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.

Cloudflare R2-Backed Nix Binary Cache on Fly.io
See https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/838 for making content-addressed derivations supported by hydra.nixos.org. At that point, we can actually try out the XP feature at scale.
Also see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8919 for this accepted RFC
Once those things are done, we can get back to merging in the IPFS code.
Now that there is an Nix team and I am on it, there is much, much less of an issue of these experiments being caught in limbo :).

Monorepo Build Tools
Nix is pretty cool, and I would say comparisons to Earthly are apt. I may tackle that in a follow-up. If you did a monorepo setup written in nix and then used something like Hydra for building, it might be a pretty nice solution.

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
Nix seems great for build servers. This is a great introduction to the motivations behind it.
I'm not sold on using it for managing developer environments (another use case it is often used for). It "solves" the problem that developers might be using different versions of libraries or compilers on their machines... but it comes at the cost of having to learn a whole new programming language, a configuration language, a whole new jargon, and workflow. It's a bit like using Docker as a development environment. It introduces a non-trivial amount of friction.
Some folks get excited about package management and configuration. Personally I don't care for it enough to over-come such a high learning curve. And I don't particularly like the workflow it enforces.
However it is pretty great for reproducible CI/CD systems like Hydra: https://github.com/NixOS/hydra

How shall I install a package not found at https://search.nixos.org/packages?
Somewhat related to this, is there a good way to install something from a flake inside the configuration.nix? For example, the hydra flake, since it includes many derivations for dependencies that are not part of nixpkgs (or are at the wrong versions).

Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

Text Editor: Data Structures
> The worst way to store and manipulate text is to use an array.
Claim made from theoretical considerations, without any actual reference to real-world editors. The popular Micro[1] text editor uses a simple line array[2], and performs fantastically well on real-world editing tasks.
Meanwhile, ropes are so complicated that even high-quality implementations have extremely subtle bugs[3] that can lead to state or content corruption.
Which data structure is "best" is not just a function of its asymptotic performance. Practical considerations are equally important (arguably more so).

A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
There are two main ways to configure sudo.The first one is using the sudoers file.It is located at /etc/sudoers for Linux,and /usr/local/etc/sudoers for FreeBSD respectively.The paths are different,but the configuration works in the same way. A typical sudoers file looks like this. The sudoers file must be edited with the visudo command,which ensures the config is free of errors.Running this command as the root user will result in opening vi by default.If you want to use a different editor you can set the VISUAL environment varaible to the editor you want. For example,if you want to use micro as the text editor run:
-

found that micro has dedicated info page for copy paste
