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.

Why AWS Supports Valkey
This is correct, but doesn't quite explain why. It's because when you accept contributions from a variety of authors, without using a CLA, then your code base ends up with a patchwork of copyright, making relicensing practically impossible as you have to get buy-in from every author or else determine that author's contributions and remove/rewrite them.
GPL/LGPL are excellent licenses, but this patchwork of copyright can apply for any license you use. For a small project we wrote which was under BSD, we recently had to make a small (non-functional) change to the license, and we got buy-in from all the authors to do this which took quite a long time: https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/commit/952ffe0fc7685ea775...

The C++20 Naughty and Nice List for Game Devs
I think an exception might be made for a plain "C-like" struct that doesn't initialize members or contain anything except basic types. In the specific example[0] the code is actually surrounded by extern "C" { ... } so I suppose that the compiler "knows" this is a plain C struct?

The OpenTF Manifesto
We relicensed[1] a project which had 10 contributors, and we got every single one of them to do an Acked-by (by email) which took some weeks. That was the advice from our lawyers. Can't imagine the impossible hassle of doing the same for something like Linux.

Data Science at the Command Line, 2nd Edition (2021)
Thanks, if anyone else is interested there is an explanation of this feature here: https://subtxt.in/library-data/2016/03/28/json_stream_jq And: https://github.com/jqlang/jq/wiki/FAQ#streaming-json-parser
The last time I tried, I think the reason I gave up on JQ for large inputs was that the throughput would max out at 7mb/s whereas the same thing with spark SQL on the same hardware (MacBook) would max out at 250mb/s. So I started looking into using other solutions for big data while I use jq in parallel for small data in multiple files.
I will test it out again cause this was 4-5 years ago when I last tested it, but I believe jaq is still preferred for large inputs. Still I prefer for big data to use Spark/Polars/clickhouse etc.

I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
I think like you. But also, one does not necessarily know beforehand that they will want to make money.
Like a project could be born out of pure generosity, but after the happy initial phase the project might get too heavy on the maintenance requirements, causing the author to approach burnout, and possibly deciding that they want to make money to continue pulling the cart forward.
However, here's something I do think: if you create something as Open Source, it should be out of a mentality of goodwill and for the greater good, regardless of how it ends up being used. OSS licenses do mean this with their terms. If you later get tired or burned out, you should just retire and allow the community to keep taking care of it. Just like it happened with the Jq tool [1].

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
To handle JSON files and JSON outputs in a script or format and highlight it, jq can be very handy. Many command line tools provide a json output, so you don't have to write a custom parser for a table a list in a terminal. Instead of that, you can use jq to get a specific value from the output or even modify the output. For more information, you can visit https://jqlang.github.io/jq/

How I use Nix in my Elm projects
In some projects I've wanted to use HTTPie to test APIs and jq to work with some JSON data. Nix has been really helpful in managing those dependencies that I can't easily get from npm.
What are some alternatives?
