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.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (25/2023)!
Project "safe transmute"

[Media] This is kinda cool
In this case a simple From implementation or anything like that won't be different, even performance wise. For more complex cases there's project-safe-transmute, but that will still require you to annotate your structs in such a way that their layouts will be guaranteed to be compatible, which you're not currently doing.

Turning a slice of structs into a slice of floats without copying?
You might also be interested in the project safe transmute, which might bring safe transmutes like these to stdlib in the future.

That's probably a job for the safe transmute project

Rudra: Rust Memory Safety & Undefined Behavior Detection
One of the biggest notable examples is unsafe transmutes that could be safe. In fact there's a safe transmute working group trying to cover these cases. Just to give an example, if you have a #[repr(transparent)] newtype, it could be possible to safely transmute from a reference of an inner type to the type it wraps (for e.g. 1-tuple or 1-field structs), but doing that now presently requires unsafe.

Jokes aside, there is actually a work on going for making a subset of transmutes safe: https://github.com/rust-lang/project-safe-transmute

Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.
