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.

What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes?
In my past job, we used https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio and absolutely loved it. It's not as active but it honestly didn't need much.
-
What are some fun project ideas with C++?
Here's a C++ REST framework for you to use too: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio
- What code/project you saw was both inspiring and maintainable?

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I had a good experience using restinio for a small ASIO HTTP server recently.

Can I use C++ in the backend ?? Any frameworks there ??
It uses restinio https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio with great success ;)

Confused about beginning application development using c++. Pls help.
For networking, pick a networking library. Restinio is a fair choice for HTTP. But, again, feel free to pick others.

NodeJS vs Go for low memory usage
You may find this worthwhile: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio/issues/101 FWIW, I used Restbed successfully for 3.5 years before switching personal projects to Restino. I've left the job that used Restbed, but I think they are still using it.

What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use?
Contrary to the direction most people go, I've been writing REST APIs as C++ servers using two different fairly full featured C++ REST frameworks: first using https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed and more lately using https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio. These can be peers with any other server, while living on embedded and/or high compute devices for video encode/decode/analysis, deployed ML models, encryption for and remote process communications, model data collection and similar expensive or in-field processing. In both high compute and in-field-no-internet situations creating REST APIs in C++ enables speed and system controls not present in the majority of the mainstream REST frameworks. It's a big world, and here comes ubiquitous high compute...

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
If you need an embedded C++ HTTP server then there are plenty of libraries/frameworks (in random order): Crow, RESTinio, Boost.Beast, cpp-httplib, http_backend, Pistache, RestBed, served, proxygen, Simple-Web-Server, drogon, oat++.

Appending to an std:string character-by-character: how does the capacity grow?
Yeah, it's nice! And Abseil does it, IFF you use LLVM libc++.
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/master/absl/string...
The standard adopted it as resize_and_overwrite. Which I think is a little clunky.

Shaving 40% Off Google’s B-Tree Implementation with Go Generics
This may be confusing to those familiar with Google's libraries. The baseline is the Go BTree, which I personally never heard of until just now, not the C++ absl::btree_set. The benchmarks aren't directly comparable, but the C++ version also comes with good microbenchmark coverage.

[R] AlphaDev discovers faster sorting algorithms
I wouldn't say it's that cryptic. It's just a few bitwise rotations/shifts/xor operations.

Deepmind Alphadev: Faster sorting algorithms discovered using deep RL
You can see hashing optimizations as well https://www.deepmind.com/blog/alphadev-discovers-faster-sort..., https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/commit/74eee2aff683cc7d...
I was one of the members who reviewed expertly what has been done both in sorting and hashing. Overall it's more about assembly, finding missed compiler optimizations and balancing between correctness and distribution (in hashing in particular).
It was not revolutionary in a sense it hasn't found completely new approaches but converged to something incomprehensible for humans but relatively good for performance which proves the point that optimal programs are very inhuman.
Note that for instructions in sorting, removing them does not always lead to better performance, for example, instructions can run in parallel and the effect can be less profound. Benchmarks can lie and compiler could do something differently when recompiling the sort3 function which was changed. There was some evidence that the effect can come from the other side.
For hashing it was even funnier, very small strings up to 64 bit already used 3 instructions like add some constant -> multiply 64x64 -> xor upper/lower. For bigger ones the question becomes more complicated, that's why 9-16 was a better spot and it simplified from 2 multiplications to just one and a rotation. Distribution on real workloads was good, it almost passed smhasher and we decided it was good enough to try out in prod. We did not rollback as you can see from abseil :)
But even given all that, it was fascinating to watch how this system was searching and was able to find particular programs can be further simplified. Kudos to everyone involved, it's a great incremental change that can bring more results in the future.
