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.

Microsoft opens sources ThreadX RTOS used in Raspberry Pis
It is not open source. The source code is open but with an evaluation, i.e. proprietary license:

Eclipse ThreadX
License looked alright, until I came across this: https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/a8e5d0946c31385ff...

PlatformIO and Zephyr is a bad idea
Portability, mainly. Zephyr runs on a wide variety of architectures and 450+ variations of popular boards are already supported upstream (adding more often being pretty easy). In your particular example, your own preferences with regards to building on top of open-source software may play a role too. For example, Azure RTOS is not open source, and its license will, among other things, prevent you to use it in production on other hardware than what's listed herehere. So easily moving from one hardware vendor / SoC to the other might be a problem, should this be a requirement (and it kind of becomes one for a lot of people in these times if silicon shortage)

Linux vs. QNX/VxWorks for a climate control system - Education
Honestly as long as you use one of the supported MCU families ThreadX is probably a better choice these days given how much better NetX is over FreeRTOS’ TCP implementation.

As a guess, what percentage of embedded projects actually need the R in RTOS?
Azure RTOS/ThreadX is only free on approved pre-licensed uCs, but with that said, there's a ton of devices covered by it so it's an option for a lot of projects.

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I'm interested in something equivalent to tx_byte_pool but for non-embedded usage where I want a custom allocator for defined pools. Do you know if mimalloc can do this? I see it has custom heaps, but I didn't see any functions to create one from raw memory.

Thoughts? They look great though!
source is apparently available but no idea what licensing it uses

How to convert an enum to string in C++
I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/
It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready solution.
-
What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
IIRC I then switched to another library doing the same stuff: https://github.com/aantron/better-enums It is not as magical, as it uses a special macro to define the enum, using dedicated syntax. So it only works for enums you yourself define. However, it did work a lot better for me with enums with huge values.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!

let's all be chads
If you need a laugh today, look at Better Enums library for C++. If you thought moving from C to C++ would let you leave macros behind, think again! Enums in C++ still suck (a bit less than in C though), so someone built a library to help with that. And it's built on macros. So you can only have 64 entries per enum. And the library's code is barely readable.
