20 Years of Nix
As far as I know, it’s still about [0]. I’ve had a better experience with deploy-rs though [1] - or even just using nixos-rebuild to target the remote machine.

Will we move away from DSLs?
For example Nix can already replace ansible, packer, cloudformation[1], dockerfiles.

NixOS History and Our Experience - Nix, Null, Nada, Nothing
Nix can also ship the nixpkgs as an oci image (e.g. docker image), vm image, iso, or if you're able to: as a nixos configuration. Tools like nixops can allow you to deploy many machines and have their behavior exactly specified, and the configuration can be version controlled. NixOS configuration can be thought of as congruent configuration management, where many other tools give you many less guarantees about configuration drift and reproducibility.

The best solution for deploying flakes
There are 4 tools I'm taking into consideration right now, but every suggestion is welcome: 1. deploy-rs - I don't know anything about it, heard about it like a day or two ago 2. NixOps - the official one, I don't know what to think, but I have concerns about Flakes compatibility 3. morph - I understand this as "NixOps, but better", no more toughs. 4. colmena - seems to be pretty straightforward with quite nice docs

Spectrum OS: a declarative, reproducible, compartmentalized Linux
I'm still relatively new to NixOS, having switched all my personal systems over to it this spring/summer. I don't have a detailed answer to your question, but I believe NixOPs is the canonical way to do what you're describing in production/at scale:

Tool for managing multiple machines of a distributed system?
Nixops is specifically made for purposes like yours.

NixOS 21.05 Released!
Well, everyone of course! But especially devops, developers, power-users, and ricer folks. Due to the declarative and purity aspect of nixpkgs, all builds and configurations can be version controlled, cached and shared. NixOS can easily be extended to produce docker images, vm images, or even distributed deployments. You can also write reproducible multi-node integration tests. Tinkerers! Love playing around with the latest desktop manager or modifying builds? Nixpkgs allows you to modify any package you wish to, locally! Nixpkgs is actually a source distribution but its guarantees around purity and reproducibility are so strong that you can get a binary cache "for free".

Backblaze Is Now a Terraform Provider
You could use NixOps[0] for Nix but I'm not sure you can directly compare Terraform and Guix/Nix? My set up involves Terraform for infrastructure and Nix for provisioning, and it's working for me so far.

Benefits/disadvantages of Guix System in general and over NixOS?
I'll have to read more about NixOps though, I had kind of forgotten that it existed!
-
NixOS Linux
Kind of off topic, but I would love to have NixOps (https://github.com/NixOS/nixops) as an abstraction layer for every type of cloud service, and not just virtual machines (e.g. queues, object storages, etc).
There is Terraform and Ansible, of course, but Nix seems like it could combine the strengths of both of them.

Do all Emacs versions have blurry pdfs in pdf-tools on M1 Macbooks?
;; Fix blurry PDFs on MacOS. ;; From https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/51 (setq pdf-view-use-scaling t)

Write research paper notes/summaries in emacs
First things first, install pdf-tools, a great Emacs package for viewing pdfs. The default pdf viewer Docview is very limited so you should definitely get this package.
-
What different before you were using emacs?
nov.el is pretty nice, although pdf-tools makes PDFs tolerable.
-
pdf-tools got a new maintainer!
It looks enjoy pdf-tools got a new maintainer and he already changed the the melpa ⠀recipe, so you can get it via the package manager. I think this is a good development. My impression is, that he is new as an Emacs package maintainer, so please be kind and supportive, so he will stay on it for a while. :)

(global-linum-mode 1) causing issues with pdf viewing
I tried setting (add-hook 'pdf-view-mode-hook (lambda() (linum-mode -1))), which I found here. But it doesn't seem to do anything.
-
Disable embedded code execution in pdfs?
doc-view.el aside, there's https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools which may have its own set of issues.
What are some alternatives?
deploy-rs - A simple multi-profile Nix-flake deploy tool.
HomeBrew - 🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
