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.

Lichess potentially allowed promotion of pawns to king
Well, only since this year, it seems.

The reason why you need good, thorough tests when writing chess engines
From another reddit thread I got the link to the commit with the fix. Thankfully, they did add a test case for this: https://github.com/lichess-org/scalachess/commit/f5218340b2a229fa519ecd239fe50aee722bcd0f

lichess doesn't let me capture en passant in the game, only in the analysis board
To be fair, that TODO has only been there for three weeks, which seems reasonable, especially considering it was written by a volunteer.
- Why does nobody play Capablanca chess anymore, while Fisher random is quite popular?
-
White to move. This position is a win in lichess, draw in chess.com.
Lichess does not check for mate. It simply doesn't consider KBvKN a drawn endgame.
- Where can I find lines to test my new music-memory technique?

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
https://github.com/lichess-org/scalachess/tree/master/src/ma...
It's funny because I remember comparing it to mine that I had tried to write during college, and appreciating how much better it is.
Pay attention to how there's a bunch of different types of chess in there too, and how that's factored.

A writeup on definitions of "insufficient material"
The Lichess implementation is as follows:
-
How chess websites define insufficient mating material.
The Lichess implementation does not fully comply with those rules. It looks strictly at the material on the board.
-
Always wondered if lichess is smart enough to notice this is a draw
For reference, here's the current implementation.

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
https://pi-hole.net/
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Overwhelmed by a project
Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

- The Internet will win the war against anti ad-block software. YT is very foolish and basically legitimizes piracy with their "business model"
