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.

The wild west of Windows command line parsing
TBH, I would rely on the algorithm as implemented in the latest CRT (I believe a relatively fresh mirror can be found here) - that's likely what a program compiled against it will receive. There's an opposite (argv→command line) function there as well.

How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%
Looks like it has a reason: https://github.com/huangqinjin/ucrt/blob/a52376780e631fb0e5d520748addb03651aef0b5/stdio/input.cpp#L95-L98

Rumors of GTA online exploits allowing remote code execution on gamer PCs
Everyone should keep in mind that this is the same game whose client-update-handshake-dance largely consisted of an enormous JSON of all the updates that had ever been done to the gamestate, which then got parsed naively. This situation was recognized and patched [0] by an interested third party [1].
Not a slight against the code monkey that implemented it that way, because they surely didn't bother to think about complexity consequences when the gamestate was new and the JSON wasn't 10MB yet, but a slight on Rockstar, because the cash cow that GTA:O turned out to be deserves some fuckin' maintenance, doesn't it? Then again, the eye-popping prevalence of hax0rs in Rockstar games probably ought to signify priorities to even the most casual observer. As others in these comments observe, with what those hackers can achieve, it's not surprising to learn there's RCEs too.

Kiddion's Status
The update was in line with the work of a guy named t0st, who found out why the loading times were so slow in the start and he made a [proof of concept fix](https://github.com/tostercx/GTAO_Booster_PoC) which Rockstar has awarded him $10,000 irl for.
