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.

Show HN: Happy Pi day with this PWA to cut 100k Pi digits offline
It uses service workers to cache static files, by the time it opens up you already free to be offline, try toggle network switch to verify.
It has download link at bottom of the about page ([accdoo.app/about]) which you could then self host it by dropping into any static hosting services.
btw, the Pi feature was by-product from the original App but I won't expand here, if you'd like to learn more, please checkout its two Show HN post (39115559 and 39138957) previously.

Can you make your own JavaScript by implementing ECMAScript standard?
I think QuickJS, written in C, is a user-"friendly" starting point for implementing ECMA-262. Documentation QuickJS Javascript Engine.

New QuickJS Release
There is a readme on the project's main page: https://bellard.org/quickjs/
The newsworthy bit here is that the activity seemed to have stalled for year or two and now Fabrice pushed a few fixes and made a new release.

GitHub
Just to demonstrate GitHub repositories do not necessarily reflect upon a programmers' body of work, Fabrice Bellard has one (1) repository published on GitHub, quickjs. Compare the list of work on Bellard's home page https://bellard.org/.

WinterJS
> I am still confused, it's a JavaScript runtime intended to be deployed to JavaScript/Wasm runtimes?
Seemingly.
> Why does a JavaScript runtime need a JavaScript runtime?
Because if you want to create a Service Worker server for CloudFlare Workers and other JavaScript/Wasm runtimes, that's the only option for doing that AFAIK.
FWIW, this isn't a new idea. For example, Figma uses QuickJS (https://bellard.org/quickjs/) for their plug-in runtime: https://www.figma.com/blog/an-update-on-plugin-security/

Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest?
SerenityOS replicates that look and feel. It is also implemented in a dialect of C++ that adheres to some of the good parts of C++98: https://serenityos.org

XZ: A Microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects
One example of a useful technique
https://serenityos.org/ apparently only makes source code available. There are no binary images of the OS to install
I think Andreas said this functions like a little test -- if you're not willing to build it from source, then you probably wouldn't be a good contributor anyway.
---
Likewise, my shell project provides source tarballs only, right now - https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.21.0/
It is packaged in a number of places, which I appreciate. That means some other people are willing to do some work.
And they provide good feedback.
I would like it to be more widely available, but yeah I definitely see that you need to "gate" peanut gallery feedback a bit, because it takes up a lot of time.
Of course, it's a tricky balance, because you also want feedback from casual users, to make the project better.

Fuzzing Ladybird with tools from Google Project Zero
Indeed, given the existence of `JS::NonnullGCPtr`, `JS::GcPtr` intentionally corresponds to a nullable pointer, so it seems dangerous to convert one to a reference without a null-check.
That said, a naive code search finds what *may* be more cases of this pattern:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ASerenityOS%2Fserenity+%2F...
Eg: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065... -> https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065...
In some of those search results, it is fine because there is a preceding null-check, and obviously I know nothing about this code other than this naive search result, but perhaps it would be prudent to vet all of them.

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
My contributions to SerenityOS[0] helped me get my current job. My team lead (who was also my interviewer) was interested in what I did since I listed some of it in my CV, and I showed him some PRs I made and explained what went into each of them. It was really exciting because I didn't have professional experience with low-level development, and basically got the job due to hobby programming.
