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.

Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and Cardano (ADA) Lead Altcoins Charge As 2021 Closes Its Curtains
The daily developments were reduced by August but resumed vigorously in September. The whole of September was a busy month for developers as the daily submission rates for most coins were very high. At this time, ETH, DOT, and ADA were the leader as SOL followed closely behind. It was not till towards Mid-October that the daily developments reduced.

servant-util: Extending servant with Database Integration
So, uh, the two things the blog post covers are actively awful practices. Let's look at Logging. Logging boils down to ServantLogConfig, which carries a function Text -> IO (). This is bad. Text is not a great type for logging, since it's relatively slow and encodings aren't guaranteed to be sensible (cf this bug where logging to a file was broken based on environment encoding). You want something like LogStr from fast-logger, or even a ByteString.Builder or Text.Builder even.
- Github repository is archived, where is the new development repository?

When are we going to get a nice LONG tutorial on NixOS on youtube?
oops I want my Daedalus wallet (actually very surprising it's not there as Cardano uses Nix). Meanwhile this packaging request has been Open since 2017.

Ever tried lekash IDE?
Otherwise you can use the following instructions for adding the caches to your local Nix install: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl/blob/master/docs/nix.md#binary-cache

Thinking of swapping most of my altcoin for Cardano
For what it's worth, coincheckup is tracking https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl which is the old repo from before they split up a lot of the infrastructure into their own repos.

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup
For a single file script, nix can make the package management quite easy: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-f...

NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

The xz attack shell script
I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball. Checkout the comment on the current xz entry in nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/comp...

Debian Git Monorepo
NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.
I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.
Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
In this specific case, nix uses fetchFromGitHub to download the source archive, which are generated by GitHub for the specified revision[1]. Arch seems to just download the tarball from the releases page[2].

GitHub Disabled the Xz Repo
True, but irrelevant -- _some packages_, _somewhere_, do depend on xz, which, if built, requires pulling the source from GitHub (see the default.nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.11/pkgs/tools...)
It's not the vulnerability that's a problem right now (NixOS was protected by a couple of factors) but rather GitHub's hamfisted response.
That is the problem.

Combining Nix with Terraform for better DevOps
We’ve noticed that some users have been asking about how to use older versions of Terraform in their Nix setups [1, 2]. This is an example of the diverse needs of people and the importance of maintaining backward compatibility. We hope that nixpkgs-terraform will be a useful tool for these users.
