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: Xcode users – how do you make it more usable?
I've got something very similar! https://github.com/toasterrepairman/boostrap/tree/main/nix
It's also interesting to hear comments from the Nix detractors here. There's ample room to criticize the language and even the design philosophy behind the package manager, but it's a shame that most people never give it a "proper shot". Maybe that's the fault of Nix maintainers though.

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
Nvidia works excellent in my experience, Nix provides the best Wayland/Nvidia experience I've had out of any distro. I'm using a 3070ti, but you should be able to steal most of my configuration if you want a similar setup: https://github.com/toasterrepairman/boostrap/blob/main/nix/n...

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).
What are some alternatives?
xcpretty - Flexible and fast xcodebuild formatter
std - A DevOps framework for the SDLC with the power of Nix and Flakes. Good for keeping deadlines!
