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 lightweight PHP library for checking password strength
Lightweight is an understatement here.
A client's project (with not necessarily technical customers) has had pretty reasonable success using the Dropbox originated library[1] for this, `zxcvbn`[2], on both frontend via js (for "instant" feedback) and on the backend via php (to enforce the requirements when writing password hashes to the database)

use zxcvbn to check your password strength more thoroughly

I hope the common password whitelisters at Microsoft still get therapy benefits to share the unobfuscated language they were subjected to.

How long can a password be with the new login system?
Password strength is evaluated based on the zxcvbn library.

How hard could it be? Sorting words alphabetically in Rust
In contrast, let's consider the password "zxcvbn214". How might we assign an entropy to this password? Is it 369? Or 266 * 103? Anyone familiar with a QWERTY keyboard or Dropbox's password strength estimator knows that "zxcvbn" is hardly a random sequence of letters. This same principle applies to "l33t" speak, e.g. replacing all "e"s with 3s and "a"s with 4s. These strategies may "trick" simple entropy calculations into estimating a high entropy, but it won't trick sophisticated attackers. This leads to strength over-estimation, which is, I argue, the worst thing we can do in this context.

TIL There's Another YAML

You mean the Low-Budget Password Strength Estimator?
https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn
Yeah, that name is totally legit.
-
Which tool can crack this password so fast?
For any part of the password that the zxcvbn cannot match to a known pattern, it uses a brute-force cardinality of 10, i.e., it estimates that the number of guesses required to crack a password or password segment of length N is equal to 10N (equivalent to the number of guesses required to exhaust all possibilities if your password consisted only of numbers).

Bitwarden Design Flaw
We took a similar approach to passphrase stretching in EnvKey[1] v1 (EnvKey is a secrets manager, not a passwords manager, but uses end-to-end encryption in a similar way). We used PBKDF2 with iterations set a bit higher than the currently recommended levels, as well as Dropbox's zxcvbn lib to try to identify and block weak passphrases.
Ultimately, I think it's just not good enough. Even if you're updating iteration counts automatically (which is clearly not a safe assumption, and to be fair not something we did in EnvKey v1 either), and even with safeguards against weak passphrases, using human-generated passphrases as a single line of defense is just fundamentally weak.
That's why in EnvKey v2, we switched to primarily using high entropy device-based keys--a lot like SSH private keys, except that on Mac and Windows the keys get stored in the OS keychain rather than in the file system. Also like SSH, a passphrases can optionally be added on top.
The downside (or upside, depending how you look at it) is that new devices must be specifically granted access. You can't just log in and decrypt on a new device with only your passphrase. But the security is much stronger, and you also avoid all this song and dance around key stretching iterations.

How to debug TypeScript in Chrome
The above code starts a static server (Vercel’s serve) in port 3000. Open the URL in Chrome, open the DevTools, and click the Source tab. You’ll see main.ts as follows:

The future of React projects on Heroku
Another alternative that comes to my mind it is to use the node.js buildpack and serve the static files using serve or similar.
-
Trouble Enabling FAST_REFRESH
If you don't know how to create a backend, you can try https://npmjs.com/package/serve which is a command that will run a simple server that just serves you the files in a folder (kinda like /public does) but it runs separately from CRA/Webpack so will not affect your app. You then have to take care of fetching and updating the data with fetch() as often as you need.
-
Webpack taking ages to load page AFTER build is complete
In app.jsx I've tried removing all the root code and just rendered a typical "Hello World" p tag and it doesn't take nearly as long. I've also ran a basic web server infront of the build folder using serve which suggests it might webpack-dev-server that is having issues with the size of the application (Or could it be saying it's built before it actually is?).

scrypt - The scrypt key derivation function was originally developed for use in the Tarsnap online backup system and is designed to be far more secure against hardware brute-force attacks than alternative functions such as PBKDF2 or bcrypt.
