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.

First Casio wrist camera. Any chance this can connect to modern computers or devices?
If it's Windows, you can probably just use an external CD drive or look for an ISO copy online. For the most part, old Windows software still works with modern Windows (REALLY old software will be 16-bit and will need NTVDMx64 to work on 64-bit). Though I'm not sure about the driver itself. If it's a generic protocol, it might just be plug-and-play

Help getting NTVDMx64 installed
I've seen NTVDMx64 mentioned in the BBS community, as it's supposed to install a 16-bit NTVDM on 64-bit editions of Windows. I've been trying to get this installed on my main desktop PC at home (running Windows 11 64-bit), but I always run into some errors trying to install it, and it doesn't seem to install completely (I am unable to run 16-bit DOS programs).

Not Tech Savvy- Seeking insight on why windows is a better operating system then Linux
Well... Windows is always the best option because of its backwards compatibility. Even with some small apps (like NTVDMx64, or similar) you can even make Win10/Win11 run software made to run in 16-bit (or, Windows 3.1 or Win95). I've had to do that for some edutainment software for my son.

An actual good thing about Windows 11 rollout: 64-bit only
If you really want DOS apps on 64-bit there's https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64 or use a flavour of DOSBox.

Airline keeps mistaking 101-year-old woman for baby
It's an interesting "time is a circle" problem given that a century only has 100 years and then we loop around again. 2-digit years is convenient for people in many situations but they are very lossy, and horrible for machines.
It reminds me of this breaking change to .Net from last year.[1][2] Maybe AA just needs to update .Net which would pad them out until the 2050's when someone born in the 1950s would be having...exactly the same problem in the article. (It is configurable now so you could just keep pushing it each decade, until it wraps again).
Or they could use 4-digit years.

The Performance Impact of C++'s `final` Keyword
Yes, that is true. I'm not sure about JVM implementation details but the reason the comment says "virtual and interface" calls is to outline the difference. Virtual calls in .NET are sufficiently close[0] to virtual calls in C++. Interface calls, however, are coded differently[1].
Also you are correct - virtual calls are not terribly expensive, but they encroach on ever limited* CPU resources like indirect jump and load predictors and, as noted in parent comments, block inlining, which is highly undesirable for small and frequently called methods, particularly when they are in a loop.
* through great effort of our industry to take back whatever performance wins each generation brings with even more abstractions that fail to improve our productivity

Java 23: The New Features Are Officially Announced
If you care about portable SIMD and performance, you may want to save yourself trouble and skip to C# instead, it also has an extensive guide to using it: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/69110bfdcf5590db1d32c...
CoreLib and many new libraries are using it heavily to match performance of manually intensified C++ code.

Why choose async/await over threads?
We might not be that far away already. There is this issue[1] on Github, where Microsoft and the community discuss some significant changes.
There is still a lot of questions unanswered, but initial tests look promising.

Redis License Changed
https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet exists for source build that stitches together SDK, Roslyn, runtime and other dependencies. A lot of them can be built and used individually, which is what contributors usually do. For example, you can clone and build https://github.com/dotnet/runtime and use the produced artifacts to execute .NET assemblies or build .NET binaries.

Garnet – A new remote cache-store from Microsoft Research
Yeah, it kind of is. There are quite a few of experiments that are conducted to see if they show promise in the prototype form and then are taken further for proper integration if they do.
Unfortunately, object stack allocation was not one of them even though DOTNET_JitObjectStackAllocation configuration knob exists today, enabling it makes zero impact as it almost never kicks in. By the end of the experiment[0], it was concluded that before investing effort in this kind of feature becomes profitable given how a lot of C# code is written, there are many other lower hanging fruits.
To contrast this, in continuation to green threads experiment, a runtime handled tasks experiment[1] which moves async state machine handling from IL emitted by Roslyn to special-cased methods and then handling purely in runtime code has been a massive success and is now being worked on to be integrated in one of the future version of .NET (hopefully 10?)
