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.

Got my first c# software engineering job, any advice?
But to go deeper to .NET/CLR architecture is important too. Try to understand how it works inside. Use the source, Luke! https://source.dot.net/ https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ This source code vaults is not completed then try JetBrains dotPeek tool to look at any assembly source code.

Why your F# evangelism isn't working
List is an IList/IReadOnlyList; these interfaces do nothing that couldn't be done right inside the file itself.
https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#mscorlib/system/colle...
https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#mscorlib/system/colle...
Instead we have to go diving through the IList, which implements ICollection, which implements IEnumerable, which implements IEnumerable (again). Just because each interface is composed of another interface, doesn't mean you aren't using inheritance. You are effectively creating a custom inheritance tree through willy-nilly composition.
It is gratuitous to make this chain so deep, when the underlying code is just a handful of lines.

Ask HN: What book you recommend for advanced programming in C#?
Assuming if you are new to C# - start coding! And start reading https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tour-of-csha...
If you are not new to C#, start building an application end-to-end/a classic n-tier application, right from using a database, Entity Framework, WebAPI, DTO, AutoMapper, and a front-end (your choice - Angular/React/Vue with TypeScript or better yet - Blazor).
You will not only understand & use dependency injection, reflection, LINQ, multi-threaded programming, generic programming, source-code generation, unit-testing - and much much more in a practical/real-world usage.
Peruse https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ once in a while.
Follow various team members of .NET Framework, C# team and the like on various social-media. https://mobile.twitter.com/i/lists/120961876
I am sure there will be who agree / disagree with the above approach and will provide more viewpoints for you to consider.
Enjoy - and strap yourself for an amazing journey or roller-coaster ride, however you want to call it!

Sharing Saturday #459
I did get confirmation that the actual kill has been postponed to .Net 9.0 rather than .Net 8.0 . However, that PR is factually wrong regarding when System.Runtime.Serialization use became opt-in -- I had to counter-adjust Rogue Survivor Revived to opt into using System.Runtime.Serialization for .Net 7.0, last November i.e. Nov 2022.

Resources to learn the F# ecosystem
The main thing they do is to list projects so that you can open a solution and see a set of projects, or build a solution and build everything there. They also give a lot of customization and fortunately it's rare that you need to know anything about that. It does feel somewhat unnecessary since you should be able to open a project with its dependencies. Hopefully solution files are going to be cleaned up: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/1730

Build to order? Checking MSBuild for the second time
Since the previous check, the project has grown a lot. Our analyzer has become more advanced, too. This only makes this task more interesting! Despite the high quality of the MSBuild product and the well-known name of its creator, we again managed to find some issues in MSBuild's source code. The project is almost entirely written in C#. You can see it on GitHub. We took the code from this commit.

How can I compile a C# program with a different version of glibc?
msbuild is the "make" system, but for .Net. Those .csproj files are just makefiles by another name. Also, msbuild is not Windows-only. The readme specifically states that it can run on Unix (and Unix-like) systems that support .Net Core.

The most interesting C# / .NET blogs and websites
You can't do without source files when you want to better understand what is happening "under the hood" of a particular system. For example, do you want to improve your understanding of how types from the standard library work? The source code of .NET Framework and .NET will help you to do that. Do you want to dig deeper into the compiler? No problem - here is the Roslyn's source code at your service. Do you need to look inside the build system? Here you go - the MSBuild code is also open-source. By the way, if you are interested in build processes, you may also find MSBuild Structured Log Viewer useful. It's a tool that allows you to work with MSBuild build logs in a convenient format.
