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.

Let's meet Black: Python Code Formatting
Black uses by default the pyproject.toml file. This file contains a section for each different tool we want to use. The use of a configuration file like pyproject.toml is quite a good choice and helps the contributors to use the same tools and configurations you're using.

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)

Read it on https://toml.io/ (Full spec on upper-right… with its evolutions up to final 1.00 version).

Ask HN: Do you read Secrets from Environment Variables
The Command Line Interface Guidelines [1] says:
> Do not read secrets from environment variables
> Secrets should only be accepted via credential files, pipes, `AF_UNIX` sockets, secret management services, or another IPC mechanism
Which one of these do you use? On github it seems common for projects to use environment variables for secrets.

Command Line Interface Guidelines
Seems they took a small step back from their previous "don't bother with man pages" stance. Now it's "Consider providing man pages."
I still find it a rather shocking order of priority, honestly.

Ask HN: Best way to do scoped commands in a CLI app
- E. `blah project foo --edit`
Wondering if there was any guidance on this from the UNIX people. Perhaps scoping should be done using the file system. `cd path/to/project && blah edit`. Like git does with `git --cwd=path/to/project`. Maybe a virtual FS could even be used. Then you wouldn't have to continuously type in the scope with each command. Interesting thinking about how to maintain state in the terminal...thinking about how Python's virtual env bin/activate modifies the shell.
Found an interesting guide here: https://clig.dev/
