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 don't schools teach debugging, or, more fundamentally, fundamentals?
I think in part it's because the idea that programming is text and math-based is too ingrained in society.
For example, we talk about programming languages. But IMO there are also programming systems such as Smalltalk [1]. I've programmed 2 years professionally in it, currently looking for an engagement in a different language (a curiosity thing, also a resume thing).
I think Smalltalk has a lot to offer by switching the programmer's view of thinking about programming systems rather than programming languages.
Moreover, programming systems is also not where it is at. One downside that Pharo in particular has is that the community is small. A lot of plugins/libraries that are a given in other languages aren't there! For some, however, this is a strength because one gets to learn much better how to build stuff from the ground up and tinker on it by yourself. Given that there is still a lot of low hanging fruit it is easy to become a contributor.
But this part, whether a community is big or small means that I think it's smarter to think about programming ecosystems where a programming language or programming system is the central hub connecting the programming community together.
Why don't schools teach about programming communities? See my first sentence ;-)

What you need is a cross platform GUI framework that still is a mutable environment allowing easy extend ability with a simple language. May I suggest Pharo Smalltalk?

When all the required dependencies are being found on your Fedor install we should wonder why "the VM seemed to hang and never started properly".

Ask HN: Alternatives to organizing code in files and folders?
Consider playing with Pharo [1], it shows how it can still use Git to store sources in background.
There is LivelyKernel [2] but some versions are more file-oriented (like Lively 4 [3)

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650
This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html
Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

I hate Rust (programming language)
> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.
Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.
To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/
