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.

Code Search Is Hard
https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum
The hardest part about getting code search right imo is grabbing the right amount of surrounding context, which septum is aimed at solving on a per-file basis.
Another one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is stack-graphs (https://github.com/github/stack-graphs), which tries to incrementally resolve symbolic relationships across the whole codebase. It powers github's cross-file precise indexing and conceptually makes a lot of sense, though I've struggled to get the open source version to work

Getting Ada into the mainstream (Dec 1990 edition ^^)
I do a lot of weird and experimental work in Ada. Some of it works, whereas a lot of it doesn't. While I have done this sort of work in Python, Ruby, Rust, C or C++ in the past, when I do it in Ada, I end up saving time later on since the language forces many "good practices."

Septum 0.0.7 released (experimental Mac support)
I'd appreciate any issues or suggestions you want to report on GitHub to help me improve this.

Zig self hosted compiler is now capable of building itself
Ada is another option without a GC. I wrote a search tool for large codebases with it (https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum), and the easy multitasking and pinning to CPUs allows you to easily go wide if the problem you're solving supports it.
There's very little allocation since it supports returning VLAs (like strings) from functions via a secondary stack. Its Alire tool does the toolchain install and provides package management, so trying the language out is super easy. I've done a few bindings to things in C with it, which is ridiculously easy.

April 2022 What Are You Working On?
I mentioned my project Septum in a HackerNews comment, which caused it to pick up over 200 GitHub stars. That seemed to give Ada some publicity since it's a general purpose tool, so I'll also publish a new up-to-date version (0.0.6) here soon.

Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?
I work on code bases with millions of lines, so I wrote a tool called Septum to help me (https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum/). This isn't to replace grep or ripgrep or silver searcher, those are all great tools you should have!
Septum is neighborhood based (context-based) search, so you can find contiguous groups of lines which contain specific things, but exclude other things. It's also interactive so you can add/remove filters as needed. This makes it useful for those cases where terms change based on their context so you can exclude terms related to the contexts you don't want to keep. It reads .septum/config which contains its normal commands to load directories and settings, so you can have different configs per project you're working on.

Ada Crate of the Year: Interactive code search

What Did You Work On in 2021?
I also did a few things: - Wrote an online e-book about Ada - Septum - context-based source code search for multi-million line codebases (I use this nearly every day at work. It's being submitted as my Ada crate of the year. - dir_iterators - library similar to the incredible walkdir. - project_indicators - library for spinners and progress bars. - trendy_terminal - library for cross-platform terminal setup, VT100 support, and GNU readline-like behavior. - trendy_test - library for simple unit testing, which runs tests in parallel. - Ada Ray Tracer - an Ada port of Ray Tracing in One Weekend. - dirs_to_graphviz - Make graphviz files from directory trees. - rst_tables - a tool to draw RST table outlines.

Gitlab Duo
Since the relevant code appears to be in the "ee" directory <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v16.11.0-ee/ee/l...> and is not present in the foss repo, I'm guessing the answer is no, at least for now. They do have a history of "releasing" features from EE back to CE but my suspicion is not for LLM stuff

Client side Git hooks 101
(Side note: Issues are usually hash-prefixed like #1234 both on GitLab and GitHub. However, commit messages must not begin with a hash, they would be considered a comment and ignored. Therefore, GitHub has introduced the alternative prefix GH- and I've contributed a similar prefix GL- to GitLab a while ago.)

BuildKit in depth: Docker's build engine explained
and its "oh, you want multi-arch, do you?" friend. While prosecuting this <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/339567> I learned that https://hub.docker.com/layers/multiarch/qemu-user-static/7.2... actually mutates the binfmt_misc in buildx's context in order to exec the static copy of qemu in it https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/blob/v7.2.0-1/...
and, that the buildx plugin itself has some qemu magick in it, which got addressed in a minor version bump but I couldn't track down the relevant GitHub issue this second (I've flushed it from my mind, only recalling that there were a lot of actors in that tire fire)
