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.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
We maintain a couple of popular ksuid libraries[1][2] and use it, so we definitely like ksuid. Though one big issue with ksuid is that being 160bit means that it doesn't fit into native uuid types in databases (e.g. postgres), which means that they come with a performance penalty.

Show HN: A Pure Rust Ksuid Implementation
I wasn't going to post it here because it feels a bit small for a show HN, but then I figured: why not. :)
It's a pure Rust implementation of Segement's KSUID, and I created this library while working on Svix[0].
I haven't written any Rust for a while, so even though I have written quite a bit of Rust code in the past (see Etebase[1]), I'm a bit rusty (no pun intended).
Anyhow, I just wanted to share, and I'm hoping to get some feedback if you have any. :)
Code and examples: https://github.com/svix/rust-ksuid/
P.S, the package is tested for compatibility against the reference Go implementation.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
The authors have created a specialisation for Postgres that leverages a custom type which is a tuple of type and uuidv7: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-sql/blob/main/sql/typei...
This is more optimal for Postgres while making it slightly more difficult to interop between the db and the language (db driver needs to handle custom types, and you need to inject a custom type converter).
And while there are hacks you can do to make storing uuid-alikes as strings less terrible for db engines, if you want the best performance and smallest space consumption (compressed or not) make sure to use native ID types or convert to BINARY/numeric types.
