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.

A year of building for the terminal
"Seems smooth to me" is a thing people constantly say, at this point I just assume everyone's blind to lag. I'll wait for the benchmarks.

Jonathan Blow on how Microsoft responded to Windows Terminal suggestions
> (4) Casey sits down and writes termbench, to illustrate his point (https://github.com/cmuratori/termbench); it is indeed orders of magnitude faster than Windows Terminal, and proves his point decisively.
This is actually pretty interesting. Is there something similar specifically for linux?

Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal for the modern age
I just ran a quick test using Casey Muratori's termbench (https://github.com/cmuratori/termbench) you are an order of magnitude slower than Alacritty, and also significantly slower than iTerm. Warp also locks up pretty severely and only shows a new frame once every few seconds during most of the run.

Windows 11 available on October 5
> Am I the only one who really enjoys Windows 11 so far?
Probably not, but consider that people have a lot of different use cases for their computer and a lot of different priorities and Microsoft has been pretty consistent lately about ignoring pretty much any of them that aren't "I really wish my desktop were a clunky tablet".
> I really like the new UI which feels more modern and harmonic
Subjective, but feeling more modern is precisely the opposite of what I want in a UI. Modern means slow and cumbersome with lots of wasted space, sparse options, and unreadable widgets.
> Control Panel is still in there somewhere but why should I care?
Control Panel had nothing wrong with it and probably still has settings options that are missing from the new ones?
> new GPU accelerated Terminal is really nice
It's performance is remarkably terrible for something that's GPU accelerated. Casey Muratori has said a lot about it. https://github.com/cmuratori/termbench and https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm were a result. It doesn't mean a lot in terms of quality of Windows 11, I just think it is a good illustration of modern Windows team's development practices.
> Does it have tons of telemetry, cruft from 20 years in the kernel and some rough edges?
Cruft is fine because it is there for backwards compat, which is huge for a tone of desktop use cases. Linux Kernel has a ton of cruft too for the same reason. Telemetry is bullshit and wastes my computer's resources to effectively spy on me.
> Is the hardware requirements a bit ridiculous?
The hardware requirements are very ridiculous. Windows 11 is not revolutionary, but somehow manages to require twice the minimum specs of ten in some metrics, and a TPM module.
> To each their own I guess but it sometimes feels a bit depressing how HN crowd trashes every OS.
They all have problems, big problems, so they all deserve it. I find it more remarkable that people consistently try to say that everything is actually ok!
> Is everyone here still using C64, Windows 2000 or OS9 because it „was the last good system“?
God I wish they were still viable.

How fast should an unoptimized terminal run?
Not just Windows. While this is specifically about Windows, you can view this as at least a baseline for terminals: thousands of fps are within reach. If you're barely reaching a few dozen, or less, you're doing something wrong.
See also his benchmark for terminals: https://github.com/cmuratori/termbench
When looking into the issue further, he made a benchmark for the terminal: termbench. On the issue he made, him and a couple others found that the Windows Terminal was spending a large amount of time parsing VT codes. A fair bit of this bottleneck was due to std::string and std::vector resizing.

Terminal commands I use as a frontend developer
I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.

Vercel claiming credit for making Webpack
At the time we were listing projects like Hyper and Micro alongside our other better known ones. As those projects became less of a focus, I believe someone with good intentions in the team wanted to prioritize the ones we contribute to instead that are relevant to our frontend focus, and not confuse our audience.

A cyberpunk dark theme for prolonged use, color-blind safe, now supports such as VSCode, Vim, iTerm2, Terminal.app, and more, with continuous support being added.
