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.

The Future of MySQL is PostgreSQL: an extension for the MySQL wire protocol
This is probably referring to "zero changes to your driver code" and not "zero changes to the SQL you send over this driver".
Translating between SQL dialects is notoriously hard and attempts to translate [1] are working in 95% of cases. But the last 5% would require 5x amount of work. That's because "SQL dialect" also includes weird edge cases of type inference of things like COALESCE(5, FALSE) and emulation of system catalogs (pg_catalog, information_schema).

Transpile Any SQL to PostgreSQL Dialect
Recommend checking out https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot if you are interested in this capability for other SQL dialects
Tools like this are helpful for:

Build the dependency graph of your BigQuery pipelines at no cost: a Python implementation
In the project we used Python lib networkx and a DiGraph object (Direct Graph). To detect a table reference in a Query, we use sqlglot, a SQL parser (among other things) that works well with Bigquery.

Linus Torvalds adds arbitrary tabs to kernel code
i want a diff tool that shows me exactly which tokens have changed, and which haven't, regardless of how they are laid out.
These already exist: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic
when we get that, then we should get even less merge conflicts.
Counterintuitively, that is not the case. AST-merge is a much, much, much, much, much harder problem than AST-diff.
https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic?tab=readme-ov-file#can...
The fact that diffs can be used to drive a 3-way merge is in fact an accidental property that arises due to the sheer crudeness of the diff format. As soon as you start using more-sophisticated diff formats, solutions to "the diff problem" no longer lead directly to solutions to "the merge problem".

Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
Yes there is an `—-override` option you can use to specify the language in which a file should be parsed.

Prettier $20k Bounty was Claimed
If you're looking for a VS Code extension or a GitHub app, check out https://semanticdiff.com/. I'm a co-founder of this project.
If you prefer a CLI tool, check out https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic. It supports more languages, but doesn't recognize when code has been replaced by an equivalent version ("invariances"). So it will show some changes (e.g. replacing a character in a string with an escape sequence) even though they are technically equivalent.

Pijul: Version-Control Post-Git • Goto 2023
Shameless plug: I've written difftastic[1], a tool that builds ASTs and then does a structural diff of them. You can use it with git too.
It's an incredibly hard problem though, both from a computational complexity point of view, and trying to build a comprehensible UI once you've done the structural AST diff.

Always leave a trailing comma in Python lists, dicts, tuples
There is a diff tool called difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic
The idea is that it does not show diff based on text change, but on syntastic meaning. For that, it uses tree-sitter.
I think it still shows the trailing comma in the situation as shown in the article, but it's quite different experience than the standard text based diff.
