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.

We used rbspy to generate the flamegraph:

EventMachine Performance Spikes
You could use rbspy to profile the EventMachine process as it's doing the workload, and try to see there where most of the time is being spent.

Rails Resque - AWS ECS task randomly stuck
Not sure what your issue is and you got some of this info from strace, but FYI rbspy can also help profile where a running Ruby process is spending its time: https://rbspy.github.io/. I think it's a little more helpful than strace in that it should bring it back to Ruby code rather than just showing the raw syscalls.

Optimizing your tests in 5 steps
Even the most general profiler tool will show you each statement's accumulated time. These are called statistical profilers and give you a panoramic view of what the test is doing. An example of such a profiler is rbspy:

Fantastic Symbols and Where to Find Them - Part 2
As a result, you need to craft a specific routine for each interpreter runtime (in some cases, each version of that runtime) to obtain symbol information. Educated eyes might have already noticed, it's not an easy undertaking considering the sheer amount of interpreted languages out there. For example, a very well known Ruby profiler, rbspy, generates code for reading internal structs of the Ruby runtime for each version.

How to use strace on threads managed by supervisor? i.e. i want to ´supervisorctl restart someService´ and strace someService.
For production, it depends on what the process is built with. There are possibly better tracing tools than just strace. For example Java has JMX, Go has pprof. There's also things like rbspy for Ruby.

Why Is JRuby Slow?
I was a bit surprised to find out that the tool used to generate the flamegraph for Ruby (rbspy [1]) is written in Rust. lol

How SerpApi sped up data extraction from HTML from 3s to 800ms (or How to profile and optimize Ruby code and C extension)
c function is not very helpful to find the performance problem, so we dug deeper.

Linus Torvalds adds arbitrary tabs to kernel code
These are a bit easier to see what's going on:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e...
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e61...
Unfortunately Github doesn't have a way to render symbols for whitespace, but you can tell by selecting the spaces that the previous version had leading tabs. Linus changed it so that the tokens `default` and the number e.g. `12` are also separated by a tab. This is tricky, because the token "default" is seven characters, it will always give this added tab a width of 1 char which makes it always layout the same as if it were a space no matter if you use tab widths of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

PfSense Software Embraces Change: A Strategic Migration to the Linux Kernel
There was also a Gentoo effort to run atop FreeBSD[0]. The challenge of course is that afaik none of the BSD kernel ABIs are considered stable. The stable interface is the BSD libc. That said, with binfmt_misc, I don't see a reason you couldn't just run (at least some) FreeBSD binaries on Linux with a thin syscall translation layer (rather something like qemu-system) and then your layer hooked via binfmt_misc. I'm not aware of anyone who has done this for FreeBSD, but prior efforts existed as alternate binfmts for SysVr4/5 ELF binaries[2]. Either way would take some elbow grease, but you *might* even be able just reuse binfmt_elf and just have a new interpreter for FreeBSD elf.

Improvements to static analysis in GCC 14
> The original less-than check was deemed incorrect
It was only deemed incorrect because of an information leak. Not because it's a valid use-case for user space to copy smaller portions of *hwrpb into user space. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21c5977a836e399fc71...

TinyMCE (also) moving from MIT to GPL
Correct. And the combined work needs to carry the MIT license text and copyright attributions for the MIT software authors. With binary distribution it must also be overt, not hidden in some source code drop, but directly accompanying the binary.
Many people who talk about relicensing never credit the MIT developers or distribute the MIT license text. "Because it's GPL now."
I don't think that you believe that, but many developers do.
Some don't see the need for source code scans for Open Source compliance, because the license.txt says GPL, so it's GPL. Prime example is the Linux kernel. There is code under different licenses in there, but people don't even read https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/COPYING till the end ("In addition, other licenses may also apply.") and conclude it's simply GPL 2 and nothing else.
Also be aware that sublicensing is not the same as relicensing.

He notoriously hates GNU Emacs, yes.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
So If we would only count code and not comments, it is only 9489 LoC Rust. Which would be about 0.03% and if we take all lines and not only LoC it would be around 0.05%
