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: Any good books on ray tracing?
Physically Based Rendering[0] was an excellent textbook when I read it ages ago and conveniently enough it looks to have been updated with a new edition last year.

Is it possible and realistic to learn independent of an API?

C++ Project to Put On Resume
Both of these books are free, and both are written in C++, but they can be done in any language. The first book, a raytracer in a weekend, is part of a series, you can find it here: https://raytracing.github.io/ And, if you get to the third book in that series, or you need a reference book, the PBRT book covers the math in more depth and discusses the latest theory, you can get the last edition of the book (5 years out of date) for free though: https://pbrt.org/

(Why) is a toy password manager a too complex summer project?
Making a “complete” one is a never-ending rabbit hole you can spend a lifetime on and is a very active area of research covering more advanced geometry, probability, optics, machine learning etc etc. A great introduction to that is https://pbrt.org

Suggestions for some best books on computer vision
This isn't the highest priority but if you haven't already, learn how computer graphics works. Get a working knowledge of the camera matrix, real time graphics (say, OpenGL but threeJS is an option), and photorealistic graphics. PBRT is the go-to for photorealistic graphics. The first two books of Foundations of Game Engine Development are way more useful than they have any right to be (and my favorite textbooks I've ever read, 10/10).

Org Mode Gripes
Org-mode strength though is in working with different languages in a same source file, which I am not sure if Knuths version does. Anyway, to see how the original idea looks like, check the Wikipedia article, or to see it in real-life see some of books that are written in the literate style, like Physically Based Rendering, which seems to be available for free nowadays or C Interfaces and Implementations.

Physically Based: A Database of PBR Values for Real-World Materials
I contributed a tiny bit to pbrt[1], and one of the things I loved was that if you just plugged in physical values you almost always got great results with minimal tweaking.
The Octane data seems most complete at first glance (with complex IOR etc), but for things like milk and blood I expected at the very least some absorption coefficient for the translucency or similar.

A nano like text editor built with pure C
Most of that is probably attributable to being based on Kilo: https://github.com/antirez/kilo (kinda strange they didn't link directly in their readme) - a tiny text editor written by antirez who notably also created Redis. Antirez has a bunch of really interesting side projects if you dig into their github repo.

Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano
Yeah, "micro" for an editor would be 11 kilo bytes. I bet it's possible to do a half-decent editor in C in 11KB. Antirez's "kilo" (~1000 lines of C) is 36KB when compiled with standard gcc (https://github.com/antirez/kilo).
That said, for many server-type use cases these days, 11MB isn't a huge deal. Still, I wonder if micro could be compiled on / ported to TinyGo and end up a few hundred KB? It looks like TinyGo can produce some pretty small binaries: https://tinygo.org/docs/guides/optimizing-binaries/
- Ask HN: Does this exist? Courses explaining well written codebases?

What happens when you press a key in your terminal?
Anyone interested in the machinations of all of this terminal stuff should look at antirez’ kilo, a terminal text editor in under 1000 lines of code: https://github.com/antirez/kilo
There is a nice tutorial that walks through how one might write it from scratch: https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/

A simple terminal game
I always wondered how people get stuff animated on the terminal but I never had the time to look into it up until a few years ago when someone on the internet released an awesome guide on how to create a text editor in less than 1000 lines of C. What caught my attention about this was that it was based on Antirez' kilo - which is a terminal based editor.

Ask HN: How to learn about text editor architectures and implementations?
You could start by looking at something super simple like Kilo:

Even I could understand this one pretty well and that's no small matter.

Ginkgo: A WIP small text editor built entirely in Rust with cursor control and select Vim features
I just started learning Rust 2 weeks ago, and I wanted to apply my learning towards a project.Ginkgo is a small text editor built entirely in Rust. It takes inspiration from the famous tiny C-based text editor, Kilo. It also includes many Vim inspired keybindings and features such as normal/insert modes. For convenience, it also has added mouse cursor support!
