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.

Ask HN: Keep binaries in system memory never removed till manually done so
VMTouch may be helpful. https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/
Just lock the file into memory using:
```vmtouch -l /path/to/binary```

You're claiming that gnome loads all of itself into memory so that it can be faster. Now there are a few reasons why I don't think that's a reasonable idea, but assuming that you wanted that... using techniques like vmtouch to keep the files in the disk cache would make it so that gnome wasn't actually using the full 1GB. The "cached" files could be evicted from the cache if some other program needed that memory. Where as loading all of gnome in at startup regardless of whether it's actually used is probably not a good idea.

What's limiting PC RAM size?
It is a mainstream thing. It's enabled by default on every Windows install, as far as I know, although you may not be impressed by its understanding of what your frequently opened programs are. It's been about ten years since I ran Windows, but I used to have a batch script to read everything in a directory so that it would be in the disk cache and subsequent accesses would come from RAM. The Linux equivalent of my script is vmtouch, although that's a lot more full-featured.

Integral Calculator
Compile ITS and just run :macsyma at the DDT prompt (shell/debugger) from ITS:

The syntax it's the same, I even made a plot and 'printed' into the host from an ARDS output from the plot command, by converting the file into PPM->PNG or PPM->PDF.

Research Unix Sixth Edition (WASM)
ITS didn't really have password control, one was technically added but IIRC it was a fig leaf on some requirement from outside MIT. The user accounts were there mostly to inform others who was logged on and who owned what process.
You could login either using terminal through ARPAnet dial-in support, or later over network, and over time there was added a more concrete "tourist" policy.
