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.

Minimal implementation of Mamba, the new LLM architecture, in 1 file of PyTorch
>"everyone" seems to know Mamba. I never heard of Mamba
Only the "everybody who knows what mamba is" are the ones upvoting and commenting. Think of all the people who ignore it. For me, Mamba is the faster version of Conda [1], and that's why I clicked on the article.

Towards a New SymPy
Yes, this is a big disadvantage. But have you tried Mamba that aims at implementing Anaconda more efficiently? It works really well in most cases.

Why are the bioconda bioconductor packages so slow to update?
Because conda is very slow at resolving dependencies. Mamba (https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba) is faster if that is your goal

Is pip gaining on conda for python libs?
use mamba instead

Real-world examples of std::expected in codebases?
We started using tl::expected in https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/ since the beginning of this year and some other related projects like https://github.com/mamba-org/powerloader . I don't know much other big open-source codebases that use that specific lib.

What's Great about Julia?
Great writeup. Minor comment about the portion of the post mentioning Conda being glacially slow: Mamba [1] is a much better drop-in replacement written in C++. Not only is it significantly faster, but error messages are much more sane and helpful.
That being said, I do agree that Pkg.jl is much more sleek and modern than Conda/Mamba.

Given Rust’s rapidly growing popularity and wide range of use cases, it seems almost inevitable that it will overtake Python in the near future.
I thought that python could live a little longer when I learned about mamba. But then I found out it is written in C++? Why write a package manager for a dying language in a language that is almost dead???
-
Does anyone use virtual environments (Conan's virtual env. or Conda's) for C++
Yes, I use Conda enviroments (actually I use Mamba to manage them now).

Nix: The Breaking Point
I don't think so. The article is probably intended for the Nix community, so the author doesn't need to convince HN that something is going on. If as an outsider you are interested then you need to look into it yourself, the community has no obligation to make their internal conflicts legible to the outside world.
As an outsider myself, it certainly looks like something is going on as more than 20 Nixpkg maintainers left in a week: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%228.has%3...

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup

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.
