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: A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates
I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck:
Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc?
(This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template)

Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software
You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :)

Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool
https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/
And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well).

The rise and fall of the standard user interface
Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment.

Writing HTML in HTML
It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!)
It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" -- which, frankly, are still way clunkier than this.
Write in Zim, export to html, rsync to site. Easy.

The complex simplicity of my static websites
FWIW, I've been using http://zim-wiki.org for YEARS. (Sites a little messy and I need to clean it up, but it's extremely functional,) I host my college classes websites from it, to the point that I forced myself to learn the Canvas API, to just clone the page from this site to the front page of Canvas and change the links so they come back here.

What is your favorite IDE/text-editor?
Currently vim, but I’m very excited about Zed.

Zed and AI will save us millions
The software engineering world has changed a lot, but it seems like both workers and companies haven't fully caught up yet. Recently, I've been having a lot of fun using Zed. It made programming enjoyable for me again, just like it was many years ago. Some people think Zed is just another unfinished editor, but that's not right. Zed is an AI tool. If you're not using Zed with GitHub Copilot and OpenAI GPT, you're not using it correctly, and you likely don't need Zed at all.

Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code
Now, fast forward to last year's Rails World conference that I was a lucky attendee of. What a breeze of fresh air! Among the many many inspiring people, talks and presentations, I noticed one thing: most people use VS Code, some use Vim but – more importantly – a lot of people tweak their editor / IDE almost as routinely as they tweak the code they work on professionally! And I thought: I want that too, how come I've lost this mindset here? I’ve taken for granted that I can tweak every imaginable aspect of my Linux OS as well as the Gnome environment so why not my IDE – the program that I literary spend most hours a day in? That was the final nudge for me to try to switch to something – anything really – that would be feasible for me to tweak and that’s how I ended up in VS Code. I’m not saying this will be my final IDE destination (looking at you Zed, Fleet or perhaps even Vim) but I know I want to stay closer to where a more active developer community around the editor is.

Local LLM Assistant in Zed
The GitHub issue #4424 for Zed relates to the lack of a feature for using local large language models (LLMs). In response to this, I proposed a workaround that enables the integration of local LLMs into Zed. This solution addresses the need for a non-proprietary, offline alternative to mainstream models like ChatGPT, potentially increasing privacy and control for users.
To integrate a custom model in Zed, I bypassed the limitation of only using OpenAI models. I did this by running the Mistral model from the Ollama library and cloning it to appear as "gpt-4-1106-preview." The steps included pulling and running the Mistral model, then using Ollama's commands to clone it. I updated Zed's settings to point to the local API URL of the cloned model. Restarting Zed applied these changes, enabling the use of the local LLM within Zed's environment.

From 1s to 4ms
There's no great mystery here, if you look at the internal function that's being called, it contains a TODO explaining that the code is unnecessarily quadratic and needs to be fixed:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/12b12ba17a380e321...
So if selecting all matches requires calling this function for each match then I guess it's accidentally cubic?
I also spotted two linear scans before this code (min by key and max by key).
It seems like a combination of the implementation being inefficient even for what it was for (and that this was known), then it was used for something else in a naive way, and the use of a bad abstraction in the code base came at a performance cost.
I don't think this is a case of Rust either demonstrating or failing to demonstrate zero-cost abstractions (at a language level). A language with zero-cost abstractions doesn't promise that any abstraction you write in it is magically going to be free, it just promises that when it makes a choice and abstracts that away from you, it is free (like with dynamic dispatch, or heap allocation, or destructors, or reference counting, etc).
