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: What side projects landed you a job?
Not a job per se, but some friends and I wrote a library for building compositional chatbots (like for IRC not LLMs necessarily) encoded as Mealy Machines: https://github.com/cofree-coffee/cofree-bot/
That project then has since led to a long term collaboration with the Topos Institute where we are building type theory for Polynomial Functors: https://github.com/toposInstitute/polytt
Polynomial Functors are a really powerful abstraction from Category Theory which subsumes the co-algebraic approach to finite state machines used in `cofree-bot` and which can also be used to encode wiring diagrams, tactics engines, game semantics, neural networks, and dynamical systems in general.

How to build a CDN (1/3): introduction and basic components
For the biggest pioneers, there is also a variant to build your own GeoDNS service with your own name servers. But for this to make sense and real value, anycast IP addresses would be needed. Also a number of other reliable servers around the world with DDoS protection and then understand, select and adapt eg EdgeDNS or Czech Knot DNS (which also uses Cloudflare). However, commercial GeoDNS services are relatively cheap and reliable, so we can’t imagine an ROI that would make sense with our own small, non-commercial DNS solution.
What are some alternatives?
