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.

- Show HN: CLI for generating beautiful PDF for offline reading

Working with PDFs in Ruby
We’ll start with the WickedPDF gem, which is powered by the wkhtmltopdf command-line library.
-
Any good tutorials for working with pdfs in Rust?
The only “sane” way I’ve found to be able to deal with pdfs is through this tool https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
-
Batch saving webpages to PDFs? (Sub wiki page deleted)
wget + https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
-
Get attributes from another session without loading that session
Thanks for the suggestion! KnpSnappyBundle was my initial way to go as well, but my pages use quite some Javascript (chartJs) to render and I couldn’t get wkhtmltopdf to work with it. As it seems wkhtmltopdf does not support ES6 https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/3596 so I was forced to find another way.

Open Source Tool to create a PDF structure via coding?
wkhtmltopdf — Generates PDFs from HTML documents.

Fixed width tables in PDFs
Of the HTML-based pdf-engines pandoc supports, prince would have the best typography, but I don't like recommending Prince because it's proprietary and costs money. (I try to stick to open source when I can.) wkhtmltopdf is the fastest, but uses a pretty old codebase, and doesn't even support paged/print css. weasyprint is a little better in my experience, but still has a ways to go typographically. pagedjs-cli is just a wrapper around headless Chrome/Chromium, and while Chrome has made improvements with regard to typography, Google turns off some of those features (e.g., hyphens) in headless mode, which is annoying.

Is there a command line program to convert web pages into readable markdown/htm/pdf format? preferably markdown
Concerning pdf there is the well known wkhtmltopdf , but let me say that I love the not so well known percollate
-
LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?
Did you try wkhtmltopdf and WeasyPrint, by any chance?
-
Is there any program that helps you build your own bestiary for homebrew settings?
Since the srd uses standardized links (base/creature type/creature name) you could make a list of urls based on your selected monsters in a spreadsheet, then use a program like https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, https://www.weenysoft.com/free-html-to-pdf-converter.html, or the url conversion feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro if you combine all the urls into an htm for Acrobat to pull from.

How difficult would it be to make a c++ compiler
Sean Baxter created a front end c++ compiler by himself, using llvm for the back end and the gcc or clang stl. I think it took him a couple of years. https://www.circle-lang.org/. Before this happened I heard a couple of different people claiming that there would never be a totally new compiler as it was too much work.

Toward a TypeScript for C++"
The real Typescript for C++ is Circle.
https://www.circle-lang.org/
Just like Typescript to JavaScript, the syntax is an evolution of what already exists, not a completely different syntax.

A Metaobject Protocol for C++ [pdf]
Sean Baxter's Circle [1] is arguably the spiritual successor to MOP.

Circle Evolves C++ [video]
Context: https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...
Note that Circle is not an F/OSS compiler as someone pointed out before. This however doesn't make Circle less relevant, because it is actually a testament to show that C++ could have been much better without the claimed breakage. If Circle does provide a number of desirable features and its compiler can be built by a single person, then why shouldn't the committee do the same?

My (Herb Sutter's) C++ Now 2023 talk is online: “A TypeScript for C++”
From all wannabe C++ replacements candidates, the only language that is really a TypeScript for C++, is Circle.
For whatever reason, Herb Sutter decided to ignore this language on the presentation.
https://www.circle-lang.org/
This is the only one with the syntax based on C++, incrementally changing the features via #pragma settings.

Making C++ Safe Without Borrow Checking, Reference Counting, or Tracing GC
The second someone makes a successor language that seamlessly/directly interops with C++ _AND_ has the level of build/IDE tooling that C++/Rust have, I'm on board.
The closest thing right now is Sean Baxter's "Circle" compiler in "Carbon" mode IMO:
https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...
Unfortunately, Circle is closed-source and there's no LSP or other tooling to make the authoring experience nice.
- Circle-lang: A feasible, simple, and immediate way for C++ to break out of the rut it's been in. Surprised more people aren't talking about it.

Recurrence-expression is a programmable superset of fold-expression
I read through the whole of https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/README.md and man, I'm drooling. Awesome work, kudos.

Dropping support for old C++ standards
Have a look at Circle from Sean Baxter [0]. It's pretty impressive.
