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.

Dependencies Belong in Version Control
vcpkg may expire assets after 1.5 years, so achieve long-term reproducibility you will need to cache your dependencies.... Somewhere. Not sure what the expected solution is.

My first Software Release using GitHub Release
There were various approaches recommended depending on our language and ecosystem. My classmates who developed using Node.js were recommended npm, and PyPI or poetry for Python. Since my program is written in C++, I was recommended to look into one of vcpkg or conan, but I ultimately did not use either package manager.

Anyone else frustrated with Conan2?
Which dependencies are not in vcpkg? We can ask them to add it. It’s pretty easy just open an issue there https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues .

Configuring incomplete due to CMake Error(missing OpenCVConfig.cmake ProtobufConfig.cmake and TIFF etc.)
Dear Fictrac team, I am hoping to install Fictrac in our windows 11 x64 laptop (Visual Studio 2019, cMake 3.26.4). I followed the installation guideline on github page fictrac and used the latest vcpkg

Why does Arch Linux have a vulkan-devel group, but does not package the LunarG Vulkan SDK?
This works fine if one wants to do stuff like clang main.cpp -lvulkan, or even find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED) in CMake, but it doesn't define VULKAN_SDK, and therefore doesn't work with vcpkg's Vulkan support, for instance. A fair bit of Vulkan development, tutorials, etc. assume that the entire SDK is installed, as-is.

Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools."
> Are we talking about the same autotools?
Yes. Instead of figuring out how to do something particular with every single software package, I can do a --with-foo or --without-bar or --prefix=/opt/baz-1.2.3, and be fairly confident that it will work the way I want.
Certainly with package managers or (FreeBSD) Ports a lot is taken care of behind the scenes, but the above would also help the package/port maintainers as well. Lately I've been using Spack for special-needs compiles, but maintainer ease also helps there, but there are still cases one a 'fully manual' compile is still done.
> Suffice it to say, I prefer to work with handwritten makefiles.
Having everyone 'roll their own' system would probably be worse, because any "mysteriously failure" then has to be debugged specially for each project.
Have you tried Spack?

The Curious Case of MD5
> I can't count the number of times I've seen people say "md5 is fine for use case xyz" where in some counterintuitive way it wasn't fine.
I can count many more times that people told me that md5 was "broken" for file verification when, in fact, it never has been.
My main gripe with the article is that it portrays the entire legal profession as "backwards" and "deeply negligent" when they're not actually doing anything unsafe -- or even likely to be unsafe. And "tech" knows better. Much of tech, it would seem, has no idea about the use cases and why one might be safe or not. They just know something's "broken" -- so, clearly, we should update.
> Just use a safe one, even if you think you "don't need it".
Here's me switching 5,700 or so hashes from md5 to sha256 in 2019: https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/13185
Did I need it? No. Am I "compliant"? Yes.
Really, though, the main tangible benefit was that it saved me having to respond to questions and uninformed criticism from people unnecessarily worried about md5 checksums.

Cython 3.0 Released
In Spack [1] we can express all these constraints for the dependency solver, and we also try to always re-cythonize sources. The latter is because bundled cythonized files are sometimes forward incompatible with Python, so it's better to just regenerate those with an up to date cython.

Linux server for physics simulations
You want to look at the tools used for HPC systems, these are generally very well tried and tested and can be setup for single machine usage. Remote access - we use ssh, but web interfaces such as Open On Demand exist - https://openondemand.org/. For managing Jobs, Slurm is currently the most popular option - https://slurm.schedmd.com/documentation.html. For a module system (to load software and libraries per user), Spack is a great - https://spack.io/. You might also want to consider containerisation options, https://apptainer.org/ is a good option.
