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.

A Critical Analysis of the What3Words Geocoding Algorithm
Pluscode is a trademark. The actual standard is called "open location code" and is unrestricted - https://github.com/google/open-location-code/

Evaluation of Location Encoding Systems
Yeah, that seems like a bad design choice. If you look at the spec [0], you can see that they only use "23456789CFGHJMPQRVWX" in the codes. They apparently scored the letters based on how well they can spell 10000 words in 30 languages, without thinking about character similarity. If they had involved actual humans instead of counting letter frequency, they might have noticed that the letter W looks similar to VV, and that its English name is "double U". And tried a letter like N or Y, which would be much harder to confuse.

Houses having names instead of numbers.
I wish https://plus.codes/ took off. The benefit compared to what 3 words is that you can use the closest city to give directions and cells next to each other share the bigger cell name.

r/Starlink Questions Thread - March 2022
New to this so sorry if this is stupid. I've been trying to use https://plus.codes to try to check an address for availability at starlink. Whatever code I put in, it simply tells me afterwards "please enter an address or a plus code". That website seems to give me either a shorter or a longer plus code. Neither of them seems to make the starlink website happy. When I try putting in the address, it doesn't like that either. Confused on where to go from here.

Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
My works over the years are accumulated on https://www.nayuki.io/ . Lately I finished writing a new PNG library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/png-library ), and now I'm revamping a DEFLATE library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/deflate-library-java ).

Which developers should I follow?
https://www.nayuki.io/ seems good usually.
But yes, i would mainly recommend the standard lib of the language in question, but not all programming languages have a "standard lib" you can read.

Adding is favoured over subtracting in problem solving
Me too - I enjoy reviewing my existing work, and over months and years, I slowly modify my code to become shorter or clearer. Some evidence exists in the history of https://github.com/nayuki/Nayuki-web-published-code .
It's funny you call yourself "pessimizer", because you seem to be good at optimizing.
