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.

Dive into Web RTC or write SFU on your own
Here I will briefly go over the basics of how Web RTC works; for those who are interested in going a little deeper, I’ll leave the link here. In order for two peers to be able to provide themselves with RTCPeerConnection, the SDP (Session Description Protocol) protocol is used. The protocol has a key-value structure and is essentially a description of a single peer (the name speaks for itself).

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com
Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)

If that still doesn’t cover enough I would love to hear! Always trying to make it better.

OBS Merges WebRTC Support
It is pretty easy to get a one way trip time for packets that is sub-second! You see it with conferencing and other real-time communication things.
If you are curious on the 'how' of WebRTC I wrote a Free/Open Source book that goes into the details https://webrtcforthecurious.com/. Happy to answer any particular questions you have.

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
