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.

Real-World Engineering Challenges: Migrations
This has been recognized for a long time.
Those change-over things are really severe. Really severe problems. - Joseph Henry Condon, Bell Labs ... via https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup
However, we have much better tools now, such as high availability clustering, distributed architectures, middleware proxies, protocol-level support for temporary failures and retries, mature caching systems and fault tolerant hardware and software infrastructure. So it's practically not as hard as it once was, because if you've got your ducks in a row you can use a proven method or get fallbacks for free.

Do we need a better understanding of 'progress'?
In a sense, we have the printing press, but people are still illiterate.

How about China?
IMHO the problem here in China is the politicization of education and media which denies individual ideas and experience from the earliest years, illogically burdening children with unnavigable quantities of take-home homework and suffocating the analytical thought and independent curiosity that are so critical for research and development. It is as if no research in to pedagogy occurred since the 1920s, and individuals still belong to a numbered local production collective, except that now it is titled a "Number X Middle School". They literally give out little flags to children as young as pre-school, it's full on nationalism every day here.

78 minutes of advice from YC founders and partners
If you like snippets in text consider the unix fortune tradition, I maintain https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup which produces bitesized memes in glorious ANSI color. Some startuppy, mostly software architecture/design focus, some more broad anthropology/history. Aim is a high signal to noise ratio and consistently inspirational/curveball thinking.

Rights have to be regulated in to existence or actively fought for. These days the populace is so zoned out on Tiktok and home delivery the chances of a popular movement are precisely zero unless toward a new TV serial.

It's because they changed the versioning format: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases?page=5

Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries
For at least 4 years protobuf has had decent support for self-describing messages (very similar to avro) as well as reflection
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
Xgooglers trying to make do on the cheap will just create a Union of all their messages and include the message def in a self-describing message pattern. Super-sensitive network I/O can elide the message def (empty buffer) and any for RecordIO clone well file compression takes care of the definition.
Definitely useful to be able to dig out old defs but protobuf maintainers have surprisingly added useful features so you don’t have to.
Bonus points tho for extracting the protobuf defs that e.g. Apple bakes into their binaries.

Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not
> didn’t find any standard for separating protobuf messages
The fact that protobufs are not self-delimiting is an endless source of frustration, but I know of 2 standards:
- SerializeDelimited* is part of the protobuf library: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
- Riegeli is "a file format for storing a sequence of string records, typically serialized protocol buffers. It supports dense compression, fast decoding, seeking, detection and optional skipping of data corruption, filtering of proto message fields for even faster decoding, and parallel encoding": https://github.com/google/riegeli

Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf
It looks like it is in fact universal. Just glancing at the code here, it looks like the tool searches any arbitrary file for bytes that look like encoded protobuf descriptors, specifically looking for bytes that are plausibly the beginning of a FileDescriptorProto message defined here:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
This takes advantage of the fact that such descriptors are commonly compiled into programs that use protobuf. The descriptors are usually embedded as constant byte arrays. That said, not all protobuf implementations embed the descriptors and those that do often have an option to inhibit such embedding (at the expense of losing some dynamic introspection features).
