Alternatives to Makefile for Python
I like this pattern so much, I wrote an article about it; if you want to see what it looks like in real life, check this out.

reader 2.5 released – a Python feed reader library
It can also be used to build bookmarking / read later functionality similar to that of Tiny Tiny RSS; extracting content from arbitrary pages would be pretty helpful here.
To find out more, check out the GitHub repo and the docs, or give the tutorial a try.

sqlite-utils - my Python library and CLI tool for manipulating SQLite databases
Looking now through the Python API docs, I found the Quoting characters for use in search thing, which may come in handy for something I'm doing for my feed reader library (deduplicating articles). Not sure if I'll vendor it or add sqlite-utils as a new dependency, but it's good to know someone already solved this problem (I have a prototype, but I haven't really tested it).

reader 2.0 released – a Python feed reader library
I'm happy to announce version 2.0 of reader, a Python RSS / Atom / JSON feed reader library.

Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week?
I'm also working on the 2.0 version of my feed reader library. The backwards compatibility break allows me to clean up a bunch of unnecessary code and fix some bad design decisions; I've deleted 250 lines of code until now, and it's very satisfying.

PEP 661 -- Sentinel Values
The exact same problems None has when it's not a valid value. None is different from the variable type, that's why you have Optional[VarType], which is an alias for Union[VarType, None]; you can model this in exactly the same way: Union[VarType, MissingType]; here's an example.

Website showing RSS Feeds
reader is a Python feed reader library – it offers all the high-level things you'd want when making a feed reader app/website, except the actual web app.

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.
