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.

To Ruby from Python
> Could you elaborate on this
I think it's more than evaluating each feature in isolation like migrations, ORM, template engine, etc..
As much as I like Python (I use Flask a lot too besides Rails), I always found Rails to include more useful features for building web applications than Django. There's lots of examples but Rails' inflector is one of them. This happens all the time in web apps, which is wanting to output "1 person" or "2 people". Rails give you a template helper for this. Python has options in the form of third party tools like https://github.com/jpvanhal/inflection, but would you rather pull in a third party tool that hasn't been updated in 2+ years or use a solution maintained by a group of folks who are building web apps used by millions of people and then extracted those features into a framework?
The APIs in Rails feel more intuitive to me (super opinion based of course), but it's like someone tried 10 different variants in a few large web apps, tinkered with it for a while, arrived at a solution and that's the one that ships with Rails. There's so much thought put into everything and you know when it's released it's been put through the ringer at Basecamp, Hey, GitHub and Shopify because those sites all run off Rails master. That's a massive amount of confidence that it'll for you too, and the best part is you get to benefit from that on day 1 when a new stable release is shipped.
It's not that Django is bad or unstable but in my opinion if I were looking to use a batteries included framework I wouldn't look anywhere else besides Rails. It's just one of those things where it feels like a really good combination of things all came together (Ruby, Matz, DHH, Basecamp, lots of sites using it, enough community support to find blog posts for tons of stuff, great third party SDK support, etc.). You could say a number of languages have similar traits but they lack the first 4 things which are IMO the most important.

I use NixOS for my home-server, and you should too!
As we covered in my last post, NixOS is a amazing Linux distribution for creating stable and declared environments. Now while this is amazing for a desktop setup, it is also perfect for a home-server or home-lab.

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
(Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

Colima k8s nix setup
Nix is a cross-platform package manager. It uses the nix programming language. Nix and NixOs are often used in the same context, but while the first is a package manager, the latter is a linux distribution based on nix.

NixOs - Your portable dev enviroment
Today I want to talk to you about Nixos. What is it? Nixos is a declarative and reproducible OS, partly taking the words used on their own page. What does that mean?

Nix – A One Pager
Software developers often want to customize:
1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).
2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.
3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.
Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):
- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI in prod,
- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction,
- reliable: all changes are atomic with easy roll back.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Ask HN: Could Nix make crypto mining more efficient?
- it reduces bloat, because you can generate an environment or OS image with only the software needed to run a specific program or service
My guess is that a big efficiency gain would come from the second point, because you don't waste CPU on code that you don't use.
Does this make sense? Has anyone explored this?

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
1) Setting up the development environment - I currently use devcontainers for most things, but may also dig into nix -> isolated, portable, repeatable development environment 2) Exploring Echo - understand routing, requests, response, etc. 3) Incorporate Templ - integration with Echo, template composition, etc. 4) Integrating TailwindCSS - config for use with Echo/Templ, development cycle, deployment, etc. 5) Add in HTMX - endpoints, template structure, concepts, etc. 6) hyperscript for interactivity - client side interactivity
