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.

Launch HN: Drifting in Space (YC W22) – A server process for every user
In the case of containers it gets tricky because of how it interacts with the scheduler (e.g. if a node is idle but has a bunch of paused containers that could be unpaused at any time, the scheduler has to decide how to proceed), but I love the concept. It's something I've thought a bit about in a world where the server can be compiled to WebAssembly, because it's imaginable to suspend it and serialize the memory state so that it can be sent off to storage somewhere and pulled out when the next request comes in. This was actually part of the motivation behind a library I wrote called Stateroom (https://github.com/drifting-in-space/stateroom), which creates a stateful WebSocket server as a WebAssembly module, but I haven't yet implemented the ability to freeze the state of the module between requests.

I was also been underwhelmed by options in this area, so I've been working on a Rust library called Jamsocket[1]. The idea is that all you need to do is implement a trait, overload the functions for the events you want to handle (new connection, message, etc.) and deploy it.
I still need to work on production aspects of it, but it's in a state where you can play with it for local development, so I figured I'd share it here in case any Rust developers want to tinker with it.

Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment
Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too
I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.
Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.
For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Plunder and Urbit
Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.
That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

Cap'n Proto 1.0
I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.
If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.
So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.
https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.
Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.
Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...
