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 (Detailed & Creative) Playbook for More GitHub Stars
I used tools (such at this one and this one) to see what other repos our stargazers were starring most frequently. The stargazers of these "other" commonly starred repos became an expanded pool of potential stargazers for Preevy

Analysing Github Stars - Extracting and analyzing data from Github using Apache NiFi®, Apache Kafka® and Apache Druid®
Spencer Kimball (now CEO at CockroachDB) wrote an interesting article on this topic in 2021 where they created spencerkimball/stargazers based on a Python script. So I started thinking: could I create a data pipeline using Nifi and Kafka (two OSS tools often used with Druid) to get the API data into Druid - and then use SQL to do the analytics? The answer was yes! And I have documented the outcome below. Here’s my analytical pipeline for Github stars data using Nifi, Kafka and Druid.

Ask HN: Why so many projects set their GitHub links to /stargazers?
It's analytics. Google search brings up
https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/what-can-we-learn-from-ou...
"Years ago I dedicated a Flex Friday (our version of 20% time) to stargazers, a tool to query the CockroachDB repository for information about its GitHub stars and analyze the results. At the time of writing, we had 6,000+ stars (which felt like a lot), and the data in this blog will be based on that original set of 6,000 stargazers."
Which links to
https://github.com/spencerkimball/stargazers
"GitHub allows visitors to star a repo to bookmark it for later perusal. Stars represent a casual interest in a repo, and when enough of them accumulate, it's natural to wonder what's driving interest. Stargazers attempts to get a handle on who these users are by finding out what else they've starred, which other repositories they've contributed to, and who's following them on GitHub."

4500 people starred Appsmith on Github. What do we know about them?
Go ahead and use the Stargazers repo yourself to analyze yours (or anyone else’s) repo’s trends. Depending upon the number of Stargazers you have, it can take some time. It took us about 7-8 hours (with a 5K/Hr rate limit).

Is it bad to create a publicly accessible RDS database for my serverless web app?
For example, when you create a serverless postgres database with a platform like CockroachDB or Neon, you effectively get a connection string with a strong password. Anyone can connect to your database from anywhere so long as they have the right connection string. There are no security settings in these services to change this behavior.

Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
> Yes you can on the android emulator. The biggest issue is compu arch in that case.
I can also download VirtualBox and run all Windows programs, that would mean that all Windows apps are Linux apps?
> Yes you can for the most part
You can't statically link glibc: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/3392
glibc can break stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/08/valve-dev-understandab...
I had binaries break because the newer version if openssl was put under a slightly different name.

Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it?
I know that some projects like cockroach use custom build tools like bazel. But we actually really like to use to be able to build our projects simply with the great go toolchain and don't really aim to dive deep into custom build solutions.

Eli5: Why do companies use the products of Oracle to store information, when they can just use spreadsheets like Excel, or make their own spreadsheet software?
CockroachDB is designed to be globally distributed. It has to handle causality when resolving collisions. It has to account for having a write operation to arrive after another and still have time priority because it was sent out a few milliseconds earlier.

rage - a minimalistic load testing tool
Cockroachdb created a go runtime patch which measures the Grunning time of a goroutine: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/82356. It doesn't entirely solve the problem though.

Data Engineering Tools in Go
Our entire backend is written in Go. We've built a platform that allows other companies to offer automatic data syncing to their customers' data warehouses. Go works great for building distributed systems like this (see K8s). We're not the only ones in the space building data intensive applications with Go. Pachyderm, Pinecone, Cockroach Labs and are all also doing it. We've been quite happy with how Go has worked for us.
