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 :).

Concerns about Arch Team size, trusting Arch supply chain, developer machines and build process

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).

Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
Newcomer here. Could anyone tell if std [0] is a good way to bring more sanity into flake design, esp. in avoiding ivory towery custom approaches? Using devenv.sh is another option, but I liked emphasis on having a common mental picture and focus on SLDC that std provides.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Agreed on the experience, hard to onboard. I looked at devenv.sh as easier way to get going. Implemented all with Nix, less lock-in. Just found std [0] and that quote looks promising too.
