more about this here: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki
You can argue those points are bad arguments, but if you look at performance per watt with some consideration for developer friendlyness, I'm pretty sure in 100 years we will still be coding minimalist JavaSE on the server and vanilla C (compiled with C++ compiler) on the client.
