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.

- pixz: Parallel, Indexed xz Compressor

Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works

Xz format considered inadequate for long-term archiving
pixz (https://github.com/vasi/pixz) is a nice parallel xz that additionally creates an index of tar files so you can decompress individual files. I wonder if dpkg could be extended to do something similar.

The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)
There's pixz, which indexes the tarball, allowing listing/extracting individual paths without decompressing the whole thing.

Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
Also relevant is pixz [1] which can do parallel LZMA/XZ decompression as well as tar file indexing.

7-Zip 21.0 alpha introduces native Linux support
Yes, it's as easy as installing pixz with symlinks pointing to xz (I think Debian even does this automatically as part of its post-installation scripts).

PeaZip 7.7.1 released!
Not quite what you're asking, but if you're a 7-Zip fan and on Linux, you might be interested in pixz.

Tyrano-based VN on Linux/SteamOS?
The game is using @electron/asar which isn't anything special.
-
Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
Since Hop doesn't do compression, the most appropriate comparison would be to asar
https://github.com/electron/asar
It's not hard being faster than zip if you are not compressing/uncompressing.

2 software devs: We would love to write the code for your idea! Round #3
We just had a look at Twitch Studio for the first time. We've been using OBS so far. It looks like Twitch Studio is closed source and Twitch doesn't have a way for the community to release plugins for it. Twitch Studio is an Electron app, so I was able to reverse-engineer the source code by using asar, but unfortunately Twitch obfuscated all the code which makes it very hard to understand what's going on. Looks like we'd have to wait until Twitch Studio brings official support for developer plugins... (I hope our analysis is right, please correct us if not.)
