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: Recommendations for high quality, free CS books online
I recently stumbled on https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc/ which I absolutely loved. It's really well written, comprehensible and concise. It felt like a pleasure to read which I find really rare with CS textbooks and I feel like I've come out of it understanding how computers work a bit better
Does anyone have any similar CS books they'd recommend? Ideally they'd be:
- Algorithms for Modern Hardware

Ask HN: How can I learn about performance optimization?
I admire Daniel Lemire’s work on SIMD implementations. [Lemire]
[Lemire] https://lemire.me/en/#publications
I learn a lot by reading my compiler’s and profiler’s documentation.
For Rust, the Rust Performance Book by Nicholas Nethercote et al. [Nethercote] seems like a nice place to start after reading the Cargo and rustc books.
[Nethercote] https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/
Algorithms for Modern Hardware by Sergey Slotin [Slotin] is a dense and approachable overview.
[Slotin] https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc/
Quantitative understanding of the underlying implementations and computer architecture has been invaluable for me. Computer architecture: a quantitative approach by John L. Hennessy and David A. Patterson [H&P] and Computer organization and design: the hardware/software interface by Patterson and Hennessy [P&H ARM, P&H RISC] are two introductory books I like the best. There are three editions of the second book: the ARM, MIPS and RISC-V editions.

Ask HN: Programming Courses for Experienced Coders?
Hello, recently I've enjoyed Casey Muratori's Performance-Aware Programming course[0]. You could read Algorithms for Modern Hardware[1] to learn similar set of stuff though. Casey's course is aimed at bringing beginners all the way to a nearly-industry-leading understanding of performance issues while the book assumes a bit more knowledge, but I think a lot of people have trouble getting into this stuff using a book if they don't have related experience.
I've also found Hacker's Delight Second Edition[2] to be a useful reference, and I really wish that I would get around to reading What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory[3] in full, because I end up reading a bunch of other things[4] to learn stuff that's surely in there.

SIMD Everywhere Optimization from ARM Neon to RISC-V Vector Extensions
https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc/ and http://0x80.pl/ have some stuff about this, but the latter can be dense. I've had fun getting my hands dirty with some problems at https://highload.fun/ but there's not much direction unless you go to the telegram chat and ask people questions.

Rust to .NET compiler – Progress update
> There are online Rust compilers and interpreters already if you just want to rapid prototype and develop ideas in Rust
You are responding to one of the key developers of Rust early on[1], who's been working with the language for 14 years at that point.
[1] https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/graphs/contributors?from=2... and he's still #16 in commits overall today, despite almost no activity on the rust compiler since 2014.

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650
This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html
Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

I hate Rust (programming language)
> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.
Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.
To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/
